Owing money does not give collection agencies the right to harass you, but too many often get away with bullying and deceiving consumers. Don’t put up with it. You have options that include suing the collection agency for compensation.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA,/h2>

- Ignoring a formal cease communications request
- Refusing or failing the validate the debt
- Using profane and obscene language
- Discussing the debt with your family, friends, and co-workers
- Persisting in trying to collect a disputed debt
- Calling you outside of the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
