Collection agencies harass people in several different ways. They yell, call you names, and threaten to sue you. Such behavior is illegal, but they bet on the probability that you are too unfamiliar with their rights to protest.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) which was passed in 1977, prohibits actions like the following while collecting a debt and penalizes offending collection agencies with fines and even license revocation.
● Using profane and obscene language
● Contacting you at work if you are not allowed to receive calls there
● Trying to collect amounts that exceed the original debt
● Contacting you if they are aware that you are being represented by an attorney
● Pretending to be police officers or federal agents
● Threatening legal action they are not eligible to take or have no intention of taking
