People can experience financial hardship through no fault of their own, but once they miss a certain number of payments on their credit card or student loan bills, the collection calls and letters soon start. If this happens to you, don’t panic. Even if you owe money, you have rights that collectors cannot disregard without consequences.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), third-party debt collectors may not indulge in unprofessional conduct when trying to collect a consumer debt. This means that collection methods like those below can result in fines and even revocation of an agency’s license.
- Using profane or obscene language
- Calling someone at work if they know that the employer does not permit such calls
- Telling the person’s friends, neighbors, and co-workers that they owe money
- Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
- Trying to collect an amount that is not authorized by law or the original creditor agreement
- Failing to identify themselves as debt collectors in each communication
