Few people today carry no debt whatsoever. As long as we stay employed, we can usually manage, but disability, job loss, or emergency house repairs can make these debts overwhelming. When debt collectors start contacting us, they can be harassing when you can’t pay. That’s why it’s important to know your rights.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was passed in 1977 to regulate the professional conduct of third-party debt collectors. It prohibits collection methods like the following, and companies that violate its standards can be fined or shut down.
- Demanding payment for a debt discharged in bankruptcy
- Telling you that you can be arrested for nonpayment of a debt
- Ignoring you when you tell them to stop calling
- Using profane and obscene language
- Contacting you at work after being advised that you are not allowed to talk to them there
- Pretending to be police officers or federal agents
