Few people acquire credit with the intention of defaulting. Unfortunately, setbacks happen both personally and financially. If your creditors send the accounts to a debt collector, they may not be civil or respectful, but you don’t have to tolerate abuse. Read on to learn more!

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, protects indebted consumers from being harassed by overzealous debt collectors. If any agency uses these approaches on you, contact a consumer attorney

  • Pretending to be police officers or attorneys
  • Saying they have court papers to serve on you when they don’t
  • Shouting and calling you names
  • Ignoring your dispute letter
  • Calling members of your family and telling them about the debt
  • Chasing you for a debt discharged in bankruptcy
