Are You Being Called By Action Collection Agencies*?

In 2014 the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reported that it had received over 200,000 complaints against collection agencies the previous year. If you are being harassed by a debt collector, it’s important to understand that while collecting debts is legal, abuse is not.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), is a consumer protection law that regulates the way that debt collectors can communicate with consumers. Using methods like the following to pressure someone into paying a debt can get a collection agency shut down.

• Using profane or obscene language
• Leaving messages that do not identify them as debt collectors
• Calling you at work after you’ve told them that your employer won’t let you take such calls
• Refusing to prove that a debt is valid and that they have been authorized to collect it
• Ignoring a formal cease communications request
• Calling at all hours of the day and night
