Is your life being made miserable by a debt collector because you can’t afford to pay what they are demanding? This situation can make you feel stressed and powerless, which is exactly how this debt collector wants you to feel. For them, discovering that you have rights would be a game-changer.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) has been regulating the professional conduct of third-party collection agencies since 1977. It allows you to take legal action against any debt collector that uses abusive strategies like the following:
- Threatening you with a lawsuit that never transpires
- Calling you abusive names
- Calling you at work when your employer prohibits such communications
- Claiming to be federal agents with a warrant for your arrest
- Chasing you for a debt that isn’t yours
- Failing to report a dispute to the credit bureaus
