Financial problems are incredibly stressful. When debt collectors start calling about overdue amounts on your credit cards, medical bills, or student loans, it can affect you so much that you may contemplate bankruptcy. Getting a free case review from a consumer lawyer will confirm that you have rights in this situation.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act states that debt collectors must be ethical and transparent while dealing with you. Since 1977, practices like those listed below have been illegal and can be grounds for a lawsuit.
- Calling you several times per day
- Telling your friends, family, and co-workers that you owe a debt
- Contacting you directly when you have an attorney
- Saying that they will file a lawsuit that day if you don’t pay
- Demanding payment for a time-barred debt
