Few things make you feel out of control like a debt collector who chases you relentlessly for money you don’t have. They tell you that they can keep calling until you pay, but that’s not true. The reality is that consumer harassment by third-party debt collectors is illegal and you have the ability to make it stop.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) prohibits third-party collection agencies from embarrassing, threatening, or deceiving consumers into paying a debt. If you are subjected to any of the following types of mistreatment, call an attorney to discuss your next steps.
- Ignoring a written cease communications notice
- Using an autodialer to keep calling your cell phone
- Calling you at inconvenient times and places, such as before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
- Pretending to be federal agents with a case against you
- Threatening to have you served with court papers at work
- Telling you that they are going to have you arrested
