Debt collectors are not known for their stellar customer service, which is why they only took second place to identity theft in the number of complaints they generate to the Federal Trade Commission.
If you are dealing with a debt collector who calls you at work, uses aggressive and belittling language, and constantly threatens lawsuits, learn more about how you can stop it.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, sets guidelines for how and when third-party debt collectors can contact you. Collection tactics like those below violate federal law and can result in serious professional and financial penalties for the collection agency.
- Demanding payment for a debt barred by statute
- Failing to send a debt validation letter within five days of first contact
- Leaving voice messages that do not identify them as debt collectors
- Inflating the debt with illegal collection fees and service charges
- Cursing and swearing at you
- Threatening legal actions it has no intention of taking
