You may owe money to a credit card provider or a medical services provider, but that does not give collection agencies the freedom to harass you for payment.
If you’re dealing with a debt collector who calls you day and night and leaves abusive voice messages, call a consumer lawyer for assistance in protecting your rights.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, is a federal law that protects the rights of indebted consumers. If a third-party collection agency tries to bully or manipulate you into paying in the following ways, you can complain to the Federal Trade Commission and even sue the agency.
- Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. your time
- Disguising the fact that they are debt collectors trying to collect a debt
- Swearing and calling you names
- Trying to collect after you have formally disputed a debt
- Discussing the debt with anyone except you, your spouse, and your attorney
- Ignoring a formal cease communications request
