With student loans, medical bills, and credit cards, most Americans carry some level of consumer debt. When job loss or illness occur, debt can quickly become overwhelming and can be turned over to debt collectors who are not always ethical when going after payments.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was passed to stop debt collectors from taking extreme measures. Any collection agency that uses tactics like the following to get money can be fined thousands of dollars and even lose their license:
- Threatening legal actions it had no intention of taking
- Demanding payment for a debt discharged in bankruptcy
- Harassing you over a debt that isn’t yours
- Harassing you by phone (calling and hanging up)
- Cursing and swearing
- Collecting from you during the dispute period
