If you are deep in debt, you’re likely already stressed and upset, and debt collector harassment is the last thing you want to deal with.

If debt collectors are overstepping their boundaries with you, you can fight back.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

• Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. your time
• Using profane or obscene language
• Calling you at work after you’ve told them that your employer doesn’t allow such calls
• Telling your friends, neighbors, and co-workers that you owe money
• Maliciously reporting false information to the credit bureaus
• Demanding outrageous amounts that exceed the amount of the original debt
