When you’re struggling financially, the last thing you want or need is debt collectors making your situation worse. Yet millions of Americans are contacted in abusing and harassing manners every year, unaware that they have rights that include the ability to stop such aggressive treatment.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, limits the ways that third-party collection agencies can try to collect a debt from you. It also gives you the right to dispute a debt and sue an agency that subjects you to mistreatment in the following ways:
- Demanding payment for a time-barred debt
- Claiming that you can go to jail for not paying a debt
- Failing to report your dispute to the credit bureaus
- Threatening legal actions it had no intention of taking
- Failing to send a debt validation letter
- Calling you outside the hours of 8:00 a.m to 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
