If you lose your job and have a hard time finding another one, your monthly bills (credit cards, student loans, medical debt) can go into arrears. If this happens, your creditors may assign or sell them to a third-party debt collector.
These companies are not always ethical in their collection methods, but if they harass you in any way, you have grounds to file a claim under the FDCPA.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, provides you with legal protection no matter how much you owe. Any debt collector that uses these types of collection strategies on you can be fined thousands of dollars and closed permanently.
- Yelling and using obscene language
- Demanding that you pay a debt discharged in an earlier bankruptcy
- Calling you at inconvenient times and places
- Saying they will garnish your wages without a court order
- Calling you at work when your employer does not allow such calls
- Pretending to be police officers or federal agents
