When you can’t cover your debt payments due to job loss and debt collectors are pursuing you, it’s stressful enough.
But if they yell at you, call you names, and threaten to tell your boss that you owe money, it is actually illegal and you have the ability to fight back.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, requires third-party debt collectors to be professional and follow approved guidelines when contacting consumers. Tactics like those can result in severe penalties.
- Using profane and obscene language
- Contacting you outside approved hours
- Discussing the debt with your friends and co-workers
- Contacting you when you are being represented by counsel
- Pretending to be attorneys or police officers
- Demanding amounts that exceed the original debt
