When a debt collector is calling you nonstop and trying to stress you into paying a debt you can’t afford, they may tell you that they are in the right because you owe money. In reality, mistreating you in this manner puts them in the wrong and you can take legal action to make them stop.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, mandates that third-party collection agencies treat you with respect when they communicate with you about a debt. If they try to make you pay by using these pressure tactics, hire a consumer lawyer to help you protect your rights.
- Threatening you with wage garnishment
- Misrepresenting how much you owe by adding illegal collection fees
- Threatening to harm you or damage your property
- Calling your friends and family to embarrass you
- Swearing at you and calling you abusive names
- Pretending to be police officers
