Are debt collectors threatening to garnish your wages or seize your assets if you don’t pay them immediately? If so, you’re not the only one. Thousands of Americans have accounts currently in collections, and many of them complain to the Federal Trade Commission about collection agency misconduct.

If the agency tasked with collecting your debt blatantly mistreats you, be aware that it is breaking the law.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

• Using profane or obscene language
• Calling you at work when your employer does not allow such calls
• Calling before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
• Calling you several times a day
• Contacting you after you have formally requested that all communications cease
• Telling you that you can arrested or imprisoned for nonpayment of a debt
