While debt collectors may legally ask you to pay a debt, they are not allowed to harass and bully you until you pay. In fact, if a collection agency does take things to that extreme, you have the legal right to demand that they stop and sue them if they don’t.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was passed 40 years ago to stop abusive conduct on the part of third-party collection agencies. Since 1977, collection tactics like the following have been illegal under federal law.
● Using profane and obscene language
● Calling at inconvenient times, usually before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m.
● Threatening action they cannot legally take or have no intention of taking
● Telling you that by failing to pay the debt, you have committed a crime
● Demanding amounts that are inflated by ‘service charges’
● Calling you several times per day using an autodialer
