Being in debt is one of life’s most stressful experiences. You live paycheck to paycheck, and debt collectors contact you constantly to demand what little money you do manage to take home. While these collection agencies are legally permitted to contact you about the dent, harassing you is a different matter altogether.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) requires debt collectors be professional when collecting or attempting to collect a debt. Tactics like the following violate federal law and can result in significant sanctions being levied against the company.
- Using the telephone to harass you (e.g calling every hour and hanging up when the person answers)
- Telling your friends and family that you owe money in order to embarrass you into paying
- Refusing to prove that a debt is valid and they are authorized to collect it
- Trying to collect amounts that are not authorized by law or the original agreement that created the debt
- Warning you that you will be arrested, lose your kids, etc, if you do not pay immediately
- Using profane and obscene language
