If you have been harassed by a third-party debt collector, you may be entitled to a settlement. The FDCPA protects consumers like you from harassing tactics. For example, a debt collector cannot call you night and day.
A general rule of thumb is that a debt collector cannot call you before 8 A.M. your time, or after 9 P.M. your time. This FDCPA violation is not cut-and-dry—For example, if a debt collector were to call you at 7:58 A.M., a judge will likely not believe that he or she is in violation of the FDCPA.
When Hours Become a Violation
What could be considered a violation, however, would be a debt collector purposely calling you at 11 P.M. to harass you to try to get a payment quicker. A debt collector would also be in violation of the FDCPA if he or she specifically called you at a time you said was inconvenient, such as when you’re at work.
If you have been called at odd hours, you should speak with an FDCPA attorney as soon as possible. A creditor harassment attorney can protect your rights. Most importantly, once you hire an FDCPA attorney, debt collectors will not be able to legally call you.
