Thousands of people greeted the New Year with huge amounts of debt, thanks to holiday spending, and January layoffs in some industries may eventually compromise their ability to pay.
Although debt collectors are supposed to treat indebted consumers with understanding and respect, this doesn’t always happen, so everyone should understand their rights when they have a debt in collections.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was passed in 1977 and continues to be a major consumer protection law. It gives you the right to dispute a debt and tell the debt collector to stop calling and sending you letters.
In addition, it gives you the right to sue a collection agency that does any of the following:
- Leaving aggressive and obscene voice messages
- Telling you that you have committed a crime and will go to jail
- Refusing to identify themselves as debt collectors in all communications
- Trying to make you pay immediately although you have 30 days to dispute the debt
- Chasing you for a debt that doesn’t even belong to you
- Demanding payment for a debt that was discharged in a bankruptcy
