If your life is being interrupted by debt collectors, you may be tempted to declare bankruptcy Before opting for such a consequential solution, make sure that you first investigate your rights as an indebted consumer.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

In 1977 Congress passed the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, which gave consumers the right to dispute a debt and demand no further contact from the debt collector. Third-party collection agencies were also prohibited from using harassing or deceptive tactics to collect a consumer debt.

• Yelling, swearing, and using language meant to intimidate you
• Discussing the debt with anyone except you, your attorney, spouse, or any co-signers on the debt
• Demanding amounts inflated by ‘service charges’ and other miscellaneous fees
• Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
• Telling you that you will arrested or your wages garnished if you don’t pay
• Pretending to be police officers or federal agents with power to enforce payment
