The Federal Trade Commission receives several complaints a year from consumers who have been harassed nonstop by debt collectors. If you are receiving aggressive calls and letters that leave you awake at night, be aware that you have rights and don’t have to passively tolerate such treatment.
Your Rights
The FDCPA, was passed in 1977 to protect indebted consumers from being harassed into bankruptcy. It regulates the debt collection industry and penalizes companies that do the following:
- Calling at all hours of the day and night
- Reporting inaccurate information to the credit bureaus
- Refuse to validate the debt and prove that they are authorized to collect it
- Calling you at work after you tell them that you can’t take personal calls there
- Leaving you multiple voicemails
- Using profane or obscene language
