Is a collection agency making your life miserable by calling you nonstop and embarrassing you in front of your friends and family? If they tell you that there is no law preventing them from treating you this way, they’re lying. As an indebted consumer, you have rights protected by state and federal law.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, outlines what a debt collector can do to collect a debt, requiring that third-party debt collectors to treat you with respect when communicating with you about a debt. If a company tries to make you pay by using these types of pressure tactics, see a consumer lawyer about protecting your rights.
- Calling your friends and family and revealing that you owe money
- Swearing at you
- Saying that they have obtained a judgment against you when they haven’t
- Pursuing payment for a debt discharged in bankruptcy
- Calling you outside the hours of 8:00 a.m to 9:00 p.m.
- Failing to identify themselves as debt collector
