Debt can overwhelm anyone, even people who have always been financially responsible. Unfortunately, many debt collectors treat anyone who owes money like thieves and deadbeats. They taunt you, call you names, and threaten to have you arrested. If this happens to you, that collection agency is breaking the law, so call a consumer attorney right away.
