Have you been harassed by a debt collector? Have they called your family to say that you owe money, used foul language, or threatened you with prison if you didn’t pay immediately? This conduct is illegal, so your next step should be to retain a consumer lawyer who will protect your rights.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA

- Swearing and using racist language
- Calling you a criminal
- Demanding amounts not supported by law or the original creditor agreement
- Failing to identify themselves during each communication as a debt collector seeking to collect a debt
- Calling you several times a day
- Demanding that you pay immediately even though you are entitled to dispute
