Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


The debt collection industry is a thriving one, thanks to the number of consumers who fall behind on their debts due to illness, job loss, and disability. Even if you owe money, you have rights that prohibit debt collectors from abusing you, so contact a consumer lawyer if an over-zealous collector tries to make your life miserable.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a federal law that prohibits certain actions by debt collectors. Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is forbidden from doing any of the following and imposes strong penalties on companies that do.

  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Telling you that you can arrested or imprisoned for nonpayment of a debt
  • Using the telephone to harass you with constant calls
  • Calling you at work when they know that your employer doesn’t let you take personal calls
  • Failing to report to the credit bureaus that a debt is in dispute
  • Disguising the fact that they are debt collectors trying to collect a debt
