In 2014 the National Consumer Law Center estimated that complaints about abusive debt collectors had increased by a staggering 900% since 2000.
They attributed this shocking increase to the rise in debt buying and residual financial woes from the 2008 crisis, but whatever a cause, it’s a sign that collection agencies aren’t always letting the law prevent them from getting your money.
The FDCPA and Your Rights

- Using grotesque or abusive language
