Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, imposes strict guidelines on how third-party debt collectors can communicate with you. Collection tactics like those below are illegal and give you grounds to sue a company that uses them on you.

• Demanding payment for a debt discharged in bankruptcy
• Cursing and swearing over the phone
• Trying to collect an amount not included in the original creditor agreement
• Calling anyone except you, your spouse, or attorney about the debt
• Threatening legal actions it has no intention of taking
• Refusing to prove that they are authorized to collect the debt
