If a debt collector is harassing you nonstop, it has the potential to ruin your life. People who owe less than $100 have been called several times a day, yelled at, and embarrassed in front of their friends and family.

• Using profane and obscene language
• Telling your friends, neighbors and co-workers that you owe money and they are trying to collect it from you
• Making legally insupportable threats
• Failing to identify themselves as debt collectors in each communication
• Failing or refusing to report a debt as disputed to the credit bureaus
• Calling you outside of the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. your time
