Although there are federal laws that control debt collector conduct, a lot of companies ignore them because few people understand their rights. If you’re being bullied or manipulated by a collection agency, knowing your options will help you fight back.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was passed in 1977 to regulate debt collector conduct, but some companies count you being unfamiliar with your rights and trying to compel payment by:
● Ignoring your cease communications request
● Refusing to validate the debt
● Calling before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
● Contacting you after learning that you are represented by an attorney
● Threatening to garnish your wages if you don’t pay
● Calling your workplace
