Until September of 1977, debt collection agencies had little, if any legal restrictions when it came to implementing debt collection tactics. In response to an amazing outcry from consumers, the United States Congress enacted the groundbreaking Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). According to the FDCPA, a third party debt collector like Radius Global Solutions, LLL is not permitted to call you repeatedly throughout the day. Bill collectors are also barred from using the timeless overly aggressive debt collection practice of issuing threats to coerce consumers into paying off outstanding credit balances.
