When collection agencies are calling every day and demanding payment, it can be so stressful that you might consider bankruptcy. Before making an appointment with a trustee, however, see an attorney first, as you have the legal standing to fight back.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
In 1977 Congress passed the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA to protect consumers from unfair debt collection practices. Today, tactics like those below are illegal and can incur serious consequences.
- Calling at all hours of the day and night
- Discussing the debt with uninvolved third parties
- Contacting you after you have sent a cease and desist letter
- Using profane or obscene language
- Making threats they cannot legally follow up on
- Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m.
