Fair Debt Collections Practices Act
Understanding Your Rights
How to Stop Debt Collectors Harassment
If you’ve dealt with threatening and intimidating calls and letters from debt collectors you may be wondering how to stop the harassment. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), provides rules that debt collectors must follow when attempting to collect debt. This includes the rule that debt collectors cannot legally contact you once you advise them that you’ve hired an attorney.
More rules that fall under the FDCPA include:
- A debt collector MUST write to you within FIVE DAYS of the first call you receive to tell you in writing: the amount of the alleged debt, the alleged creditor of the debt, and how you can dispute this debt
- A debt collector MAY NOT call you on your cell phone after you tell them to stop using your cell phone
- A debt collector MAY NOT try to collect money from you when you are in bankruptcy
The FDCPA can be a very powerful tool if invoked and can potentially get rid of debt collector harassment. However, the calls may not always stop even if you attempt to stop them yourself. Hiring the right debt lawyer may help handle your creditors so you don’t have to.
