How to Fight Back Against Debt Collectors Who Cross the Line?
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was enacted to protect consumers against overly aggressive debt collectors. This act makes it illegal for collectors to threaten consumers, call excessively, or harass debtors. Harassment is considered calling too early in the morning, calling late at night, using profanity, or telling third parties about the debt. If a debt collector breaks these rules, the consumer may file a complaint with the FTC. If a collector has violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, they may be forced to forfeit the debt. This gives consumers a way to protect themselves against aggressive debt collections.
