About Debt Collection Defense

The law protects debtors from unlawful collection practices or improperly filed suits. Consumer protection statutes were enacted to prohibit such behavior and can allow for the recovery of damages and/or attorney fees.

Sometimes collection agencies resort to persistent and overly aggressive tactics when attempting to collect outstanding debts. Most of these tactics are also against the law To curb abusive debt collection practices the federal government passed the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). The FDCPA actively prohibits collection agencies from using wrongful methods to collect debts. Under this law the collection agency may actually have to pay $1,000.00 dollars for violating the law. When a debt collector uses obscenity, lies, and threats, they have broken the law and should be held accountable.

Examples of illegal debt collection tactics include:

Calling too early or too late while you are asleep
Auto-robo dial calls
Using obscene language
Threatening you abusively
Not revealing who you are speaking with
Suing on a debt that is passed the statute of limitations
Misrepresenting the amount you owe
Contacting you if you have an attorney
Contacting your employer or other persons about your debt
