The federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act provides very specific rules about what third-party debt collectors can and cannot do when it comes to collecting debts. Unfortunately, most people don’t know their rights under the FDCPA and are all too often victims of debt collector abuse.
Broadly speaking, the FDCPA forbids debt collection agencies from harassing you, embarrassing you, threatening you, and misleading you. It’s designed to preserve your dignity and respect, as well as to ensure that you actually owe the money the debt agency is trying to collect.
