If you’ve fallen behind on your bills, chances are you have been contacted by debt collectors. However, debt collectors need to abide by the law, and they cannot use unfair or deceptive practices when trying to collect overdue debts. If you feel you are being harassed by a debt collector, it might be worth your while to contact an attorney and determine if you can seek legal remedy.
More often than not, harassment pertaining to debt collection comes from third-party collectors. They are not the original providers of credit – instead, they purchase outstanding debts from original creditors with the aim of collecting what’s overdue.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) places limitations on the actions that third-party collectors can take when collecting unpaid debts. The FDCPA safeguards the interest of borrowers in different ways, and here are guidelines that debt collectors need to follow.
If you feel that a debt collector or a debt collection agency is violating any rule of the FDCPA, you have the right to seek legal recourse, and even to sue the collector/collection agency. In any such scenario, you can trust our highly experienced attorneys to guide you in the right direction.
