Are Debt Collectors Harassing You? Know Your Rights!

There are a number of federal and state laws that protect you from unconscionable and illegal debt collectors.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a federal law that bars debt collectors from using abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices when attempt to collect a debt. Some common debt collection practices that are prohibited by the FDCPA include:

• Contact a consumer that is represented by an attorney
• Calling a consumer after 9:00 PM and before 8:00 AM
• Repeatedly calling a consumer to harass, abuse, or annoy the consumer into paying the debt
• Using obscene or offensive language
• Publishing a list of consumers that refuse to pay a debt
• Falsely representing the status, character, or amount of a debt
• Threatening criminal action against a consumer if they do not pay the debt
• Communicating false information about the consumer’s credit
• Failing to validate the as required under the FDCPA
• Failing to disclose to the consumer that the communication is from a debt collector
• Making false or misleading statements to the consumer
• Falsely Threatening To Sue You

Pennsylvania’s Fair Credit Extension Uniformity Act (FCEUA)

Pennsylvania’s Fair Credit Extension Uniformity Act (FCEUA) makes it a violation of Pennsylvania law for any debt collector or creditor to use abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices. The same debt collection practices that are prohibited under the FDCPA are also prohibited under the FCEUA.
