Collection Agencies Harassment
Definition:
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a Federal Law Act that
limits what debt collectors at collection agencies can do to harass debtors.
Debt collectors are the middle people who call you on behalf of the creditor
and often exhibit collection agency harassment.
Consequences of Collection Agency Harassment:
There are a number of ways collection agencies harassments take place. Collection agency harassment occurs if a debt collector contacts you over the telephone, by mail, in person, or by fax at unreasonable times or places, such as before 8am and after 9pm. The creditor can be subject to paying damages, statutory penalties, and the consumers' attorney's fees and costs.What a Lawyer can do for you:
