A debt collector must identify himself/herself as a debt collector and must provide you with a statement that he/she is calling to collect a debt Within five days after you are first contacted, the collector must send you a written notice telling you the amount of money you owe; the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money; and what action to take if you believe you do not owe the money.

The Fair Debt Collection Act was designed to eliminate abusive and deceptive debt collection practices. There are federal controls on what debt collectors can and cannot do while trying to collect debt from consumers. The FDCPA allows our attorneys to help end unfair communications and in some cases, seek financial assistance.
Harassment by debt collectors in attempts to collect their dues violates federal law and oversteps legal regulations. The following should be noted when dealing with agencies and collectors:
- Numerous daily phone calls without messages and hang-ups.
- Embarrassing, rude, or misleading comments used to intimidate in conversation.
- Calls to your employer, colleagues, or direct work line.
Debt collectors may also be guilty of breaking both state and federal law through violations that can include:
- Trying to collect more debt than is owed or trying to extract late fees, penalties, higher interest rates, or other costs on the principal of the amount owed when you have been making on time and regular payments.
- Speaking to third parties without your permission in an effort to locate your whereabouts.
- Failure to send written notice on the amount of debt owed and the creditor to whom it is owed to.
