Protection against Creditor Harassment

The Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act (FCCPA) and Telephone Consumer Protection Act offer consumers protection against creditor harassment. Unfortunately, some creditors still utilize a number of unlawful practices in their attempt to collect the money they are owed. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA"), debt collectors are strictly prohibited from behaving in a way that can be classified as harassing. This includes calling debtors at all hours of the night, using offensive language, persistently communicating with a debtor at their place of work after being asked to desist and misrepresenting facts in any way possible - including claiming that the consumer owes more than they actually do or that they face possible arrest should they not pay. If a debt collector does not abide by the guidelines set forth by the FDCPA, they can be accused of creditor harassment.

Debt collectors know that a person in debt is likely to be embarrassed by the situation or may feel overwhelmed. They prey on these emotions and may use threats to try to coerce a debtor into paying. They may demand money that the debtor does not actually owe. They may contact friends and family members or pretend to be someone else in an attempt to pressure a debtor.
