Recognizing the Signs of Unfair Collection Practices

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a federal law that protects consumers from abusive, deceptive and unfair debt collection practices. While agencies may pursue legitimate debts, they must follow strict rules when contacting you. Many collectors, however, use intimidation tactics that violate these rules. If a debt collector engages in any of the following actions, they may be acting illegally:

• Making repetitious phone calls intended to annoy or abuse you
• Using obscene or profane language during communications
• Issuing threats of violence or physical harm
• Calling you at unreasonable times
• Contacting your friends, relatives or employer to disclose that you owe money

The Impact of Illegal Harassment on Your Life

These aggressive tactics cause more than annoyance. When collectors misrepresent your debt, falsely claim to be attorneys, or threaten arrest, they create a distressing environment. Such false statements are strictly prohibited by law. Collectors may also threaten actions they cannot legally take or do not intend to pursue. Illegal contact with your workplace or publicizing your name can damage your reputation. The resulting stress can affect your work, family and daily responsibilities.

How a Legal Professional Can Protect You

Working with an experienced lawyer equips you to challenge abusive collection agencies. The Liblang Law Firm P.C. can intervene to stop harassment and hold collectors accountable. By retaining a lawyer, you gain several key advantages:

• Directing all future collector communications to our office so your phone stops ringing
• Evaluating your case to identify clear violations of state or federal laws
• Filing a lawsuit against the collection agency for illegal practices
• Seeking compensation for damages

If you pursue legal action and prevail under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the debt collector is typically required to pay your legal fees and may owe you financial damages. We recommend keeping detailed records of all correspondence, saving voicemails, and noting the dates and times of each conversation. These records are valuable evidence for your case.
