Forms Of Harassment
Harassment, threats, verbal abuse, intimidation, or similar dirty tactics are banned by the US law under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
But, still, some debt collection companies choose to harass consumers in order to attempt debt collection.
Now, since there are many forms of harassment, it is important to know at least the basics so that the next time you or someone you know comes across any form of verbal abuse, you know what the US law says about it, what are the consumer rights, and what you can do to ensure your protection.
First of all, what you should know is those debt collection companies are not allowed to intervene when you are enjoying your odd hours.
These hours are considered to be the consumer’s time zone by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Now, another variation of the similar offense is when debt collection companies choose to call a consumer multiple times per week.
And when debt collection companies don’t opt for these tactics, they go for the third. This is when debt collection agencies choose to subject you to Robocalls.
Now, if they have a little more courtesy, then their representatives will call you. However, if they are using obscene language, then this is also regarded as harassment according to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
However, it has also been a part of debt collection company’s tactics to threaten consumers of publicizing their data.
But, these companies didn’t limit themselves to just threats, they actually somewhat acted on their threats.
How? They started contacting relatives and neighbors of consumers, informing them about debts that they owe.
Your Rights Under Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act grants you the full right to keep your information as secret as it should be.
It is not allowed to be publicized under any circumstances whatsoever except for the ones that are mentioned in the document which we refer to as FDCPA.
Even if you owe money and you are not able to pay it back, there is not a single law that allows any debt collection company to publicize your data if you are not able to pay back the money you owe.
Look, here’s what needs to be understood about debt collection companies.
They are just a third party which are hired by their clients to collect money from consumers and return it to the clients.
Now to do this, debt collection companies sometimes choose to opt for the “by hook or by crook” strategy which has no legal value in the government’s opinion.
Hence, there is a system that needs to be followed by both the consumers and the debt collection company. For example, a consumer is to be respected during the contact and should not be subject to obscene language or threats.
Not only that but a consumer shouldn’t become subject to multiple calls either. And as for its variations such as subjecting a customer to robocalls, it is not allowed either.
So, there are a ton of rights granted to you by the fair debt collection practices act. If you want to know more about them then we will highly recommend you to go and read the act so that you may better understand what your rights are according to US law.
