Debtor's Rights Under Federal Law

Debtor's Rights Under Federal Law
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a federal law that controls the actions of collection agencies toward debtors. Many of these rules affect not only the statements that agencies make during the collections process but also the ways in which they interact with the debtor or third parties. You should be aware of your rights under the FDCPA so that you can hold a collector accountable for violating them. For example, you may be able to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), sue the collector for damages, or use its violation as a bargaining tool in negotiations. (The FDCPA does not apply to creditors but only to collection agencies, although state laws may protect debtors against creditors as well.) This program will review this and more.
