Top 10 Collector Violations

Top 10 Collector Violations

Violations of Debt Collection & Reporting Acts

Federal law provides extensive protection for consumers who take out credit or loans. These laws are found in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and more. When a creditor or debt collection agency violates the terms of these and other debt collection laws, the consumer has every right to take action against them for restitution.

The top 10 collector violations are as follows:

  • Calling repeatedly or continuously
  • Calling before 8:00 a.m., after 9:00 p.m., or at any hour previously determined to be inconvenient to you
  • Calling you at a number at which that you did not consent to be contacted
  • Contacting you at work when it is known that your employer does not approve
  • Using profanity or foul language
  • Threatening to take actions they cannot or will not take
  • Asking you to pay more than you owe
  • Providing your debt information to a third party
  • Failing to send a debt validation notice when requested
  • Continuing collection practices after receiving a written request to stop collections
