Fair Debt Collection Laws in a Nutshell
Debt collection efforts are strictly regulated by State and federal law and set forth permissible and impermissible methods for debt
collectors when collecting consumer debt, for example, the collector may not harass you, contact you at inconvenient times or places,
or after being told to stop. Although violations of these laws do not "wipe away" legitimate debts, such violations do require mandatory
monetary to you of up to $1,000, plus actual damages, plus your reasonable attorney fees and court costs paid by the collector if you
prevail.
