STOP CREDITOR HARASSMENT
Understand Your Rights
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) makes it illegal for debt collectors to harass, oppress, or abuse any debtor. You have the right to tell the debt collector to stop calling. The FDCPA protects debtors against abusive collection tactics by debt collectors, but it does not apply to your original creditor. If the debt collector engages in harassment, let us know because you may be entitled $1000 or more, as well as the cost for court and attorney fees.
