A Collection Agent May Not…

Here are the top 11 actions prohibited by the The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act:

Misrepresent Him or Herself

  A debt collector may not misrepresent himself as an attorney or law enforcement officer.

Use the Telephone to Annoy or Harass

  A collection agent may not cause a telephone to ring or engage any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with an intent to annoy, abuse, or harass anyone at the called number.

Threaten Arrest or Lawsuit

  A collection agent may not threaten a consumer with arrest. It may not threaten legal action that is either not permitted or not actually contemplated. In other words, a the threat of a lawsuit may be an empty one.

Use Abusive or Threatening Language

  A debt collector may no use abusive or profane language in the course of communication related to the debt.

Publish a Bad Debt List

  Publishing the consumer’s name or address on a "bad debt" list is prohibited.

Contact By Embarrassing Media

  A debt collector may not communicate with a consumer by post card. It may not use any language or symbol, other than the debt collector’s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram. A debt collector may use its business name if such name does not indicate it is in the debt collection business.

Contact a Consumer at Work

  A collection agent may not communicate with consumers at their place of employment after being told this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer.

Seek Unjustifiable Amounts

  A debt collector may not demand any amounts not permitted under an applicable contract or as provided under law.

Contact a Consumer Represented by an Attorney

  A collection agent may not contact a consumer after it learns the consumer is represented by a lawyer.

Communicate With a Consumer After Receiving a Validation Request

  If a consumer sends a written §1692g response within 30 days, the collection agent may not communicate with the consumer until it mails the consumer the requested verification of original creditor's name and address.

Communicate With Third Parties

  A debt collector may not reveal or discuss the nature of a consumer’s debts with third parties other than the consumer’s spouse or attorney. A collection agent may contact neighbors or co-workers only to obtain location information. It may contact a third party again if it has reason to believe the information the party provided previously is false.

Bills.com FDCPA FAQ

Below are questions Bills.com readers ask frequently:

Can a Collection Agent Call My Cell Phone?

  Yes. However, if you tell the debt collector it may not use that number because it is a cell phone, it may not contact you again at that number.

I Keep Receiving Dozens of Calls From Collection Agents. Is That Legal?

  No. Unscrupulous collection agents will use "block parties" or "office parties" where they contact a consumer, multiple neighbors, or co-workers telling them they need to reach the consumer on an urgent matter. This is not permitted under the FDCPA.

A Collector Says I Will Be Arrested if I Do Not Pay

  This was a true statement before the US Civil War, but has not been true since. People may be arrested if an aggressive judge files a bench warrant for a person who does not appear at a hearing relating to a lawsuit regarding a debt. However, in that case, the offense is the failure to respond to a court order, and not the existence of the debt. As stated above, it is illegal under the FDCPA to threaten a consumer with arrest if the consumer does not pay the debt.

Just received the same call saying I didn't pay a loan and was going to be arrested for check fraud.  I do not owe any loans to these people.   IT is a scam !

It's a scam. I got a call staying if I didn't pay within 30 minutes I would have cops come to my job in two hours with summons. Days they were with Duncan law firm. I called the real law firm and they days they have been getting a lot calls about ity and it's not them so I called my police department to report it. They have gotten calls already about it and told me if I got any more calls I can call back to let them know and possible I can press harassment charges

I have gotten this call several times with the same exact thing.

II received the same call, the same threats and the same SCAM! Some Indian dude with an attitude and something about me going to jail and an attorney being needed and blah blah blah.. ignored them and moved on, I suggest you do the same!

I had the same call, and did the same called the real law firm and said that it was not them cause they are a bankruptcy law firm. IO did give the lady the number to her and she was going to try to call them

These scums are waging a form of Jihad on working class Americans.  Unless you get a certified piece of mail from a well known,  reputable, fluent and clearly English speaking individual, who is not using fake names, and not spewing rehearsed lines - - Ignore It!  Better yet, have some fun and sass them back...

Just got a call from them, they also called my job!!!!! Oh Hell No!!! I'm glad I checked this page out and found  that everything that has been mentioned it happened to me. I called them back ready to question them about why I would need and attorney, but no call back yet.

Be careful random to you insightful to them

I just received the same voice message. An Indian sounding robotic man stating his name is Austin Hill. He doesn't even state what company is he calling from. Plus, I can barely make out what he's saying. He says if I don't return the call, or have my attorney return the call, he wishes me luck as he will proceed further. What the heck is that about?

Same thing happened to me.

I just received the exact same call at work! The guy told me he was with Dungun Law Office and that I was being invested for fraud. I had no idea what he was talking about. I told him I was not going to give him anything because I didn’t know what he was talking about. Then he told me I would be arrested in three hours, go to jail for 10 to 15 days at which time I would get a court date. Scared the crap out of me till I realized I was being scammed. He had all of my informations which I’m sure he got online. Learned my lesson and hope no one falls for this scam.
