Debt Collection FAQs: A Guide for Consumers
If you’re behind in paying your bills, or a creditor’s records mistakenly make it appear that you are, a debt collector may be contacting you.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you.

Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes collection agencies, lawyers who collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them.

Here are some questions and answers about your rights under the Act.

What types of debts are covered?
The Act covers personal, family, and household debts, including money you owe on a personal credit card account, an auto loan, a medical bill, and your mortgage. The FDCPA doesn’t cover debts you incurred to run a business.

Can a debt collector contact me any time or any place?
No. A debt collector may not contact you at inconvenient times or places, such as before 8 in the morning or after 9 at night, unless you agree to it. And collectors may not contact you at work if they’re told (orally or in writing) that you’re not allowed to get calls there.

How can I stop a debt collector from contacting me?
If a collector contacts you about a debt, you may want to talk to them at least once to see if you can resolve the matter – even if you don’t think you owe the debt, can’t repay it immediately, or think that the collector is contacting you by mistake. If you decide after contacting the debt collector that you don’t want the collector to contact you again, tell the collector – in writing – to stop contacting you. Here’s how to do that:

Make a copy of your letter. Send the original by certified mail, and pay for a “return receipt” so you’ll be able to document what the collector received. Once the collector receives your letter, they may not contact you again, with two exceptions: a collector can contact you to tell you there will be no further contact or to let you know that they or the creditor intend to take a specific action, like filing a lawsuit. Sending such a letter to a debt collector you owe money to does not get rid of the debt, but it should stop the contact. The creditor or the debt collector still can sue you to collect the debt.

Can a debt collector contact anyone else about my debt?
If an attorney is representing you about the debt, the debt collector must contact the attorney, rather than you. If you don’t have an attorney, a collector may contact other people – but only to find out your address, your home phone number, and where you work. Collectors usually are prohibited from contacting third parties more than once. Other than to obtain this location information about you, a debt collector generally is not permitted to discuss your debt with anyone other than you, your spouse, or your attorney.

What does the debt collector have to tell me about the debt?
Every collector must send you a written “validation notice” telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don’t think you owe the money.

Can a debt collector keep contacting me if I don’t think I owe any money?
If you send the debt collector a letter stating that you don’t owe any or all of the money, or asking for verification of the debt, that collector must stop contacting you. You have to send that letter within 30 days after you receive the validation notice. But a collector can begin contacting you again if it sends you written verification of the debt, like a copy of a bill for the amount you owe.

What practices are off limits for debt collectors?
Harassment. Debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse you or any third parties they contact. For example, they may not:

use threats of violence or harm;
publish a list of names of people who refuse to pay their debts (but they can give this information to the credit reporting companies);
use obscene or profane language; or
repeatedly use the phone to annoy someone.
False statements. Debt collectors may not lie when they are trying to collect a debt. For example, they may not:

falsely claim that they are attorneys or government representatives;
falsely claim that you have committed a crime;
falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit reporting company;
misrepresent the amount you owe;
indicate that papers they send you are legal forms if they aren’t; or
indicate that papers they send to you aren’t legal forms if they are.
Debt collectors also are prohibited from saying that:

you will be arrested if you don’t pay your debt;
they’ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so; or
legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don’t intend to take the action.
Debt collectors may not:

give false credit information about you to anyone, including a credit reporting company;
send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency if it isn’t; or
use a false company name.
Unfair practices. Debt collectors may not engage in unfair practices when they try to collect a debt. For example, they may not:

try to collect any interest, fee, or other charge on top of the amount you owe unless the contract that created your debt – or your state law – allows the charge;
deposit a post-dated check early;
take or threaten to take your property unless it can be done legally; or
contact you by postcard.
Can I control which debts my payments apply to?
Yes. If a debt collector is trying to collect more than one debt from you, the collector must apply any payment you make to the debt you select. Equally important, a debt collector may not apply a payment to a debt you don’t think you owe.

Can a debt collector garnish my bank account or my wages?
If you don’t pay a debt, a creditor or its debt collector generally can sue you to collect. If they win, the court will enter a judgment against you. The judgment states the amount of money you owe, and allows the creditor or collector to get a garnishment order against you, directing a third party, like your bank, to turn over funds from your account to pay the debt.

Wage garnishment happens when your employer withholds part of your compensation to pay your debts. Your wages usually can be garnished only as the result of a court order. Don’t ignore a lawsuit summons. If you do, you lose the opportunity to fight a wage garnishment.

Can federal benefits be garnished?
Many federal benefits are exempt from garnishment, including:

Social Security Benefits
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits
Veterans’ Benefits
Civil Service and Federal Retirement and Disability Benefits
Service Members’ Pay
Military Annuities and Survivors’ Benefits
Student Assistance
Railroad Retirement Benefits
Merchant Seamen Wages
Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Death and Disability Benefits
Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Benefits
Compensation for Injury, Death, or Detention of Employees of U.S. Contractors Outside the U.S.
Federal Emergency Management Agency Federal Disaster Assistance
But federal benefits may be garnished under certain circumstances, including to pay delinquent taxes, alimony, child support, or student loans.

Do I have any recourse if I think a debt collector has violated the law?
You have the right to sue a collector in a state or federal court within one year from the date the law was violated. If you win, the judge can require the collector to pay you for any damages you can prove you suffered because of the illegal collection practices, like lost wages and medical bills. The judge can require the debt collector to pay you up to $1,000, even if you can’t prove that you suffered actual damages. You also can be reimbursed for your attorney’s fees and court costs. A group of people also may sue a debt collector as part of a class action lawsuit and recover money for damages up to $500,000, or one percent of the collector’s net worth, whichever amount is lower. Even if a debt collector violates the FDCPA in trying to collect a debt, the debt does not go away if you owe it.

What should I do if a debt collector sues me?
If a debt collector files a lawsuit against you to collect a debt, respond to the lawsuit, either personally or through your lawyer, by the date specified in the court papers to preserve your rights.

Where do I report a debt collector for an alleged violation?
Report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state Attorney General’s office (www.naag.org) and the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov). Many states have their own debt collection laws that are different from the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Your Attorney General’s office can help you determine your rights under your state’s law.

Let's make Police Report and bring them for the prosecution. They can not call and mess up our regular life.

keep getting calls from this number.  Calls are coming in every day and all times of the day.  When you pick up phone someone asks to hold on because they have a message for you. They keep me in hold for 1/2 an hour and they hand up them noe answer.

This is RPM.  There are numerous phone numbers they use:  616-613-2056, 914-339-5606, 312-878-9503, 314-627-5652, 616-613-2058, and these 231-337-2146, and 231-337-2148

I have had such a problem with these people, I went as far as disabling my voice mail. Have no idea who the F they are or what they want. [***].

I have received at least two phone calls a day for the last month. I don't answer. My answering machine message requests that if they are soliciting, to please remove my number from their list. (They have not done so.) Caller ID says, "Receivables." Usually they hang up, but a couple of times a message was left by someone with a heavy accent. Except for knowing my name, I could not understand what the person said. They have called me from the following numbers: 786-358-5619 / 301-882-9950 / 703-291-9039 / 231-337-2146 / 314-627-5632

Come on people.  You don't have to put up with this.  File a complaint with the FCC, Contact your State's Attorney General and file a complaint with them.  File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau for the Lynnwood, WA area and another one with the Washington State Office of the Attorney General.  Washington State is where this company operates its head office with another location in Milwaukee, OR.   They are a bottom feeding collection agency trying to collect on out-of-statute debts and collection items that have been written off by the original creditor long ago.  Therefore they cannot sue to collect and instead resort to intimidation, abusive and harassing tactics to try to bamboozle people into paying just to make them go away.  They have no power over you, even if you are the legitimate debtor.  Stick it to them.

If they continue to harass you, find an attorney with experience in FDCPA and FCRA litigation.  Both Acts allow courts to award both damages and attorney fees if you win, so you may be able to find an attorney to take such cases on contingency.  

To find a competent and experienced FDCPA/FCRA attorney, you might try www.naca.net to find those who are members in your area.  Carefully following the advice and directions of such attorneys could result in RPM paying you a sizable chunk of money as reparations for the unjustified grief they have caused you and the laws that they have broken doing it.

I keep getting calls from this number and when I answer they hang up.  This is harassment.  Please make them stop

Received a call from Receivables Per 1-231-337-2146. After reading here, I decided to call them back. I told them I got a call. They said they are calling for two people I have never heard of. I have had this number for 7 years. Rep apologized and will remove it.

Calling in the wee hours of the morning is illegal.  You have a definite FDCPA case

They have been calling my 6 year old son's phone.
I spoke with a "Josh" and explained this was an incorrect number and please remove the number. After being told that was not possible, and being hung up on twice, and speaking to 3 or 4 different people I was able to finally remove the number, after being told repeatedly that a reverse look up was not possible.
Thanks to someone named Vladimir, who did the reverse look up and fixed the issue. Humm turns out it was possible. I HOPE!

This is another of the blood sucking companies that buy debt and try to capitalize on that debt, making the debtor pay more than the debt was really worth.

According to Florida Law Sections 559.55 to 559.785:
    A debt collector can’t try to collect a debt that he knows isn’t valid
(Which I did and was told basically “oh well”.)
Florida law allows individual consumers to sue debt collection agencies. A successful lawsuit filed in the state can result in an award of actual damages or $1,000, whichever is great, along with attorney fees. A judge can also award punitive damages. This is in addition to being able to sue a debt collection agency for violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
With the help of a fair debt attorney, you can often reach a settlement with a debt collection agency that either puts money in your pocket or erases part or all of that debt.
If your having issues in Florida:
Go to “StopCollector.com” will provide you with a free case evaluation. If the debt collector has violated Florida state law and the FDCPA, we’ll take your case absolutely free.

Keep calling my church for some Carmela. Already told them it's a church and she is not there. Grrrr

They just called me and asked for me and I told them I wasnt home and after reading your commits on here I NEVER GIVE ANY INFOMATION TO ANY ONE OVER THE PHONE >>>>>>>>>>>>

These people call four-6 times a day and have been doing this for a month now. When I ask who it is they do not answer and there is often times just silence.

This number calls 3-4 times a day very rude will not say what they want and dont leave a message.

No, it's NOT Verizon Collections. They are scammers. The same number calls us claiming to represent PG&E in California. Do not share ANY info with them. We bought a call blocker on Amazon.com to help with the problem.

Another responder asked about their address. I looked it up and here's what I found;
