FDCPA Debt Collection Laws
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (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 to try and collect them. Not all debt collectors are subject to the Act. It does not apply to banks, other lenders, or businesses that collect their own accounts using their own names, nor does it cover them when they collect an isolated debt for another.
The FDCPA applies to debts such as:
- Personal, family, and household debts
- Personal credit cards
- Auto loans
- Medical bills
- Mortgage
How Debtors Are Protected
The Federal Trade Commission prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from debtors. Debt collectors can contact debtors by phone, letter, email, or text message to collect a debt so long as they follow the rules and disclose that they are debt collectors. No matter how they communicate with the debtor, it’s against the law for a debt collector to pretend to be someone else — like an attorney or government agency — or to harass, threaten or deceive the debtor.
