Protecting Your Rights Against Creditors
Creditors and debt collectors frequently take advantage of consumers. They often use abusive and harassing tactics in attempt to collect debt. Most consumers believe these tactics are wrong, when in fact, they are actually illegal.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) has specific guidelines for how debt collectors treat consumers. More specifically, the FDCPA outlines debt collection practices that are prohibited, such as:
- Contacting you before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m.
- Contacting you at work after asking them not to
- Communicating with third parties about your debt
- Using profane or obscene language
- Threatening you with physical harm
- Threatening criminal action or jail
Unfortunately, many debt collectors still use these tactics despite them being illegal. In these cases, it is important to speak with a debt defense lawyer in Texas about how to make them stop. You should also know that once you are working with a lawyer, debt collectors must communicate with you through your lawyer.
