Most Asked Questions:

Can debt collectors demand payment or take legal action during the thirty (30) day period for disputing a debt?

YES! Section 809(b) permits collectors to demand payment or take legal action during the thirty-day period for disputing a debt when the consumer has not notified the collection agency in writing that the debt is disputed.

That's why it's so important to dispute invalid debts in writing the same day you're contacted! Learn more about your rights here... Most Asked Questions

Stopping Collector Harassment begins with learning about your rights under the The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Also known as the fair debt act or FDCPA, this federal law was enacted to protect us from collector abuse...but it only works if we know how to use it properly!

The FDCPA clearly defines the rules that bill collectors and even collection attorneys must obey when collecting debts. Many states have their own laws similar to the FDCPA and some of these laws also define collection rules for creditors collecting their own debts.

This site is for educational purposes with the goal of helping you learn and understand your consumer rights so the next time bill collectors call, you'll know what to do AND what to say to stop their harassment!
