Unlawful Debt Harassment? Learn the Law & Sue the Collector.
Absolutely. You can sue a debt collector.
A complainant explains that on the 25th of each month, they had an automatic payment set up which would be paid before the 28th. After a number of these payments were received, the complainant claimed that they started getting phone calls and letters saying that they weren’t paying. The complainant then chose to send printouts from the collections company’s own site, as well as statements from their bank showing payments were made in full and on time. The collections company only responded by saying: “If you make your payments on time you won’t get letters and calls.” The complainant claims that they had made their payments on time and are appalled that this collections company has reported them to credit agencies.
If you find that this debt collector is calling or harassing you, familiarize yourself with The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which outlines a person’s protections against the abuses and misconduct of collection agencies. You can find your FDCPA rights listed on the Federal Trade Commission’s website under, “Debt Collection FAQs”. It is important that if you find that a collections company violated your rights that you contact an attorney to receive aid and legal protection of your assets and rights. Additionally, The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the Consumer Financial Protection Act (CFPA) provide consumers with supplementary protection outside of the FDCPA.
Yes you are able to sue. The wisest course of action would be to sue if you believe your FDCPA, TCPA or CFPA rights have been violated. Suing is the correct process to take when your legal rights have been breached. Because federal laws protect citizens like you from these fraudulent practices, you should choose to award yourself the ability to defend your rights and receive compensation by suing if you feel as though these rights have been violated. Individuals like you can recover damages of up to $1,000, plus attorney fees and court costs.
