The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA) is a law that states the practices of how a debt collection agent is supposed to behave. The FDCPA makes it illegal for debt collection agents to use abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices when collecting on a debt. The FDCPA was set up to protect consumers from the abusive tactics of debt collection agents. Below is a link to more information on the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA).
The following types of debt are covered under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act:
- Medical Bills
- Credit Card
- Mortgage
- Auto Loans
- Student Loans
- Household Debts
Any debt occurred for business purposes are not covered under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act.
Understanding the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA
Here are the FDCPA outlines that enforce debt collection practices. If the FDCPA is found violated by Recovery Management Solutions, it can result in consumer harassment.
- Debt collectors must identify themselves when they contact a consumer.
- It is illegal for a debt collector to misrepresent their identity.
- Consumers have their rights, which include disputing the debt itself. Debt collectors must communicate this to consumers.
- A debt collector cannot contact consumers before 8 AM or after 9 PM.
- Debt Collectors cannot threaten consumers with potential legal action or tell the consumer they will be sent to prison. Using abusive language is also prohibited.
- Debt collectors cannot leave details of the debt with anybody other than the consumer. It is also illegal to make the debt public.
These outlines do not just to protect consumers, they also provide consumers the option to verify and validate their debt. Outlines of the FDCPA are punishable by monetary compensation if violated.
