Protection from Debt Collectors and Debt Buyers

With the increase in the outsourcing of debt to unscrupulous collection agencies, having an attorney to protect your interests has become important.   Collection Agencies and debt buying companies buy bad debt for pennies on the dollar after which they often begin an aggressive and, in many cases, illegal collection process that violates state and federal collection laws.

Consumers have valuable rights that are violated every day by collection agencies and debt buying companies.  Often we hear details of repeated phone calls at work or at the home of relatives, threats of legal actions or wage garnishment and even threats of jail time from these companies.   All of these activities are illegal under the protections afforded to consumers through the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act (CCPA).  Unless they understand these rights, consumers are at a clear disadvantage when dealing with these companies.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a federal law that sets limits on what debt collectors can do in attempting to get you to pay a debt. The FDCPA prevents debt collectors from talking to third parties about your debt, calling you at work, and engaging in other tactics designed to harass, abuse, or mislead you into paying a debt.  It is important to note that the FDCPA only applies to debt collectors and third party debt buyers—it does not cover collection activities performed by an original creditor. 

Florida residents are provided additional protection, however, through the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act (CCPA.   The CCPA supplements the protections provided by the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.   The CCPA prohibits both debt collectors and creditors from using certain types of abusive, deceptive, and misleading debt collection tactics.  

Exampled of Prohibited Practices in Florida include:

Violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) provides monetary remedies for consumers of up to $1,000 from the creditors.  

Debt collectors get away with operating in these illegal and unscrupulous ways because many consumers are not aware of their legal rights or how to enforce them.    A knowledgeable consumer debt attorney can defend your rights and can often reduce or eliminate the debt altogether.   We can also assist you to recover monetary damages for violations when appropriate If you have been threatened by a debt collector, or have a collection agency attempting to collect a debt from you, please contact my office at 888-510-1255
