The Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act protects consumers against the bullying tactics that were once stock-in-trade practices of collection agencies. If you feel you are being unduly pressured. Or are you actually being harassed by a bill collector, the FDCPA offers a simple way to put a stop to it. All you have to do is send the bill collection agency a letter saying that that you will not or cannot pay the debt and you want the agency to leave you alone. Send the letter by certified mail, return receipt requested, so you can be sure the agency receives it. Once you have done this, by law the collection agency may not contact you again, except to say that collection efforts have ended or that some legal action is being taken against you. If a collection agency continues to badger you after you have sent the letter, be sure to keep notes about the offending contacts. Then you should notify your state attorney general’s office you may have a legal case against the collection agency.
