Cawley & Bergman Phone Harassment – Understanding Debt Collection Harassment
Debt collection harassment can take many forms and often involves behavior that is meant to intimidate, pressure, or unfairly coerce a debtor into paying a debt. Some common examples of debt collection harassment include:
- Repeated and Unwanted Calls: If a debt collector is calling you multiple times a day or at odd hours, this could be considered harassment.
- Threats and Intimidation: Threatening violence, harm, or legal action that they cannot legally take is a clear violation of the FDCPA.
- Using Profane or Abusive Language: Debt collectors are prohibited from using obscene or abusive language in their communications.
- Contacting You at Work: Unless you have given permission, or it is allowed by your employer, debt collectors are generally not allowed to contact you at work.
- Calling After You’ve Asked Them to Stop: If you request in writing that the debt collector stop contacting you, they must comply. They may only contact you to inform you of specific actions they intend to take, such as filing a lawsuit.
- Misrepresenting the Amount Owed: Debt collectors cannot lie about the amount of debt you owe.
- False Representation: Pretending to be law enforcement, an attorney, or another official entity is illegal.
