Your rights with debt collectors
The federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act bars collectors from harassment, false threats and calls at unreasonable hours, and lets you demand written proof of a debt. Many states add their own rules. A consumer lawyer can tell you whether a collector broke the law, and these cases are often handled at no upfront cost because the law lets you recover attorney fees.

Source: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's public Consumer Complaint Database, loaded November 9, 2026. “Last 12 months” means complaints received since November 9, 2025. The CFPB publishes a complaint after the company responds or after 15 days. It doesn't verify every fact in a complaint, so a complaint isn't a finding that a company did anything wrong. Larger companies with more customers tend to get more complaints, and since 2023 a large share of filings have been credit-report disputes. Product categories are grouped from the CFPB's own, which have been renamed over the years.
