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.
