Creditor Harassment Is Illegal
Repeated calls and intimidating letters from creditors are common problems for people struggling with debt. Of course, such behavior rarely succeeds in getting debts fully repaid; it is more likely to only make people in debt feel stressed, overwhelmed, and frightened. Unfortunately, many victims of creditor harassment are unaware that this poor treatment is illegal and can be stopped.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)
FDCPA is a federal law that protects people in debt from unnecessary bullying tactics from creditors of all kinds. Under the law, it is illegal for creditors to:
- Share your financial information with your employer, neighbors, or the general public
- Use vulgar or abusive language when speaking to you
- Make any direct or implied threats to your wellbeing
- Call you multiple times in a row or more often than necessary
- Refuse to identify themselves, or provide misleading information about their identities
Unfortunately, putting an end to these unlawful actions is sometimes more difficult than it should be. If you have been a victim of abusive tactics from creditors, our Arizona creditor harassment lawyers can help you determine what to do next.
