Below we will go over some laws that limit the actions of debt collectors.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) are laws that regulate the actions of debt collectors. We will be going further into details about each one.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a federal law that limits certain actions of debt collectors and it restricts the methods that debt collectors may contact you. Some types of limits set forth by this law include the time of day and the number of times that a collector is legally permitted to contact you.
If the FDCPA is violated, a lawsuit may be filed against the collection company as well as the individual debt collector. The plaintiff may be compensated for damages and attorneys fees, at the cost of the defendant(s).
Now that we have went over some information about the FDCPA, we will move on and go over some information about the FCRA below.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is a federal law that was passed in 1970 which is involved with regulating the collection of credit information and consumer rights for credit reports.
Some intended purposes of this law were to address privacy, fairness, and accuracy of personal information contained in files of credit reporting agencies.
Some of the things covered by the FCRA related to collection of consumer credit information includes how a consumer’s information is obtained, how long the information is kept, and who the information is shared with.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is a federal law that regulates the collection of consumers’ credit information and access to their credit reports. It was passed in 1970 to address the fairness, accuracy, and privacy of the personal information contained in the files of the credit reporting agencies.
By law, consumers are entitled to one free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major bureaus. You can request your credit report at the official government authorized website at AnnualCreditReport.com.
In case the credit bureau fails to respond to your request within a certain reasonable time, you can file a complaint with the Federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
