What You Need to Know About Debt Collection Statutes

Because of the abusive practices collectors were using in attempting to collect debts from consumers, both the FDCPA and the TCPA were enacted by Congress to protect the rights of debtors against creditors who were using unreasonable means to collect debts. The FDCPA regulates how creditors may collect from creditors and creates a cause of action for debtors against creditors if they violate those statutory rights. The TCPA creates rules of conduct for telephone communications between consumers and solicitors/creditors. 

The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA)

The FDCPA provides safeguards to debtors against bad collection practices and prohibits the following conduct by creditors that is considered “abusive and deceptive”:

  • Calling outside of 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. local time for the consumer
  • Failure to comply with a written request to cease calling the consumer
  • Causing a telephone to ring in a harassing manner
  • Communicating with a consumer at their place of employment after advising not to
  • Threatening criminal prosecution, among others

Debtors who suffer from harassment by creditors may be able to get relief under the FDCPA.

The Telephone Collections Practices Act (TCPA)

The TCPA (Telephone Collections Practices Act) was enacted into Federal law in 1991. While there is some overlap with FDCPA, TCPA primarily focuses on telephone communications with consumers. TCPA is a broader law in that it applies to telephone solicitations and is not limited to the collection of consumer debt. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has the responsibility of enforcement of the TCPA. If you are receiving harassing calls, let us help you get relief from the FCC.

TCPA provides for the following rights to consumers:

  • Prohibits calling outside of 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. local time for consumer
  • Requires that solicitors maintain a Do-Not-Call list when requested by the consumer
  • Requires participation in the National Do-Not-Call Registry
  • Prohibits solicitations to residences with automated dialers and recorded messaging
  • Requires solicitors to provide their name, organization, phone number, and address
