subject: Some More Details About Debt Collection [print this page] Most of the time it happens that we forget or not able to keep the record of our debts. And we get to see such scenario like If you're behind in paying your bills, or a creditor's records mistakenly make it appear that you are, a debt collector may be contacting you. And there where the scenario of debt collection starts. So to avoid such embrassing situation the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which is a consumer protection agency, enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), that prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices for doing debt collection. If you read the agency's defining term of debt collection then will come to know that under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts owed to others which is in short known as debt collection. And usually debt collection agencies lawyers used to collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them.
You should know or try to share the information about debt collection provided in Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) . You might have tons of questions related to debt collection to ask. But first of all needed to know what types of debts should be covered. Debt collection covers personal, family, and household debts, including money you owe on a personal credit card account, an auto loan, a medical bill, and your mortgage as per the act. Moreover the FDCPA doesn't cover debts you incurred to run a business depending on the type of cases. Now the most important question which you will like to know can the debt collector contact me at anytime or any place for debt collection. Then being a educated citizen should know that 'no' not at all. For doing debt collection a debt collector cannot contact you at inconvenient times or places, like before 8 in the morning or after 9 at night, unless you don't agree to it. Even certain scenarios like the collector cannot contact you at work if they're told (orally or in writing) that you're not allowed to get calls there.
So being a educated citizen of the nation should be aware of such acts related to debt collection to over come harassment involved in that, and make your life more secured.
