The economy has opened up many people’s eyes to just how fragile our finances can be. Things such as debt collection laws were foreign to many people. Now they are something that more and more people are becoming aware of. People that had a solid income and savings have suddenly found themselves in financial situations that they never thought they would be faced with. Whether it be decreased income or job loss you are not alone. More bills then income can send anyone scrambling to make payments. There are laws in place meant to protect victims of the economy from debt collectors. There are rules that companies have to abide by when collecting on debts. They are not allowed to harass the people they are collecting from with repeat phone calls or calls made at any time of day or night. They can not tell others the reasons for their calls or use abusive language. They can not falsely identify themselves or threaten you. These are only a few of the laws that are there to protect people from harassment from collectors. Many people that have become victims of debt collection abuse request a case review that is free so they can be protected from unfair debt collection practices.
