Some Debt Collection Practices are Unfair and Against the Law.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a well-known piece of federal legislation that's designed to protect consumers from unlawful debt collection practices. Some states have also enacted similar or supplementary legislation that extends consumer protection (such as the Rosenthal Act Fair Debt Collection Practices Act in California).
Here's a list of some of your rights:
