What to Do Right Now

1

Know what collectors can and cannot do

The FDCPA prohibits harassment, false statements, and unfair practices. Collectors cannot call repeatedly, use profane language, threaten violence, misrepresent the debt amount, or contact third parties about your debt.

2

Send a written cease-and-desist letter

A written request to stop contact legally requires the collector to stop — except to notify you of specific actions. Send it via certified mail. Use ProSeAI to generate a proper cease-and-desist letter.

3

Sue the collector for FDCPA violations

If a collector violates the FDCPA, you can sue in federal or state court for $1,000 per violation plus actual damages and attorney fees. Many attorneys take these cases on contingency. ProSeAI can help you document violations and draft your complaint.
