Your rights with debt collectors
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act a collector must send you a validation notice with the amount and the creditor, and if you dispute the debt in writing within 30 days it must stop collecting until it verifies it. Collectors cannot harass you, lie, threaten arrest, or call at unusual times, and you can tell them in writing to stop contacting you.
General information, not legal advice; rules vary by state. Plain-English guides
Complaint records are public consumer complaints filed with U.S. regulators, checked (newest received Nov 15, 2026). Complaints are consumers' own accounts and are not verified; counts grow with a company's size. How the data works
