FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA )is a consumer protection amendment to the Consumer Credit Protection Act. It establishes legal protection from abusive debt collection practices. The primary purposes of the act are to eliminate abusive practices in the collection of consumer debts, to promote fair debt collection and to provide consumers with a way of disputing and obtaining validation of debt information in order to ensure the information’s accuracy. The act also creates guidelines under which debt collectors may conduct business; it defines rights of consumers involved with debt collectors and prescribes penalties and remedies for violations of the Act.
