The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act prohibits all of the following debt collection activities:

• Harassing, oppressive or abusive conduct
• Repeated phone calls or calling at unreasonable times
• Continuing to contact you if the collector knows you have hired an attorney
• Contacting you at work despite the collector knowing you are not allowed to take calls of this nature while working
• Contacting employers, relatives, neighbors or any third party (other than your spouse) for information about the debt
• The use of threats (such as garnishing wages, referring your case to a lawyer, repossessing property or damaging your credit rating) without any intention of actually doing so
• The use of profane or obscene language
• Threatening you with violence
• Continuing to pursue the debt even though it has been properly disputed
• Sending phony documents or letters that appear to be from a court or government agency
• Trying to obtain collection fees, taxes or interest charges that exceed, or are not permitted by, your contract or state law
• Falsely representing herself/himself in order to collect the debt (such as using a fake name or claiming to be a lawyer)
• Suing you in a court that is located too far from your place of residence
• The use of false claims to gather information, such as stating that he or she is conducting a study or survey
• Contacting you despite the fact that you have notified the debt collector in writing to halt all communication
• Threatening to having you arrested or imprisoned
• Falsely representing the amount, legal status or character of your debt
• Requesting you to provide post-dated checks with the goal of prosecuting you if the checks bounce
