About Debt Collection:

  • What is a debt collector?
    Under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, in general, a debt collector is a person or a company that regularly collects debts owed to others, usually when those debts are past due.
  • What should I do if contacted by a debt collector?
    Respond as soon as possible. If you do not respond, the collection agency will continue to try to make contact with you to collect what is believed to be a valid debt.
  • When can a debt collector call me?
    The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act assumes convenient times to contact you to be after 8:00am and before 9:00pm in your time zone. A debt collector is allowed to contact you any day of the week. Sundays and holidays included, unless you tell them not to. You must state verbally or in writing that you do not want to be contacted on a particular day of the week, a particular holiday or between a certain period.
  • Can a collection agency call me at work?
    Yes, unless the debt collector knows or has reason to know that your employer prohibits you from receiving such communications. If you are prohibited from being contacted at work, inform the debt collector and provide an alternate telephone number where you may be contacted to discuss the account.
  • I would like to dispute the accuracy of the bill. What can I do?
    Send the collection agency a written notice of dispute. If you notify the debt collector of your dispute or request verification of debt within 30 days of receiving the validation notice, the collection agency must stop all communications with you. They may resume contact with you once the verification of the debt is obtained and mailed to you.
  • What is a validation notice?
    You will receive your initial notice of the debt. This is commonly called the validation notice. The following is what is required to be sent to you within five days of the debt collectors first contact: * Amount of the debt * Name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed * Notification that you have 30 days to dispute the debt or the debt will be assumed valid * The debt collector must provide written verification of the debt, including name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor.
  • Can I be sued if I fail to pay a debt?
    Yes, a civil lawsuit may be filed against you in the state where you reside if you fail to pay a debt. If you fail to answer the lawsuit then a default judgment may be entered against you. Once the judgment is obtained against you, you may also be liable for court costs and attorney fees. You should consult with an attorney if you are sued.
  • Can my bank account be garnished to collect a debt?
    When a judgment has been obtained, the creditor can request the court to issue a garnishment writ. They can garnish your bank accounts, savings accounts, as well any non-exempt personal property of yours held by a third party. If sued, consult with an attorney.
  • Can my wages be garnished to collect a debt?
    Wages can be garnished to pay court-ordered child support, spousal maintenance, defaulted student loans, unpaid taxes and other debts. Federal and state laws offer some protections for certain sources of income.
