Debt Collection Harassment Is Illegal
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act prohibits creditors and debt collection companies from using illegal behaviors to try to collect unpaid debt. Illegal behaviors include harassment, threats and even calling debtors too early or too late in the day is illegal.
What is considered creditor harassment? Here are some of the most common ways creditors harass debtors:
- Calling debtors all the time and using abusive or harassing behaviors
- Using profane or obscene language
- Making threats against debtors
- Failing to tell debtors that they are creditors
- Disclosing personal information about debtors to third parties
- Lying about debt owed
- Making threats to have the debtor arrested
You do not have to put up with harassment any longer. Our local law firm in Fayetteville has helped people in Cumberland County and throughout North Carolina stop harassment and explore their bankruptcy options.

Is Foreclosure Being Threatened?
Chapter 13 bankruptcy will stop all debt collection, including foreclosure actions, once you file for bankruptcy protection. In addition to stopping foreclosure, Chapter 13 bankruptcy will help you create a repayment plan that helps pay off your debt and can even result in your debt being discharged after five years.
