When And How Can Debt Collectors Contact You?

October 1, 2007

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act a collector may contact you in person, by mail, telephone, telegram or fax. A debt collector may not contact you at inconvenient times or places (usually before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m.) unless you agree. A debt collector also may not contact you at work if the collector knows that you are not allowed to receive such calls at work.
