What Are the Rules for Sending Someone to Collections? Verify the Debt. Confirm that the debt reflects what the customer owes. Provide Written Notice. Send the debtor a written notice of the debt. Follow State Laws. Respect Consumer Rights. Use Ethical Practices.
California's Fair Debt Collection Practices Act has long been a critical framework for protecting consumers from abusive or unfair debt collection practices. Recently, however, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law SB 1286 on September 24, 2024, expanding these protections to certain commercial debts.
For all delinquent debt sold or assigned on or after July 1, 2022, existing law requires a debt collector to which delinquent debt has been assigned to provide the debtor, upon the debtor's written request, a statement that includes specified information.
Specifically, the rule states that a debt collector cannot: Make more than seven calls within a seven-day period to a consumer regarding a specific debt. Call a consumer within seven days after having a telephone conversation about that debt.
The phrase in question is: “Please cease and desist all calls and contact with me, immediately.” These 11 words, when used correctly, can provide significant protection against aggressive debt collection practices.
Debt collectors may not be able to sue you to collect on old (time-barred) debts, but they may still try to collect on those debts. In California, there is generally a four-year limit for filing a lawsuit to collect a debt based on a written agreement.
