FAQ

You can stop debt collectors from calling you at work fairly easily. Simply tell the debt collector that your employer doesn't want them calling your job or that you're not allowed to receive personal calls at work.

Among the insider tips, Ulzheimer shared with the audience was this: if you are being pursued by debt collectors, you can stop them from calling you ever again by telling them '11-word phrase'. This simple idea was later advertised as an '11-word phrase to stop debt collectors'.

This means that debt collectors cannot harass you in-person at your work. However, a debt collector, like a credit card company, may call you at work, though they can't reveal to your co-workers that they are debt collectors. If you ask the debt collector not to contact you at work, by law they must stop.

Your credit card debt, auto loans, medical bills, student loans, mortgage, and other household debts are covered under the FDCPA.

However, a debt collector, like a credit card company, may call you at work, though they can't reveal to your co-workers that they are debt collectors. If you ask the debt collector not to contact you at work, by law they must stop.

Debt collectors are generally allowed to call you at work, unless and until they have reason to know that your work forbids these kinds of calls. Under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), debt collectors can't call you work once they have this information.

It's not necessarily illegal for a debt collector to call you at work, but the FDCPA prohibits debt collection calls to your job if the debt collector "has reason to know" that your employer forbids those calls.

Deceptive And Unfair Practices Calling you collect so that you have to pay to accept the call is an example of an unfair practice. Engaging in any practice that forces you to pay additional money other than the debt you owe is considered an FDCPA violation.

A debt collector may call your employer once to verify your employment.
