The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) prohibits harassment or abuse in collecting a debt. The FDCPA applies only to those who regularly engage in the business of collecting debts for others -- primarily to collection agencies. The Act does not apply when a creditor attempts to collect debts owed to it by directly contacting the debtors. It applies only to the collection of consumer debts and does not apply to the collection of commercial debts. Consumer debts are debts for personal, home, or family purposes. The collector is restricted in the type of contact he can make with the debtor.

This complaint addresses the intentional infliction of mental anguish caused by the intrusive posting of notices, which also potentially violates the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. This article will delve into the different types of Kansas complaints related to the posting of notices of indebtedness and their potential effects on debtors. 1. Kansas Complaint by Debtor for Posting of Notices of Indebtedness: This type of complaint highlights the debtor's distress caused by the continuous posting of notices of indebtedness in and around their residence without their consent. It emphasizes the violation of privacy rights, emotional distress, and the intrusion upon their daily life. By filing this complaint, debtors aim to hold responsible parties accountable and seek appropriate compensation for the harm caused. 2. Intentional Infliction of Mental Anguish: In cases where the posting of notices of indebtedness deliberately causes significant emotional distress, debtors may file a separate complaint to address the intentional infliction of mental anguish. This complaint asserts that the actions of creditors or collection agencies, by intentionally targeting the debtor's residence with multiple notices, have caused severe emotional distress, anxiety, and mental suffering. 3. Violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act: The Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act sets clear guidelines and regulations regarding debt collection practices. When the posting of notices of indebtedness infringes upon the debtor's rights under this federal law, a separate complaint can be filed. Debtors accuse creditors or collection agencies of engaging in unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices by subjecting them to public displays of indebtedness, causing embarrassment and humiliation. Conclusion: Debtors in Kansas who have endured the distressing act of posting notices of indebtedness near their homes have legal options available to address this violation. By filing appropriate complaints, debtors seek justice for the intentional infliction of mental anguish caused by intrusive postings, while also potentially challenging violations of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
