FAQ
If the FDCPA is violated, the debtor can sue the debt collection company as well as the individual debt collector for damages and attorney fees.
If you don't pay a collection agency, the agency will send the matter back to the original creditor unless the collection agency owns the debt. If the collection agency owns the debt, they may send the matter to another collection agency. Often, the collection agency or the original creditor will sue you.
If a debt collector violates the FDCPA, you may sue that collector in state or federal court. You can even sue in small claims court. You must do this within one year from the date on which the violation occurred.
Not being able to meet payment obligations can make anyone feel anxious and worried, but in most cases, you won't have to worry about serving jail time if you are unable to pay off your debts. You cannot be arrested or go to jail simply for being past-due on credit card debt or student loan debt, for instance.
Remember, debts that cannot be enforced are only protected from court action; the bad debt is still going on your credit report. If you want to settle the debt, you have to negotiate. If the collector cannot produce the agreement, you don't have to pay your dues.
One is to report them to the Financial Consumer Protection Department of the BSP (i.e. email consumeraffairs@bsp.gov.ph or call 632-708-7087). Be sure to document all communications with your debt collectors including text messages and e-mails. If you can, record your conversation with their consent.
Debt collectors cannot harass or abuse you. They cannot swear, threaten to illegally harm you or your property, threaten you with illegal actions, or falsely threaten you with actions they do not intend to take. They also cannot make repeated calls over a short period to annoy or harass you.
If a creditor waits too long to take court action, the debt will become 'unenforceable' or statute barred. This means the debt still exists but the law (statute) can be used to prevent (bar) the creditor from getting a court judgment or order to recover it.
No harassment The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) says debt collectors can't harass, oppress, or abuse you or anyone else they contact. Some examples of harassment are: Repetitious phone calls that are intended to annoy, abuse, or harass you or any person answering the phone. Obscene or profane language.
Yes, but the collector must first sue you to get a court order called a garnishment that says it can take money from your paycheck to pay your debts. A collector also can seek a court order to take money from your bank account.
