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.
