Use this form to notify a debt collector they violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Receiving notice from a consumer makes it more likely a debt collector will comply with the FDCPA. If they don't comply after receiving notice, your notice letter may help prove that their actions were intentional.
A debt collector may not harass, oppress, or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt. This includes leaving telephone messages with neighbors or other 3rd parties when the debt collector knows the consumer's name and telephone number and could have contacted the consumer directly.
