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.
Misleading or deceptive conduct is when a business makes claims or representations that are likely to create a false impression in consumers as to the price, value or quality of goods or services on offer. This is against the law.
