A debt collector CANNOT:
❌ Tell your family members about your debt
❌ Repeatedly call your relatives to harass or pressure them
❌ Lie or mislead your family about their reason for calling
❌ Threaten your relatives to get you to pay
❌ Keep calling after they have already confirmed your contact information
What Should You Do If a Debt Collector Contacts Your Family Unlawfully?
1️⃣ Tell your family members NOT to share information and to ask for the debt collector’s name and company.
2️⃣ Send a written request to the debt collector instructing them to stop.
3️⃣ Keep records of all calls and messages.
4️⃣ Report violations to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) or your state’s attorney general.
5️⃣ Contact a consumer protection attorney to take legal action.
