Are you being harassed by a debt collector? At Edelman, Combs, Latturner & Goodwin, LLC, in Chicago, Illinois, our experienced debtors' rights attorneys handle all types of creditor harassment claims. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was designed to protect consumers, like you, from overreaching actions on the part of debt collectors. It prohibits debt collectors from making misrepresentations, communicating with third parties, and verbally or in any other way harassing or abusing you by threatening unlawful or unintended actions or using obscene language. It also requires disclosure of information about debts.
