While there are laws that strictly outline the type of behavior that is acceptable from debt collectors, it is unfortunate to note that these laws are not always abided by. In fact, many debt collectors outright ignore them, partaking in illicit and abusive behavior in their attempts to collect. If you can answer "yes" to any of the following questions, you are likely being abused by a harassing creditor - and it's time to get legal assistance from an experienced New York debt collection harassment attorney.
If you have been the victim of collection harassment you may be entitled to sue the debt collector and receive compensation. Federal and New York State law protects consumers against unfair, deceptive, and abusive debt collection practices. The primary law that protects consumers is the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA). This law protects consumers from being harassed or mislead by debt collectors.
The FDCPA allows consumers to sue debt collectors for deceptive or abusive conduct.

They will often tell you that they have relationships with all the credit card companies (and debt collectors) and that for a small fee they will be able to get you good settlements with the people you owe money to.
