CW15: Fight Back Against Debt Collector Harassment

For those who have fallen behind on their bills it is not surprise that their creditors begin calling to ask when they can expect payment. What does come as a shock is the despicable tactics many debt collector will use to try and separate you from your money.

On today’s show I discuss how you can know if a debt collector is violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and what you can do about it.  I specifically address:
