Bullying: Unfair Debt Collection Tactics - DEBT COLLECTION IN AMERICA: LIES, THREATS AND ABUSE

Join Harold Cameron and his guest Attorney David Humphreys as they discuss an "new" form of bullying that has been going on since the invention of debt.

Debt collectors in the U.S. have been regulated by federal law since the mid 1970’s under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Surely enough time has passed that the rules for fair debt collection practices are understood and followed, right?

Some law professors and other commentators have suggested that the pendulum has swung too far. They argue that debt collection lawsuits are multiplying and unfairly burdening the legitimate debt collection by seeking statutory penalties and attorney fees for hyper technical violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Join Harold and his guest for an indepth discussion of the topics.
