Title
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act protections
Definition
This category concerns protections that a person might have from abusive debt collection practices, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). This covers protections for credit card debt, auto loans, medical bills, student loans, mortgages, and household debts -- but not business debts. This limits the time and place that debt collectors can contact a person, or ways to stop contact.
