Consumer Guide - When Does A Debt Collector Violate The FDCPA By Calling Third Parties?

Here is a new consumer guide that helps explain the violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) when collectors (as they routinely do) call third parties.

We answer these questions in this short guide:

What is a third party?

What can a collector ask of a third party?

What are some examples of illegal things collectors ask third parties?

If a collector breaks the law in calling a third party, what can I do?
