Can you file a charge for harrasment if bill collectors come to your job constantly?

Answer 1

Assuming the bill collectors are a third party and not the original debt, send them a certified letter to each bill collector that you are requesting all further communication shall be by mail only no phone calls, no showing up a your place,

if after they get the letter they violate the mail only you can report them to state under credit fair reporting act

Answer 2

Yes, However there are certain things you have to do first, Like tell them or have your boss tell them not to bother you at work, there are several laws that protect the consumers from strong arm debt collection practices, problem is most citizens do not know these laws exsist, you need to get a copy of the fair Debt collection act, it explains all the do's and dont's and what collectors are allowed to do and what is phrohibited, in many cases if this act is broken your debt will be dismissed and you can even collect trebble damages...hope this helps ) i have enclosed a insert from the act pertainin to your question along with the link COMMUNICATION WITH THE CONSUMER GENERALLY. Without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector or the express permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, a debt collector may not communicate with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt -- at the consumer's place of employment if the debt collector knows or has reason to know that the consumer's employer prohibits the consumer from receiving such communication

Answer 3

Yes. You would likely file a claim under the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act (FDCPA) and make claims for harassment an additional claim (along with many other things I'm sure your attorney could come up with). I'd talk to an attorney.

Answer 4

There are hard and fast laws stating what bill collectors are not allowed to do. Harassing someone is against the law. Tell this person he is banned from showing up at your work place, your home or contacting you by phone. If his behavior persists, talk to someone in legal aide.

Answer 5

Yes because they shouldn't call you at your job. That is harassment!

Answer 6

yes, hire a good lawyer.
