For Consumers-
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) requires that debt collectors treat you fairly. Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts of others, such as a collection agency. It covers personal, family, and household debts, including credit card bills, auto loans, medica...l bills, and mortgages. It prevents debt collectors from calling you at odd hours, calling your workplace, using false statements, or engaging in other unfair practices. The collector must provide you with a "validation notice" telling you how much you owe, the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don't think you owe the money.
Both Colorado and the Federal Government have enacted their own FDCPA. So you may report any problems with debt collectors to the Colorado Attorney General's office and the Federal Trade Commission. The following links provide more information:
