: Alabama Consumer BlogConsumer Guide - Three Types Of Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) Violations
By M. Stan Herring
Here is a recent consumer guide I wrote which describes the three broad categories of FDCPA violations:
1. Lying to consumers;
2. Unfair conduct towards consumers; and
3. Treating consumers with a lack of respect or lack of dignity.
We have a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on the FDCPA which you are welcome to review.
If you have further questions or concerns, feel free to contact us through our website or by calling 205-879-2447.
You can join our Facebook Fan Page - Alabama Consumer Protection Attorneys where we share useful information about the same types of issues that we cover in this blog.
You can also sign up for our free email newsletter sent out every Thursday morning - we cover topics such as the one in this post. We would love to include you! Just fill out the form below:
