In 1978, the United States enacted the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) to protect borrowers from creditor harassment. The FDCPA prohibits creditors from engaging in unscrupulous or abusive behavior when attempting to collect a debt. Florida debt collection laws add further protection to Florida residents and allows victims of creditor harassment to sue creditors in Florida State Courts. Under the Florida Commercial Collection Practices Act, a creditor found guilty of engaging in prohibited collection activities can be subjected to stiff penalties and be required to pay your attorney fees. If you are a victim of creditor harassment, contact Florida Law Advisers, P.A. for help. We will aggressively defend your rights and help put an end to the harassing phone calls and letters.

How to stop the phone calls
When a Chapter 13 or 7 case is filed an automatic stay is instantly put into effect. The automatic stay is a federal law which stops all collection activity, including phone calls and notices from creditors.
Wipe out late fees
If the debts are eligible for discharge, the entire balance can be wiped out. Therefore, late fees, penalties, and legal fees would all be removed under the discharge.
Accurate Credit Reports
Monitor your credit reports closely and report errors or accounts that require updating. The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows for every person to receive one free credit report every 12 months.
