Know Your FDCPA Rights

Debt collectors cannot threaten legal action they don't intend to take, call before 8 AM or after 9 PM, or contact you at work if you've told them not to. If a collector violates the FDCPA, you may be entitled to $1,000 in statutory damages plus attorney fees. The statute of limitations in Texas is 4 years for most consumer debts — after which collectors cannot sue to collect.
