Here’s What You Can Do To Get Debt Collectors to Stop Calling You.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) gives you the right to force a debt collector to stop communicating with you. You can send a written request to stop all communications with you (commonly referred to as a “cease and desist letter“). Upon receipt, the debt collector must stop communicating with you except only to tell you it is ending all communications, or to alert you that it has filed a lawsuit against you for the debt.
