We truly hope that you are never in the situation where you are forced to deal with a debt collector ... but as this financial crisis has gotten even more serious, more and more people are struggling to keep up with their bills. This is an incredibly stressful situation, made much worse by aggressive and sometimes unethical debt collectors.
If you are dealing with debt collectors, we want you to know your rights. Debt collectors have a job to do, but that doesn't mean they legally can harass or intimidate you. Here's how to fight back.
