The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) prohibits harassment or abuse in collecting a debt. The FDCPA applies only to those who regularly engage in the business of collecting debts for others -- primarily to collection agencies. The Act does not apply when a creditor attempts to collect debts owed to it by directly contacting the debtors. It applies only to the collection of consumer debts and does not apply to the collection of commercial debts. Consumer debts are debts for personal, home, or family purposes. The collector is restricted in the type of contact he can make with the debtor.
This form is a generic complaint and adopts the "notice pleadings" format of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which have been adopted by most states in one form or another. This form is for illustrative purposes only. Local laws should be consulted to determine any specific requirements for such a form in a particular jurisdiction.
A District of Columbia Complaint by Debtor For Posting of Notices of Indebtedness in and Around Plaintiff's House can involve various scenarios that result in intentional infliction of mental anguish and potential violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FD CPA). Here are a few possible types of complaints that can arise: 1. Case 1: Persistent and Harassing Notice Posting: In this scenario, the debtor alleges that the creditor continuously and persistently posts notices of indebtedness on or around the plaintiff's house, causing significant mental distress.
