Description

Use this form to notify a debt collector they violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).

A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of a debt. This includes:

Falsely representing or implying that the consumer committed any crime or other conduct in order to disgrace the consumer.
