Debt Collectors Calling Your Work or Family
Collectors shouldn’t call your job or involve your family in your debt. You have rights, and we help enforce them.
Can Debt Collectors Call You at Work?
They generally can’t contact you at work if your employer doesn’t allow personal calls.
They must stop calling your job once you tell them not to contact you there.
They can’t reveal your debt to your employer or coworkers under any circumstance.
They can only reach out to your workplace to confirm your basic contact information.
Can Debt Collectors Call Your Family?
They can’t reveal your debt to your relatives under any circumstance.
They’re allowed to make just one call to identify your basic information.
They must stop contacting your family if they know how to reach you.
They can’t identify themselves as a debt collector when calling a family member.
Can You Sue a Debt Collector for Calling Your Work or Family?
Yes — the FDCPA lets you take action when collectors improperly contact your employer or relatives.
We handle the entire process. From documenting the violations to filing your claim, we ensure your rights are protected at every step.
You may recover up to $1,000 in statutory damages. Actual losses and emotional distress can also be compensable.
You pay nothing unless we win. The FDCPA requires the collector to cover your attorney’s fees.
No more calls to your job or family members. Once we take your case, collectors must go through us.
