Debt Collection Information

This brochure talks about your options as a consumer when debt or debt collection becomes too much to handle.

Nearly all of the 2 to 3% of the households who are behind on their bills were current until they faced a sudden blow to their wallets. Such blows include job loss, illness or other setbacks. Sometimes it is tempting to give in to the daily appeals in their mailbox to borrow, borrow, borrow.

To help consumers, the feds and states have laws to stop abuse, deceit and unfair practices by debt collectors.

Find out more in the brochure below.
