COMMON VIOLATIONS

Common Violations Across Consumer Laws

  • Calls made without consent

    Automated calls or texts sent without proper authorization violate consumer protection laws and can result in statutory damages per violation.

  • Ignoring 'STOP' requests

    Continued contact after a consumer requests to stop may constitute a violation, even if initial consent was given.

  • Credit report errors not corrected

    Inaccurate information that is not corrected after a proper dispute can lead to legal claims, especially if it affects employment or housing.

  • Harassment or threats

    Debt collectors using abusive language, threatening behavior, or calling repeatedly violate federal law and consumer protection standards.

  • Mixed credit files

    When credit bureaus mix your information with another person's file, this creates errors that must be corrected or can lead to legal action.

  • Contacting third parties

    Debt collectors discussing your debt with family, employers, or neighbors without permission violates consumer protection laws.
