What Constitutes Unfair Debt Collection?
Unfair debt collection encompasses a range of practices that are deemed to be unethical or illegal.

Understanding what qualifies as unfair debt collection is critical for consumers. For more detailed information, visit our dedicated page on unfair debt collection.
Your Rights Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)
The FDCPA is a federal law that sets out a variety of protections for consumers. This includes restrictions on the time of day debt collectors can contact you, prohibiting them from discussing your debt with third parties, and requiring them to cease communication upon request. Our team at Martin & Bontrager, APC provides comprehensive guidance on how the FDCPA protects you. Learn more about your rights under the FDCPA here.
California’s Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
In addition to federal laws, California has its own set of regulations known as the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. This act extends the protections of the FDCPA to include original creditors, not just third-party collectors. As experts in California law, our attorneys are well-versed in leveraging the Rosenthal Act to defend your rights.
