What Is Considered Harassment?

Creditor harassment is when debt collectors use intimidating, abusive tactics in order to convince consumers to pay off their debt. A majority of creditor harassment happens over the phone, but nowadays it can also come via email or text. Others send threatening letters via mail or talk to friends or family about your debt.

Below are common examples of creditor harassment:

  • Using obscene, threatening language in communication.
  • Threatening to harm a person, their reputation, or damage their property.
  • Implying that no payment will result in an arrest
  • Pretending to be an attorney or police officer
