Preliminary Statement : Fair Debt Collections Practice Act As amended by Public Law 111-203, title X, 124 Stat. 2092 ( 2010 ) The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) ( 15 USC 1692 et seq. ), which became effective in XX/XX/XXXX, was designed to eliminate abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices. It also protects reputable debt collectors from unfair competition and encourages consistent state action to protect consumers The FDCPA applies only to the collection of debt incurred by a consumer primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. It does not apply to the collection of corporate debt or debt owed for business or agricultural purposes. 

The FDCPA defines a debt collector as any person who regularly collects, or attempts to collect, consumer debts for another person or institution or uses some name other than its own when collecting its own consumer debts. 

A debt collector may not communicate with a consumer at any unusual time ( generally before XXXX XX/XX/XXXX or afterXX/XX/XXXX in the consumers time zone ) or at any place that is inconvenient to the consumer, unless the consumer or a court of competent jurisdiction has given permission for such contacts.

For communications with a consumer or third party in connection with the collection of a debt, the term consumer is defined to include the borrowers spouse, parent ( if the borrower is a minor ), guardian, executor, or administrator. If, within the thirty-day period, the consumer disputes in writing any portion of the debt or requests the name and address of the original creditor, the collector must stop all collection efforts until he or she mails the consumer a copy of a judgment or verification of the debt, or the name and address of the original creditor, as applicable.

The Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) is the primary enforcement agency for the FDCPA.

Action against debt collectors for violations of the FDCPA may be brought in any appropriate U.S. district court or other court of competent jurisdiction. The consumer has XX/XX/XXXXyear from the date on which the violation occurred to start such an action.

The FDCPA preempts state law only to the extent that a state law is inconsistent with the FDCPA. A state law that is more protective of the consumer is not considered inconsistent with the FDCPA.

A debt collector who fails to comply with any provision of the FDCPA is liable for Any actual damages sustained as a result of that failure Punitive damages as allowed by the court : In an individual action, up to {$1000.00} In a class action, up to {$1000.00} for each named plaintiff and an award to be divided among all members of the class of an amount up to {$500000.00} or XXXX percent of the debt collectors net worth, whichever is less Costs and a reasonable attorneys fee in any such action In determining punitive damages, the court must consider the nature, frequency, and persistency of the violations and the extent to which they were intentional. In a class action, the court must also consider the resources of the debt collector and the number of persons adversely affected.
