Debt Collector Calls on Your Cell Phone
Written by David Long on August 25, 2010 – 12:00 amNo one wants to be contacted by a debt collectors, especially not on your cell phone while you’re caught in evening traffic. But, debt collectors can legally contact you on your cell phone if your credit application lists your cell phone number as a contact number for you. Though cell phone contact is enforced by the Federal Communications Commission, rules of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission) still apply. For example, debt collectors can’t call before 8am or after 9pm your time. You can stop debt collector calls by sending a cease and desist letter.
