In a debt harassment case, the plaintiff will be entitled to a number of damages, including compensation for loss of work, damage to credit and mental anguish (stress, anxiety, etc.). Additionally, he or she may be able to recover statutory damages, which can range up to $1000. If the jury finds the defendant's conduct particularly egregious, the plaintiff may also recover punitive damages, which are awarded to punish the defendant and deter others from engaging in similar conduct.
