Consumers who are being harassed by debt collectors have legal rights and can take steps to help protect these rights. First, if you are being harassed, inform the debt collector that you are aware of your rights and that the harassment must stop. Next, write down the following information about the debt collector: their name; their supervisor's name; their phone number; their company's address; and their company's name. It's also important to keep a debt collection call log and record any harassing statements made by the creditor.
