Collection harassment is a term used to describe the illegal actions of banks and debt collectors. Generally, the following actions are considered collection harassment: calling a consumer numerous times in a day; contacting neighbors, bosses or co-workers regarding an individual's debt; and collecting money not actually owed by the debtor. More obvious examples of collection harassment are threats of violence, arrest or seizure of residential property. The definition of collection harassment is ever-changing, however, as debt collectors continue to find new ways to harass consumers who owe outstanding debts.
