LAWDOG is intended to assist in the understanding of basic concepts. See Disclaimer. Always obtain legal advice from legal professionals.
Restrictions On Calls To Consumer At Place of Employment
Without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector, or the express permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, a debt collector may not communicate with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt at the consumer's place of employment if the debt collector knows or has reason to know that the consumer's employer prohibits the consumer from receiving such communication. See Section 805 (a) (3) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act reproduced here for illustration purposes only.
"I Can't Take Calls At Work"
A portion the FTC Official Staff Commentary for the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act reproduced here for illustration purposes only, includes the following: "A debt collector may not call the consumer at work if he has reason to know the employer forbids such communication (e.g., if the consumer has so informed the debt collector)."
See other restrictions from Previous Menu.
