| Fair Debt Collection Practices:
Finance Code Section 392.001 et seq. of the Texas Statutes governs debt collection practices in the State of Texas. These provisions generally mirror those prescribed under the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act under 15 U.S.C. §§ 1692-1692(o). Specifically, the statutes require debt collectors to provide written response to disputes by consumers within 30 days of receipt of written notice, and make corrections to inaccuracies within 5 business days, prohibits conducts which constitute threats or coercion, harassment, unfair or unconscionable means, fraudulent, deceptive or misleading representations, deceptive use of credit bureau name, and use of independent collectors. |
