Anonymous Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Hi all, I've been reading up on debt collection practices, and have found that debt collectors cannot contact you at work, if you notify them in writing. But what of original creditors such as Chase and capital one (such as in my case)? Unfortunately, as far as I could see, there's nothing mentioned about original creditors not being allowed to call and harass you every day at work. Is there any way which I can force them to stop contacting me at work? I would appreciate any info., thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymous Posted June 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Depends on your state. Under FDCPA (federal version) original creditors can more or less do what they wish. Attorneys have made me understand that you can get them for this conduct under invasion of privacy and similar claims.In my state (California), creditors can be sued under the Rosenthal act which closely follows the Federal FDCPA statute.

calawyer Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cacodes/civ/1788-1788.3.htmlSee 1788.2 for the definition of "debt collector" which includes an original creditor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
