How to File an FDCPA Complaint Against a Debt Collector — Step by Step

Steps customized for Kentucky law, phone & telecom debt rules, and Credit Corp Solutions's collection patterns.

1

Identify the specific violations

Common FDCPA violations: calling outside 8am-9pm hours, using profane language, threatening arrest, misrepresenting the debt amount, contacting your employer after being told to stop, or continuing collection after a written dispute.

2

Gather documentation

Collect: call logs with dates and times, voicemail recordings, letters received, certified mail tracking numbers and green cards, and any written communication. The more documentation, the stronger your complaint.

3

File with the CFPB

Go to consumerfinance.gov/complaint. Choose 'Debt collection' as the category. Be specific about dates and violations. CFPB forwards complaints to the collector who must respond within 15 days. Collectors take CFPB complaints seriously.

4

File with your state attorney general

Many states have their own debt collection laws with additional protections. Your state AG can take enforcement action. File at your state's AG consumer protection division website.

5

Consider filing a private lawsuit

FDCPA allows you to sue in federal court within one year of the violation for $1,000 per violation plus actual damages plus attorney fees. Many consumer rights attorneys take these on contingency — you pay nothing upfront.
