Do Debt Collectors Have to Notify Me of My Rights?

Under federal law debt collectors are required to notify you of specific rights that you are entitled to. These include that they inform you that this is an attempt to collect a debt. They’re also required to state that any information to obtain in connection with their communications with you may be acquired to collect such debts. Finally, they’re also required to say that this is a communication from a debt collector. Their failure to make any of these disclosures or warnings is a violation of the law.
