Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act
Florida has a great statute that protects people from collection attempts that do not comply with Florida law. The law can found here.
The law offers protection against abusive and harassing collection efforts as well as providing for notification and rights against collectors.
One of the most significant protections is that the law applies to all persons or companies that engage in collections here in Florida. The law also provides for attorney’s fees for the prevailing party so it is possible to find lawyers willing to represent debtors against creditors.
