An Act Prohibiting Unfair Debt Collection Practices, Providing Penalties Therefor and for Other Purposes
The proposed Anti‑Unfair Debt Collection Practices Act would ban abusive tactics—such as threats, harassment, public shaming, false statements, and contacting borrowers at odd hours—by financing and lending companies or their hired collectors, require those companies to keep borrower data private, disclose any third‑party collectors to regulators and the public, and impose fines that increase up to revoking the company’s license for repeated violations.
