Key takeawaysScammers use texts, calls, emails and letters to create a false sense of urgency about debt repayment. Always ask for detailed information about the debt and the debt collector’s contact details to confirm their authenticity. Get familiar with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) to know what practices are prohibited and how debt collectors can interact with you. Never share sensitive personal information with unverified debt collectors.

Some people may recommend asking for a pay-for-delete agreement if you have an unpaid account in collections.
