The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a federal law that provides guidelines and restrictions for debt collectors in how they communicate with consumers. The FDCPA prohibits debt collectors from harassing or abusing consumers and from contacting them at their workplace if they have been instructed not to. Therefore, Melissa could potentially use the FDCPA to stop the debt collectors from harassing her at work.
