Debt Collection Fees: Legal Rights and How to Challenge Them
Collection agencies routinely add fees, and the FDCPA limits when they may: § 1692f(1) prohibits collecting any amount — interest, fees, charges — unless expressly authorized by the agreement creating the debt or permitted by law. The response has a deadline. Under § 1692g, disputing in writing within thirty days of the collector's first communication requires the collector to cease collection until it mails verification. After thirty days that suspension can no longer be compelled. New York adds two quick checks: an agency collecting in New York City must be licensed by the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, and an unlicensed agency cannot enforce what it demands; General Business Law § 601 separately prohibits specified practices. A violation of the FDCPA carries actual damages, up to $1,000 statutory, and attorney's fees under § 1692k, within one year.
