What protections do Florida consumers have against debt collectors?
Florida’s Consumer Collection Practices Act adds state-level protections on top of the federal FDCPA. Collectors cannot harass, threaten, or contact consumers at unreasonable times. Violations can result in actual damages plus $1,000 in statutory damages per violation.
Can creditors garnish wages in Florida?
