Thanks to the Internet, many people who are living under difficult debt are familiar with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). The FDCPA offers consumers a wide range of protections against many of the abusive and harassing techniques that debt collectors formerly, and in some instances continue to, employ. Some of the common prohibitions that people may be aware of include:
- Calling your work repeatedly
- Threatening you with arrest
- Using abusive language

A very positive aspect of living in West Virginia that few people are aware of is that we have our own protections against creditor harassment on the state level. Our West Virginia Consumer Credit Protection Act (WVCCPA) offers the residents of our state even greater protections than those available through the FDCPA.
