Consumer Advocacy
Debt Collection
Know Your Rights
When debt collectors call, it can be difficult, and sometimes impossible, to navigate repaying debts in a way that is financially sustainable and works for both the consumer and the collector. Often, this can be a result of debt collectors violating the law in how they approach a repayment plan, or a lack of information given to the consumer about how to best go about repayment.
In addition to advocating for clearer laws that result in financial health for communities and individuals, we have created educational materials to help individuals navigate the debt collection process. For more information, contact AKPIRG at info@akpirg.org.
