What it does
Existing law, the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, is intended to prohibit debt collectors from engaging in unfair or deceptive acts or practices in the collection of consumer debts and to require debtors to act fairly in entering into and honoring those debts. Existing law prohibits a debt collector from, among other things, collecting or attempting to collect a consumer debt by means of the use, or threat of use, of physical force or violence or any criminal means to cause harm to the person, or the reputation, or the property of any person.
