What it does
The Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act prohibits debt collectors from engaging in certain unlawful acts or practices, including using, or threatening the use of, physical force or violence, using obscene or profane language, and making false representations. The act also requires a debt collector to cease collection activities, until completion of a specified review, when an alleged debtor provides certain information to show that the debtor is a victim of an identity theft crime.
