Debt collectors could soon be making a comeback.
Delinquent consumers could get phone calls up to seven times a week,
and an unlimited number of texts and emails from debt collectors under
the rule proposed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau released
this week, making it the first major update in more than 40 years.
The new proposal states that once a debt collector speaks to a
consumer, however, they’re not allowed to call again for a week. There
is no limit to how many emails or text messages they can send under the
proposed rule. Consumers will have to opt out or unsubscribe to texts
and emails.
