The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), 15 U.S.C. § 1692 was enacted in 1977 to provide uniform standards for the treatment of consumers when collecting past-due accounts. The Act has successfully safeguarded the rights of consumers, and provided a regulatory framework for the third-party debt collection industry for more than 25 years. It is sometimes used in conjunction with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA).
