NFAN worked with a caring team of debt industry professionals to develop HelpForDebtors.com. They realized that the more you know, the more able you are to recognize and put a stop to abusive debt collection practices. Use the information provided on this site to learn about federal and state laws and to share your questions, experiences and feelings with others who are going through similar experiences.

HelpForDebtors.com includes information on arbitration, wage garnishment, statues of limitations and the importance of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA), a federal law designed to protect consumers against abusive and deceptive debt collection practices. HelpForDebtors.com provides a summary on each state’s consumer protection laws that supplement the FDCPA. Each state-specific page also provides helpful links to resources for that state. These resources include the state’s court system website, attorney general’s office website and online state legislation resources, when applicable.
