Federal Trade Commission Staff Commentary on the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act

This Commentary is the vehicle by which the staff of the Federal Trade Commission

publishes its interpretations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). It is a guideline

intended to clarify the staff interpretations of the statute, but does not have the force or effect of

statutory provisions. It is not a formal trade regulation rule or advisory opinion of the Commission,

and thus is not binding on the Commission or the public.
