FTC Policy Statement Regarding Collection of Decedents’ Debts, 76 Fed. Reg. 44915 (July 27, 2011)
The FTC has learned that, to recover on a decedent’s debts, some debt collectors contact the decedent’s relatives, although these relatives may have no authority to pay the debts from the decedent’s estate and no legal obligation to pay the debts from their own assets. By contacting persons who are not specified in Section 805 of the FDCPA, and by engaging in practices that may deceive those persons about their obligations, these debt collectors may be violating the FDCPA.The FTC will forebear from enforcing Section 805(b) of the FDCPA, 15 U.S.C.
Elimination of Guides Against Debt Collection Deception, 60 Fed. Reg. 40263 (Aug. 8, 1995)
Because the Commission’s Guides Against Debt Collection Deception have been superseded by, and submitted in, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the Commission has determined that it is in the public interest to eliminate them. The Guides were adopted in 1967 to codify the results of many debt collection cases brought by the Commission against debt collectors and creditors under Section 5(a)(1) of the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTCA).
