While it may be impossible to describe every type of abuse I have highlighted some of the easy ones to identify. If a collection agency has done any of these things to you make sure you report them.

Here is a list found at MyFairDebt

You can report most collection agency harassment right online. It is best if you have the dates and times and know exactly what they said or did.

To report them for harassment it does not matter if they broke the law. All that matters is that you were uncomfortable with how they treated you.
