Debt

Everyone should try to pay debts that are legitimately owed, but sometimes consumers may be unable to do so because of job loss, unexpected medical bills, divorce or other issues. CFA supports the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and other laws and regulations that protect consumers from abusive, misleading and unfair debt collection tactics. CFA also supports measures to prevent fraud and abuse in the debt relief industry and promotes public awareness about legitimate sources of help for consumers who are in debt crisis.
