If you get too far behind on your bills, you will probably start getting calls, emails, letters, or even texts from your debt collector. But can debt collectors come to your house if you get too far behind on your bills? Federal and state law says yes, debt collectors can legally show up to your house, but they must follow specific rules if they choose to do so. This situation is uncommon, but it does happen.

Maybe you’re drowning in debt from medical bills and maxed out credit cards and now you’re experiencing debt collectors calling you at work. This may raise the question: can a debt collector call you at work? The short answer is yes, but only if you allow the debt collector to do so. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) protects consumers from harassment and other abusive debt collection practices.
