It ensures that debt collectors adhere to specific ethical and legal standards when pursuing debts. Since its inception in 1977 and through several amendments (most notably Public Law 111-203 in 2010), the FDCPA has played a pivotal role in safeguarding consumer rights while also clarifying debt collectors’ obligations.
