Debt Collectors and Harassment Complaints

Law Tram’s Debt and Bankruptcy Consultation simplifies the process by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to your situation. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

Are Debt Collectors Contacting You Too Often or Threatening You?

Debt collectors in Australia must follow strict rules. They are allowed to contact you, but they must treat you fairly, respectfully and within the limits of the law. If a debt collector is calling you excessively, threatening legal action, contacting your family or workplace, or using aggressive tactics, you may be experiencing unlawful harassment.

You do not have to tolerate this. Legal protections exist under the Australian Consumer Law, the ASIC Debt Collection Guidelines and the Privacy Act. A lawyer can help you stop the harassment, make a complaint and understand your legal options.

Law Tram connects you with lawyers who are experienced in dealing with debt collector conduct and protecting your rights.

They called my boss and told them I owed money. The lawyer sent a letter and they never contacted me again.
