Your rights in South Carolina
Collection agencies rely on fear and intimidation. Here is the exact consumer rights you hold over them right now.
Federal protection — 15 U.S.C. § 1692c(b)
Collectors may only contact third parties to obtain location information — and may not reveal that you owe a debt, even to family members.
South Carolina adds: South Carolina Consumer Protection Code, S.C. Code § 37-5-108
Civil penalties plus attorney's fees under the SCCPC. State remedies stack on top of federal FDCPA damages.
The $1,000 penalty box
$1,000 federal statutory damages per consumer, plus invasion of privacy claims under state law in most jurisdictions.
Evidence to lock in your case
Get a written or recorded statement from the family member or friend describing exactly what the collector said and on what date.
Crucial rule: Once you send an official written Cease & Desist notice, the collector is legally banned from contacting you again — except to confirm they are stopping or to take you to court. If they call you one more time after receiving this letter, you have an open-and-shut lawsuit.
