Can Debt Collectors Follow You To Facebook?

If you have unpaid bills and you use social media, beware!

Debt collectors have recently been found using Facebook to harass debtors and their families and friends, in potential violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

This practice has already led to at least one lawsuit, and may be stopped by future legislation. In the meantime, it shows how far debt collectors will go when unchecked. What is next, Tweets about you and your debt? Mean comments on your YouTube videos or personal blog?
