This will be a continuation of a 5 part series on what creditors can and cannnot do in collecting debts. Federal and Florida law provide protection from overagressive creditors. Again, Florida law practically imitates Federal law in this regard.

Q: If a debtor requests the information about the creditor or any other entity connected to the debt, must the creditor disclose this information?

A: Yes. Florida Statute 559.72(15) requests that creditors release such information.

Q: At what hours of the day can a creditor contact me?

A: Creditors cannot communicate with the debtor between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. of the debtor's timezone. Florida Statute 559.72(17)
