→Further restrictions on collectors
In addition to these rules specifically for debt collectors, [https://www.canlii.org/en/bc/laws/stat/sbc-2004-c-2/latest/sbc-2004-c-2.html#sec124_smooth section 124] of the Act says that collectors cannot use practices that are prohibited by any other part of the Act or its regulations.
Consumer Protection BC publishes information in the “[https://www.consumerprotectionbc.ca/consumer-help/debt-collection/ "Debt Collection” Collection" section] of its website further explaining what collectors can’t do. For example, a debt collector:
* must not publish or threaten to publish details of the debt except to a credit reporting agency
* must not use threatening, profane or intimidating language
