→Debt collectors
Sometimes the person you owe money to has turned the debt over to a debt collection agency. There are laws that protect debtors from what a debt collector can do. For example, there are strict limits on contacting your family or your employer, and you have a right to tell a collector to stop phoning you altogether.
For more information about debt collectors, <span class="noglossary">contact</span> the Credit Counseling Society online at Consumer Protection BC [http://www.nomoredebts.org www.nomoredebtsconsumerprotectionbc.orgca] or toll-free at 1-888-527-8999. Find more helpful information and links in the "[[Sources of Help for Consumers]]" section.
