Earlier this month, a bipartisan amendment of mine passed the House as part of H.R. 2547, the Comprehensive Debt Collection Improvement Act.
This legislation gives protections for small businesses, servicemembers, students, and other consumers against mistreatment and harassment by certain debt collectors. My amendment asks for more investigation into the communications by debt collectors and how Congress can stop debt collectors from flooding consumers and homeowners with constant calls, texts, and emails.
