My advice is to get a seasoned professional on your side so there are no surprises and you can take advantage of all options out there.

The primary piece of Federal legislation that applies to bill collectors harassment is the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. In addition, consumers should also become familiar with state laws as well. Ultimately, it doesn't have to be complex, but some careful reading and deliberation may be the best approach.
