Welcome to RegulationRoom and thank you for your suggestions, Steevo. The federal law ban on unfair, deceptive and abusive practices covers not only debt collectors, but also “service providers” and others who “knowingly or recklessly provide substantial assistance” to collectors. You can comment about what behavior by third parties you think new federal rules should deal with in subsection 5, below. Since some of your suggestions relate to collection phone calls, you may be interested in the topic on Questions about phones & mobile phones in debt collection.
