    Debt collectors have noticed and decried the growing understanding of debtors about their rights to fair debt collection. Federal law in the form of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act regulates the conduct of third party collectors. Those protections apply everywhere and more and more attorneys are learning how to assert those rights on behalf of their clients.
    Californians have an expanded set of rights as debtors under the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Act: this law applies the rights created in the federal FDCPA to the original creditor as well as the third party collector.

    It's not a new law. Been in effect for some time just as the TFC and the WVCCPA.
