Maine Fair Debt Collection Practices Act

Maine’s separate state law on debt collection practices closely tracks the protections of the FDCPA. In addition, Maine law requires collectors within the state to pay a fee and obtain a license. In addition to the statutory and actual damages and attorney’s fees available to victims under federal law, debtors can also obtain damages and attorney’s fees under Maine’s own debt collection laws.

If you believe that a collector has behaved inappropriately while attempting to collect a debt from you in Maine, our attorneys can help you to determine whether the FDCPA or Maine law provides you with a legal remedy.

To learn more about the FDPCA, go to Federal Debt Collection Practices Act.

Maine Revised Statute, Title 32, Chapter 109-A.
