News & Notes

The Fair Credit Extension Uniformity Act regulates the debt collection activities of debt collectors and creditors in Pennsylvania. This law, effective as of June 26, 2000, prohibits debt collectors and creditors from engaging in certain unfair or deceptive acts or practices while attempting to collect debts.

The Fair Credit Extension Uniformity Act encompasses the federal debt collection statute, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and provides certain important restrictions on the conduct of debt collectors. More information on the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, including a summary of how more recent regulations interpreting the Act may impact consumers’ rights, can be found here.

Communications with Debtor
Unless they have your prior consent or the express permission of a court, debt collectors and creditors may not communicate with you:

Pennlive.com - The number of households on the waiting list for a public housing program in Dauphin County is staggering. More than 12,000 households are on the list, which means years of waiting, according to Leah Eppinger, executive director of the Housing Authority of the County of Dauphin. Being on the list doesn’t necessarily mean someone is living on the streets. They could be staying with friends or neighbors, in transitional housing or a shelter, or living in a place difficult for them to afford.

The authority has 725 units in 15 different locations in Dauphin County. (Harrisburg has a separate housing authority, so none of the county’s locations are in the city.)
Eppinger said the number of households on the waiting list is the highest it has been in years, and it keeps climbing.
