Louisiana has not enacted a separate State law that is substantially different from the FDCPA, although the state’s law does provide a few basic protections consistent with the FDCPA. It does not appear, however, that Louisiana residents can file a private lawsuit to enforce the provisions of the state’s law. Thus, Louisiana residents faced with abusive or harassing collection tactics will receive the most protection and benefit from the FDCPA.
If you believe that a collector has behaved inappropriately while attempting to collect a debt from you in Louisiana, our attorneys can help you to determine whether the FDCPA provides you with a legal remedy.
