Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act 1990 (FDCPA), Title XXXVI of the Criminal Control Act of 1990, Pub. L. No. 101-647, 104 Stat. 4789, 4933 (November 29, 1990), is United States federal law passed in 1990, affecting the collection of money paid to the United States government. FDCPA precedes state recovery laws in most cases.
This law is codified in Chapter 176 of Title 28 of the United States Code, in four sub-chapters:
- SUBCHAPTER A - DEFINITION AND GENERAL CONDITIONS (Ã,§Ã,§ 3001-3015)
- SUBCHAPTER B - PREJUDGMENT REMEDIES (Ã,§Ã,§ 3101-3105)
- SUBCHAPTER C - IMPROVING POSTJUDGMENT (Ã,§Ã,§ 3201-3206)
- SUBCHAPTER D - TRANSFER FRAUDULENT INVESTING DEBTS (Ã,§Ã,§ 3301-3308)
The provisions of the Act state that a person or organization indebted to the United States, to whom it has filed a claim, is not eligible for government grants, including disaster loans.
Non-compliance, depending on the severity and frequency, can be punished by fines or even incarceration. FDCPA also allows the federal government to recover fraudulently transferred money.
The Federal Debt Collection Procedure Act of 1990 consists of sections 3601 to 3631 of the 1990 Criminal Control Act.
