Know your rights dealing with creditors
By Shawncle Surplus

Tis the season if you're like
many Americans, as much as it
is the season for family, friends
and festivities, it is the season
for adding to your debt load. In
fact, all year long (not just dur
ing the holidays) the average
American family spends $1.22
for every dollar he or she earns.
Of course, it's impossible to
spend more than you earn -unless
you borrow in order to
spend it. And boy do Americans
borrow. In 2002, in fact, the
average American household
owed $8,000 in credit cards.
College students are just as bad.
They carry an average of three
credit cards with a total debt of
over $8,000. At an annual in

"Once we have a meeting
with everybody, we'll take a look

As those houses become va
cant, Clements said the next step
would be to appeal to Tribal
Council to allow those houses
to be demolished and converted
into retail units. He said part of
the process would include in
volving consultants from Bend
and Redmond.

your head, the law determines
how a creditor may try to col
lect a debt, whether by letter or
phone call. Unlawful debt col
lection practices would include
the use of obscene or abusive
language. The creditor cannot
call your employer about the
debt or call you at your place
of work if you have notified the
creditor not to. The creditor may
call you at work only after he
or she has in good faith, but
unsuccessfully, tried calling you
at home during the day or be
tween 6 a.m. and 9 p.m.
A creditor can write to you
at work only if your home ad
dress is not available. In either
case, the creditor may contact
you at work only once a week.
According to federal law, you
may prevent a collection agency
from calling or writing to you
by notifying the agency in writ
ing that you want to stop all fur
ther communication with them.
You should keep copies of any
such communication. (This ar
