Since the inception of the Dodd‐Frank Act and the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (hereinafter “CFPB”), there has been much debate on what constitutes an abusive act or practice. One of the most paramount abusive debt collection practices is using an intimidating means of communication with customers. Such abusive language is determined by the natural consequence of the debt collector’s actions. The repetition of phone calls is also another factor taken into consideration when determining abusive conduct. The creation of the Dodd‐Frank Act was responsible for adding abusiveness, which works in conjunction with the unfairness and deception established in the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act(hereinafter “FDCPA”). This interplay creates an issue as to whether debt collection that was not enforced under the FDCPA could now be enforced under the Dodd‐Frank Act. This Article suggests that the CFPB adopt the standard of abusive debt collection practices used by the FDCPA and integrate it within the meaning of abusive practices in the Dodd‐ Frank Act.
