North Carolina has laws that protect consumers from debt collectors, creditors, or collection agencies who mischaracterize the status of a debt, including in lawsuits. The North Carolina Collection Agency Act, the North Carolina Debt Collection Act, and the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act all protect debtors from actions like false lawsuits and provide stiff penalties to the collectors for misstating the status of the debt. If the corporation trying to collect violates one of the North Carolina state laws, they can be subjected to thousands of dollars in statutory penalties
