(Archive) Stop Debt Collectors from Taking NYers’ Stimulus Funds

The NYS Legislature has just passed a critical bill that prohibits debt collectors from taking New Yorkers’ stimulus payments. The bill will ensure that relief funds actually provide relief—not windfalls for the debt collection industry. 

Take Action! Urge Governor Cuomo to sign this bill into law, to protect New Yorkers from financial predation and ensure a just recovery.

1. Call Gov. Cuomo at 518-474-8390 and urge him to sign S5923A/A6617A.
