Among other things, the Act seeks 'to eliminate abusive debt collection practices by debt collectors [and] to insure that those debt collectors who refrain from using abusive debt collection practices are not competitively disadvantaged.' Id. 1692(e). To effectuate these purposes, Congress proscribed the use of 'any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt' and provided a list of sixteen examples of such prohibited conduct. Id. 1692e. These include making 'false representation[s]' about 'the character, amount, or legal status of any debt,' id. 1692e(2)(A), and 'threat[ening] to take any action that cannot legally be taken or that is not intended to be taken,' id. 1692e(5).
