FAQ
I respectfully request that you forgive my alleged debt, as my condition precludes any employment, and my current and future income does not support any debt repayment. Please respond to my request in writing to the address below at your earliest convenience. Thank-you in advance for your understanding of my situation.
Some brief guidelines, letters should: Be addressed to 'Dear You' Written in the first person e.g. 'I felt that...' Be up to 1,000 words in length, preferably less. Be supportive and give comfort to the person reading the letter. Use your first name or a pseudonym to end the letter.
Maryland is a consumer-friendly state. The statute of limitations allows a creditor three years to collect on debts. That's a shorter timeframe than many states.
If you do not respond, you will lose certain rights, but it is not a legal admission, usable in court, that you owe the debt. If there is no response, or if the letter goes back to the collection agency undelivered or marked moved, deceased, in jail, etc., the collection agency can still due you.
Even if that's the case, it's important not to ignore letters or communications from DRP. Tempting as it is, ignoring your debt problems won't make them go away. The longer you ignore your debts, the worse they get, especially if the creditor begins to apply interest fees and charges.
If you've received a letter of claim Use the reply form to: say you disagree you owe the debt. tell your creditor you're getting debt advice and have an appointment - say you'll need longer than 30 days. ask for more information from your creditor - for example, an account statement or copy of the credit agreement.
Subtract deductions; disposable earnings = $232.00. 30 x $7.25 (minimum wage) = $217.50. $232.00 - $217.50 = $14.50. Amount that can be garnished: $14.50 each week.
Explain Your Financial Situation In the letter, briefly explain why you cannot continue with the garnishment. For example, mention if you've experienced financial hardship, job loss, or medical emergencies. Attach any documents, like medical bills or unemployment notices, that support your claim.
