FAQ
Within five days after a debt collector first contacts you, it must send you a written notice, called a "validation notice," that tells you (1) the amount it thinks you owe, (2) the name of the creditor, and (3) how to dispute the debt in writing.
Dear Creditor: Please provide me with verification of the debt which you state I owe. Please provide me with any records which are in your possession, including, but not limited to, all statements of each account, invoices, and any other documentation which I may have signed.
Debt collectors are allowed to contact you: In person, by mail, by telephone and by fax about the bills you owe. At home, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. At work. It is legal for debt collectors to contact you on the job unless they have a telephone number to reach you during non-working hours.
Unfortunately, my circumstances are unlikely to improve in the foreseeable future and I have no assets to sell to help clear my debt. I am therefore asking you to consider writing off my debt as I can see no way of ever repaying it. If you are unable to agree to this, please explain your reasons.
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.

I would be very grateful if you would consider writing off the outstanding debt owing. I have always taken my financial responsibilities very seriously but unfortunately, my circumstances are so bad that I cannot realistically maintain payments of any kind.
The phrase in question is: “Please cease and desist all calls and contact with me, immediately.” These 11 words, when used correctly, can provide significant protection against aggressive debt collection practices.
The statute of limitations on debt in North Carolina is three years, ing to N.C.G.S. § 1-52 (1). If your creditors want to sue you over unpaid debts, they have three years from when you defaulted on the debt .
Specifically, the rule states that a debt collector cannot: Make more than seven calls within a seven-day period to a consumer regarding a specific debt. Call a consumer within seven days after having a telephone conversation about that debt.
