You must fill out an Answer, serve the other side's attorney, and file your Answer form with the court within 30 days. If you don't, the creditor can ask for a default. If there's a default, the court won't let you file an Answer and can decide the case without you.
Yes it does actually work. Collectors rarely actually validate the debt because most of the debts in fact are not valid. Some just back off because receiving a well worded debt validation letter means you have consulted the FDCPA (or at least a good debt/credit forum) and know what you're doing.
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.
If you don't believe you owe the debt, you can dispute it with the debt collector and the credit reporting company. If you dispute the debt in writing within 30 days of receiving information about the debt from the collector, then the debt collector must send you verification of the debt.
I am writing in regards to the above-referenced debt to inform you that I am disputing this debt. Please verify the debt as required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I am disputing this debt because I do not owe it. Because I am disputing this debt, you should not report it to the credit reporting agencies.
Yes you can sue a company for wrongfully sending you to collections. Wrong is wrong, It doesn't matter who committed the wrong. I suggest you consult an attorney ASAP.
Steps to Dispute Wrongful Debts Send a dispute letter to the debt collector. File a dispute with the credit reporting agencies. Request that the debt collectors stop contacting you. If they continue, file a complaint with the CFPB and FTC. Keep records of all communication with the debt collector.
They've mistaken you for another person. The simple solution is to call the collector and fax or mail them something like a copy of your driver's license (with the social redacted) to show that you do live at that address but you are NOT the debtor. Inconvenient, annoying, unnecessary... Yes.
