FAQ
Under the Fair Debt collection Practices Act (FDCPA), I have the right to request validation of the debt you say I owe you. I am requesting proof that I am indeed the party you are asking to pay this debt, and there is some contractual obligation that is binding on me to pay this debt.
This is important: You have just 30 days to respond to a debt validation letter. If you don't dispute the debt within 30 days, the debt is assumed valid. That means the debt collector can continue to contact you. You can send a dispute after 30 days.
Documentation that you owed the debt at some point, such as a contract you signed. How much you owe and the last outstanding action on the debt, which can be shown by documents such as the last statement or bill.
In other words, you only have the right to request verification of your debt from companies or law firms collecting the debt or which have purchased the debt from the original creditor. A collector's duty to verify a debt only kicks in if you send a specific, written request for verification.
That if you dispute the debt in writing within 30 days the debt collector will provide verification of the debt. That if you request the name and address of the original creditor within 30 days, if different from the current creditor, the debt collector will provide you that information.
The amount of debt owed. The name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed. A statement of notice that the debt will be considered valid by the debt collector unless the consumer disputes it within 30 days of notice.
It's a violation of the collection practices act for a debt collector to refuse to send a validation notice or fail to respond to your verification letter. If you encounter such behavior, you can file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
You have the right to force the debt collector to prove you owe the money. Debt validation is your federal right granted under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). To request debt validation, you must send a written request to the debt collector within 30 days of being contacted by the collection agency.
A debt validation letter can be an effective tool for dealing with debt collectors.
