How a Dispute/Cease and Desist Letter Works Under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA)
- Sending a Letter Can Deter Collectors: A well-crafted dispute/cease and desist letter can discourage a collector from pursuing the debt further, especially if they lack proper documentation., which they often do.
- What Happens Next After They Receive Letter:
- The debt collector must stop contacting you until they provide written validation of the debt.
- If they can’t validate the debt, they can’t legally collect it.
- If they sell the debt to another agency, you’ll need to send a new letter to the new collector.
While there are no guarantees, it’s often worth trying—countless clients have found relief simply by taking this step.
Debt in Collections
Debts sold to third-party collectors still remain legally enforceable unless they are disputed or deemed invalid. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act requires third-party collectors to validate debts if requested. They must provide information proving the legitimacy of the debt, including the original creditor's details. However, consumers are not obligated to pay unless the debt is valid. The FDCPA also prohibits abusive practices, ensuring that third-party collectors adhere to lawful collection methods. Always review debt details before making payments.
Acceptable Communication
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, once a debt collector receives a written notice from a consumer requesting cessation of communication, the collector must comply, with three exceptions:
- To Confirm Compliance: The collector may notify you that they are ceasing all communication.
- To Notify About Potential Actions: The collector can inform you of possible remedies they are considering, such as legal proceedings, without committing to taking those actions.
- To Notify That a Specific Action Will Be Taken: The collector can communicate to inform you of a definitive action they are initiating, such as filing a lawsuit.
This distinction separates potential actions (notification of intent) from actual actions being pursued.
