Outlaw,
Your letter is FABULOUS, strong, professional, clear and to the point. Thanks so much for sharing this as a template for others. I know how hard it is to create something like this from scratch, and I'm not a half-bad writer
There's one minor correction I'd make before sending it out. Take out the "that" that I bolded in the quote below.
"Be advised that I will not hesitate to report violations of the law to my State Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission and the national Better Business Bureau. I am fully aware of my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act and
that I will not hesitate to take all legal steps necessary to protect myself."
So, if I'm careful and kind, can I contribute by editing/proofreading this kind of thing for for the community here? (Actually, that's how I'm earning what little income I have at the moment, so I have some skill to offer.) I'm not nearly as expert in debt matters as many other members, but I can help polish up letters that demand to be taken seriously.
Best and Happy Holidays to all.
I'm very happy and grateful that I found this community.
