If I send a letter by fax to the ca will it be valid at least while I can get it out by mail.

I really don't know, I sent mine certified and they got it real quickly.. I don't see if it will hurt but don't know how valid it would be.

It is hard to prove they got it. You do have the copy of the fax received, but I think for it to hold up in court it would have to be certified.

Just to add my small change.
The DV/C&D I sent to Il-Legal Mediation Mal-Practice was sent via fax, and the attorney that took my FDCPA violations case didn't bat an eye when I told him this. I couldn't really afford the over $5 a pop it takes to send a letter CM/RRR, so a fax at $.18 a page seemed a lot more manageable. This is also the reason I tend not to freak out at CA's if they ignore the first DV/C&D. I just fax another one along with a copy of the first one and the fax confirmation from that first one.
That usually gets my point across to them.
If they ignore the second one, that's when I tend to get a little hot and bothered.
Besides which, I'm sure if I faxed a CA some sort of signed payment agreement, it would be treated like gold and there would be no claim made they didn't receive it. I think they just have different priorities for the faxes they receive, which really isn't my problem it's an internal problem at the CA.
I am curious though. Has there ever been any opinions issued by courts as to whether faxes are admissible, or do they have to be by mail?

Ron - I know in my local area, a lot of the courts do send orders via fax as well as other legal matters and it's valid. But i really don't know in a case like this. It is expensive to send certified, it's a problem I have, too - and the reason I don't always get something out as fast as I should. Maybe faxing it (even as a filler until they get the certified one) isn't a bad idea..
