But this does not apply to the original creditor, just debt collector or CA, right? What happens if the creditor is not following these rules? Who should I report them to?

Original creditors are exempt.Look at your state laws.Another place to look is fair credit reporting act.This law governs how they report on your credit bureaus.

You are welcome, cajun

The technical problem in the website is keeping me very busy for the moment. I am sorry that I didn't post earlier that your topic is included in the special topics of the "Dealing with Collection Agency" forum.

Thanks for your hard work

Regards
Mike
