I have people calling me stating that they have a claim in their office for me but they never state what for. How come when collectors call they never leave messages or send anything via mail, if they want their money so bad.


I never pick up cause they call my cell when I am a work. If they leave a message then I may call back. Would it be wrong of me to tell them to send me something via mail but till then I am not going to pay anything. I don't even know what debt it may be.

Nicole-

Answer the phone, DON'T GIVE THEM ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION, just ask them who they are, what is the purpose of the call, and what is their address. Then hang up. Send them a DV letter. Until they respond to the validation request, I wouldn't pay them a thing. It is a violation of the FDCA if they continue to try to collect on a debt if they have not validated it.

I was able to find the letter and I would like to thank you very much, they call all the time and yet leave no information or it is just a recording. Sometimes they will call up to 5 times a day. What can I do about that?

In the DV letter you can state that they only contact you by mail. This will assure that you have everything in writing. By including a cease comm clause, if they continue to call you, they are breaking the law and you have grounds to sue THEM. These CA are ruthless, so it is best to put everything in writing. And remember, when you do talk with them, DON'T give them any personal info. Make them give you their name and address.

If the DV letter does not have a cease communication clause, by mail only, then look at a few other DV letters. I have seen plenty on this website so I know that you will be successful.
