I have a couple credit cards that were sold 2 years ago. I have not been contacted by the CA yet and they havnt marked my credit report yet.

The only reason i know they are with a CA is because I called the credit card company.

Should I go ahead and send a DV letter to the companies that my debt were sold to or wait until they attempt to contact me?

I am kind of nervous about this because I fear they would file litigation and say "well, we didnt contact him and the only way he could have known about the debt was to contact his OC about said debt and thus acknowledges it"

Are CAs that smart?


if you have an address it can't hurt to be proactive here.

I have to disagree with Paul on this rare occasion! I believe it is best to let sleeping dogs lie. This could go past the SOL if not brought to the forefront. I would wait until contact is made before sending a debt validation letter. Who is the collection agency? I may be able to tell you what to expect from them or maybe someone else will.

Oh my gosh, Unifund is underhanded !! I wouldn't contact them until you receive a letter with your mini miranda rights, then you can request validation, just make sure you do it within the 30 day window. I agree with Frog, I am dealing with those Bozo's right now, and they are ruthless, they charge unlawful interest, and will badger you to death, if you let them !!
