When a collection agency contacts you they need to send written notice within 5 days. Is that business days or calendar days?

When I read the FDCPA it just mentions 5 days, but maybe that has been interpreted as 5 business days?


With laws, they are to be interepreted as written. If the legislature intended 5 "business" days, they would have made sure to state that.

Although I'd be willing to bet that, if a CA took an extra two days to mail your letter to you, a judge would laugh if you tried to file an FDCPA complaint over it.
