So, there has been a number of complaints against Takhar Group collection services, accusing them of collecting debts that are not only paid off, but are also fake! But how do you know if they are collecting a valid debt? Check out the section below to learn how you can find out whether the debt they are trying to collect is valid.
The FDCPA allows you to ask for a validation of the debt the CA is trying to collect from you. You need to send the collection agency a debt validation letter within 30 days of the first time they call you. The CA can collect the debt only if they can validate it with proper documentation. If they cannot provide proper documentation, the debt will be considered as invalid.
Many collection agencies do not have any evidence to validate the debt. They often have only the most basic information about you and the amount of the debt. Thus, they tend to send you false documents for validation. They may send you a simple paper with "validation of debt" written on it or a computer generated form that looks like a billing statement. But this does not qualify as proper validation. The CA should provide you with documentation from the original creditor. A proper validation should include a copy of original agreement signed between you and the creditor, a copy of account statements or payment history from the original creditor, etc.
The CA should also provide you with details of the amount you owe in interest, fees, etc. and let you know how these fees and charges are calculated. You should not acknowledge that you owe the debt until the CA validates it properly. If you start paying them before they validate, it will be considered as an acknowledgement that you owe the debt or it may restart the Statute of Limitations (SOL) on the debt.

This is one of the numbers that calls all the time: 1-877-466-5701
I told him to stop calling because they aren't even calling for anyone in my household just some random name...so I called that number back and give them a piece of my mind.
