Can a collection agency refuse to take or sign a certified letter ?
Date: Mon, 10/19/2009 - 17:03
I received a collection letter from Zwicker & Associates. I promptly sent them a Debt Validation letter, certified mail with signature required.
Upon tracking at the post office web site, it shows that the post office left at "notice" of delivery. It appears that the Collection Agency did not take or sign for the certified letter. Can they do that ? What happens of they refuse to accept certified mail ? It was not a PO box that i sent this to.
I also sent a seperate Debt Validation letter to thier PO box that was on thier letterhead that was for "returned mail only" that one was signed for and accepted ? Can I consider that as delivered ? even though it was sent to a "returned mail, post office only" address for the agency ?

Are you sending it to there physical address or a PO BOX. When
Are you sending it to there physical address or a PO BOX. When I was in collections, a mail service signed for all of our PO BOX mail, so it is not the agency refusing. It should be addressed to their physical mailing addres.

The physical address is where I sent the Certified letter that was apparently refused and unsigned. But I also sent an express mail to the PO box that was signed for.
Im concerned about both. Can they refuse to accept and sign at the physical address, and at the PO box it was delivered and signed for,, is that good enough to consider delivered to the agency ?
