RE: Cease Communication Request - Account #[ACCOUNT NUMBER]

Dear Sir/Madam:

I am writing to formally demand that you cease all collection activity and communication regarding the alleged debt on account number [ACCOUNT NUMBER].

Under Section 805(c) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, I have the right to request that you stop sending communications to me. Upon receipt of this letter, you must:

This is my formal request. The only exceptions under which you may contact me are:

  • To notify me of specific actions such as filing a lawsuit

Any further attempts to contact me will be considered harassment in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and I will pursue legal remedies.

Please confirm receipt of this letter in writing.

Sincerely,
