If the agency can't provide proof, you owe the money, by law, they must stop collection efforts. If you don't owe the bill, don't pay anything ? ever. Even if you're willing to pay cash so the agency will go away, it's not a good idea. Payment is considered an acknowledgment that you are responsible.

Harassment of the debtor by the creditor ? More than 40 percent of all reported FDCPA violations involved incessant phone calls in an attempt to harass the debtor.

Debt collectors have a legal obligation to send a debt validation letter and it's important for consumers to be aware of that. If you receive information over the phone, ask for it to be sent in a letter. Do not give payment or personal financial information until you confirm that the collector is legitimate.

Once you receive the validation information or notice from the debt collector during or after your initial communication with them, you have 30 days to dispute all or part of the debt, if you don't believe that you owe it. If you receive a validation notice, the end date of the 30-day period will be specified.

Ing to Michigan law, creditors have up to 6 years to collect debt, including obtaining a judgment on the debt. However, by getting a judgment, your creditor can pursue collections indefinitely as long as they renew the judgment every 10 years.
