If a debt collector provides the validation information in writing or electronically, then, at the time that the debt collector calculates the validation period end date, the debt collector will know only the date on which the consumer is assumed to receive the validation information.

To dispute a debt, you must send a debt verification letter to the debt collector. These terms can be confusing, but think of a debt verification letter as your way of saying that you intend to dispute the debt. Debt collectors send debt validation letters; debt verification letters are sent in response to one.

If a debt collector provides a validation notice in the body of an email, the debt collector may, in lieu of including the disclosures permitted by § 1006.34(d)(3)(iv)(A) on the reverse of the validation notice, include them in the same communication below the content of the validation notice.

First things first: It's very important that you request verification by Certified Mail, not over the phone. That's because the law only requires debt collectors to pause their efforts if you send the notification by mail. So make sure you write your letter and send a real, physical letter snail mail by Certified Mail.

If you don't receive a validation notice within 10 days of the first contact, request one from the debt collector the next time you're contacted. Ask for the debt collector's mailing address at this time as well, in case you decide to request a debt verification letter.
