Draw On Legal Montana Fair Debt Credit Forms For Free

If you are struggling with debt and debt collectors, Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC can help. As soon as you use the 11-word phrase ?please cease and desist all calls and contact with me immediately? to stop the harassment, call us for a free consultation about what you can do to resolve your debt problems for good.

This letter shows you the details of a specific debt, outlines what you owe, who you owe it to, and when they need you to pay. Legally, a debt collector has to send you a debt verification letter within five days of their first contact with you.

If you notify the debt collector in writing that you dispute the debt within 30 days of receiving a validation notice, the debt collector must stop trying to collect the debt until they've provided you with verification in response to your dispute.

Don't pay, don't promise to pay and don't give any payment information the collector may use later. Ask for information on the debt and say you'll call back to discuss it later. Making a single payment ? even just $5 or $10 ? is an acknowledgment of the debt and can have serious repercussions.

Detail the debt amount: State the dollar amount of debt owed, the original date that this amount was due, and any other fees or interest accrued. If there are multiple amounts, include the total amount due. Provide context: Outline events in chronological order. Provide as much detail and context as possible.

You have the right to send what's referred to as a ?drop dead letter. '' It's a cease-and-desist motion that will prevent the collector from contacting you again about the debt. Be aware that you still owe the money, and you can be sued for the debt.
