Regulation F allows emails and text messages to be sent with direct consent given by the consumer to the debt collector and indirect consent passed along by a creditor or previous debt collector who obtained direct consent.

If a credit bureau has made a mistake on your report ? if you don't recognize the account or a paid account shows as unpaid, for example ? gather documentation supporting your case. Then, file a dispute by using the credit bureau's online process, by phone or by mail. The bureau has 30 days to respond.

A debt collector may not commence a collection action more than 6 years after the date of the consumer's last activity on the debt. This limitations period applies notwithstanding any other applicable statute of limitations, unless a shorter limitations period is provided under the laws of this State.

Dispute in writing, and include any evidence that supports your claims (such as copies of cancelled checks showing you paid the debt or a police report in the case of identity theft). If the debt collector knows that you don't owe the money, it should not try to collect the debt.

You'll need to dispute it with any credit reporting agency that's showing it on your credit report. The collections account information is correct, but you've made steps to remedy the situation. In this case, you can write a goodwill letter or pay for delete letter to ask for the account to be removed.
