Specifically, the rule states that a debt collector cannot: Make more than seven calls within a seven-day period to a consumer regarding a specific debt. Call a consumer within seven days after having a telephone conversation about that debt.
I am writing in response to the settlement offer you presented on Settlement Offer Date, related to claim number Claim Number for the incident that occurred on Incident Date. After careful consideration, I must reject this offer as it does not meet my needs based on the severity and ongoing nature of my injuries.

This letter should state: That you will not accept the initial settlement offer; The reasons why you feel you deserve a higher settlement amount; Each of their low-offer reasons, and your responses; The higher settlement amount that you will accept.
