Is a debt validation letter a good idea?

Legally, a debt collector must mail out a debt validation letter within five days of their first contact with you. If they don't, you should ask for one. Why? Because it helps you know if the debt is actually yours or if they're trying to pull a fast one on you.

Does a debt validation letter need to be notarized?

To further establish as evidence the date and fact that you sent the debt collector a DV letter, it's a good idea to have someone else mail your DV letter along with an "Affidavit of Mailing". This signed and notarized affidavit by a third party will firmly establish your evidence of mailing the DV letter.
