FAQ
I would be very grateful if you would consider writing off the outstanding debt owing. I have always taken my financial responsibilities very seriously but unfortunately, my circumstances are so bad that I cannot realistically maintain payments of any kind.
Yes it does actually work. Collectors rarely actually validate the debt because most of the debts in fact are not valid. Some just back off because receiving a well worded debt validation letter means you have consulted the FDCPA (or at least a good debt/credit forum) and know what you're doing.
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.
These letters often include details like the amount owed, the due date, and any applicable interest or late fees. It's important to note that debt collection letters should adhere to legal regulations and guidelines, such as those outlined by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) in the United States.
Whenever someone tries to collect a debt, ask for all of their company's information, including: The collector's full name. Company name. Company address. Company phone number. Company website address. Company email.
Good practice Creditors should consider writing off unsecured debts when mental health conditions are long-term, hold out little likelihood of improvement, and are such that it is highly unlikely that the person in debt would be able repay their outstanding debts.
Even if that's the case, it's important not to ignore letters or communications from DRP. Tempting as it is, ignoring your debt problems won't make them go away. The longer you ignore your debts, the worse they get, especially if the creditor begins to apply interest fees and charges.
Individuals are eligible for debt relief if they meet the following criteria: Illinois residents. Household income at or below 400% of federal poverty level. (For 2024, this amounts to an annual income of up to $60,240 for a one-person household and up to $124,800 for a family of four)
