Include your name, address, and account number associated with the debt. Clearly state your intention to verify the debt and request all relevant information and documentation.

While smaller debts are less likely to result in legal action, there are no guarantees. In many cases, though, debt collectors will prioritize larger debts, as they offer a higher return on the time and legal fees associated with a lawsuit.

If you don't respond within the 10 days after a credit reporting agency requests a notarized dispute letter, the CRA will likely close the dispute without further investigation. This means the disputed information may remain on your credit report as originally reported.
Dear Creditor: Please provide me with verification of the debt which you state I owe. Please provide me with any records which are in your possession, including, but not limited to, all statements of each account, invoices, and any other documentation which I may have signed.
Include your full name, company name, and mailing address. Address the letter to your client by their full name. State the problem: Specify and provide proof of the debt in question. Reference the original contract or agreement that states the services the client owes you for.
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.
