FAQ
The 11-word phrase often cited to stop debt collectors is: ``I do not acknowledge this debt and request verification of it.'' This phrase requests that the debt collector provide verification of the debt, which they are legally obligated to do under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) in the United States.
If you have a debt collection or eviction case, you can file your answer online with MyCase. You can use it to eFile and see what has been filed. If you can't log in to MyCase and are short on time to file your answer, use one of the forms below and file another way.
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.
Within five days after a debt collector first contacts you, it must send you a written notice, called a "validation notice," that tells you (1) the amount it thinks you owe, (2) the name of the creditor, and (3) how to dispute the debt in writing.
During the call you should never say it's your debt, your account, that you ever had an account, and any other personal financial information. Don't lie if they ask you point-blank questions; just don't answer them by reiterating the first paragraph... several times if necessary.
It's important to respond to (or answer) the lawsuit. You do this by filing official paperwork with the court. Be sure to address every point in the complaint, raise any defenses you have, and file the paperwork within the time frame provided.
In addition to filing the answer with the court, the defendant must deliver a copy of the answer to the other party (or their attorney, if they are represented by an attorney). The defendant can email, mail or hand deliver the answer. Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 5 governs the service of an answer.
In Utah, the statute of limitations for any signed written contract, obligation, or liability is six years. For unwritten (verbal) contracts, obligations, or liabilities, the statute of limitation for an unpaid debt expires after four years.
To verify a debt collector, ask them to provide: Their name. Company name. Company street address. Telephone number. Professional license number, if your state licenses debt collectors.
