Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Debt Collector's Name], I am writing to you in reference to a debt allegedly owed, as I have recently become aware of my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FD CPA). As a resident of the state of Missouri, I would like to ensure that you adhere to all applicable laws and regulations while collecting any outstanding debts. According to the FD CPA, debt collectors are required to provide me with certain information regarding the alleged debt. I kindly request that you furnish the following details: — The amount of the debt claimed, including any interest or fees that have been added. — The name and contact information of the original creditor. — Verification or copies of any relevant documents that support your claim, such as a signed agreement or contract. Furthermore, I want to inform you that I dispute the validity and accuracy of this debt until you provide me with the requested information as required by law. During this time, I expect all collection activities, including calls and written communication, to cease until the necessary verifications can be provided. Additionally, I must emphasize that any attempts to harass, mislead, or deceive me will not be tolerated. The FD CPA strictly prohibits actions such as threats, use of obscene language, or misrepresentation of the debt. Should I experience any such behavior, I will not hesitate to take appropriate legal action to protect my rights. As a resident of Missouri, it is important to mention that while the FD CPA offers protections at the federal level, there are also state-specific laws that govern debt collection practices within Missouri. It is paramount that you fulfill all obligations imposed by both federal and state laws in your communication with me. If you are unable to provide the requested information, or if you believe that you have made an error in pursuing this particular debt, please inform me immediately in writing. Until I receive the necessary documents to validate this debt, I must insist that you cease all collection attempts. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will handle this situation in accordance with the FD CPA and related state laws. I look forward to receiving the requested information promptly within the timeframes provided by law. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Phone Number]
