Utah Sample Letter to Debt Collector Re Fair Debt Collection and Practices Act Subject: Seek Compliance with the Fair Debt Collection and Practices Act [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Debt Collector's Name] [Debt Collection Agency] [Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Debt Collector's Name], Re: [Account Number/Reference Number] I am writing to address concerns regarding debt collection practices employed by your agency, which I believe may be in violation of the Fair Debt Collection and Practices Act (FD CPA), a federal law that governs such activities. As a consumer residing in Utah, I wish to educate myself on my rights as a debtor and ensure that your agency is adhering to these regulations. The FD CPA provides clear guidelines to protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, and abusive debt collection practices. It grants certain rights to debtors, including the right to dispute the validity of a debt, the right to request verification of a debt, and the right to cease communication. It is my responsibility as well to understand and maintain compliance with the Act's requirements. I am aware that Utah also has its own set of statutes related to debt collection, and it is imperative that your agency is familiar with and follows these regulations in addition to federal laws. I want to remind you of your obligation to respect and abide by the provisions set forth in both the FD CPA and Utah state laws. To ensure transparency, I kindly request the following information as is mandated by the FD CPA: 1. Verification of the debt: As per federal law, I am entitled to verification of the debt claimed within 30 days from the receipt of this letter. Please provide all necessary documentation supporting the validity of the debt, including the original creditor's name, the amount owed, and any relevant contracts or agreements. 2. Cease communication: Pursuant to the FD CPA, I am exercising my right to request that you cease all communication attempts regarding this debt, except those required by the Act, such as providing verification of the debt or legal action taken against me. Please take note of this request and confirm in writing that you will respect my desire for no further communication. I would like to resolve this matter amicably if the alleged debt is valid and accurate. However, should you fail to provide the requested information within the specified time frame, I reserve the right to seek legal assistance and file complaints with the appropriate regulatory bodies to ensure my rights are upheld. Kindly acknowledge the receipt of this letter within five business days to confirm that my concerns have been duly noted. All future correspondence should be conducted through written means to maintain a clear and documented record of our interactions. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I anticipate your cooperation as we work towards a mutually satisfactory resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
