Virgin Islands Sample Letter to Debt Collector Re Fair Debt Collection and Practices Act: [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Date] [Debt Collection Agency Name] [Company Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Virgin Islands Sample Letter to Debt Collector Re Fair Debt Collection and Practices Act Dear [Debt Collection Agency Name], I am writing this letter in response to your recent communication regarding the debt you claim I owe. I am aware of my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FD CPA) and the Virgin Islands debt collection laws, and I believe that your collection practices may be in violation of these regulations. It has come to my attention that your agency has engaged in certain actions that are prohibited by law, and I am writing this letter to exercise my rights under the FD CPA. Please find below a detailed account of my concerns and requests. 1. Harassment and Abuse: I have received numerous excessive and harassing phone calls from your agency, which I believe constitutes harassment. These calls have been made at inconvenient times and have caused undue stress and anxiety. I demand that all forms of communications, except for written correspondence, cease immediately. 2. Providing Misleading Information: Your agency has failed to provide clear and accurate information regarding my rights pertaining to the debt in question, the original creditor, the full amount owed, and any relevant supporting documents. I request that you provide a written validation of the debt, including all relevant documentation such as the original contract or loan agreement, copies of any correspondence, and a detailed account statement. 3. Unfair Practices: I have reason to believe that your agency has engaged in unfair practices, such as adding unauthorized fees and interest to the outstanding balance. The FD CPA explicitly prohibits charging any amount not expressly authorized by the agreement or state law. I demand a complete breakdown of all charges imposed, including a detailed explanation of any additional fees or interest. 4. Cease and Desist: Given the aforementioned concerns, I demand that you immediately cease and desist all collection activities until such time that proper validation is provided. Failure to comply with this request may result in legal action taken against your agency in accordance with the FD CPA and Virgin Islands debt collection laws. Please be aware that I am fully aware of my rights under the FD CPA and Virgin Islands debt collection laws, and I will not hesitate to take appropriate legal action to protect myself from any further violation of my rights. I kindly request a written response within 30 calendar days from the date of this letter. Your failure to respond or address the concerns raised will be seen as an admission of the validity of my claims and may prompt further legal action. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
