This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Date] [Debt Collector's Name] [Debt Collector's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Notice Under Fair Debt Collection Act Dear [Debt Collector's Name], I am writing this letter to formally notify you of my request for validation of the alleged debt you are attempting to collect from me, as well as to exercise my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FD CPA) as enforced in West Virginia. It has come to my attention that there may be discrepancies or inaccuracies regarding the debt in question, and I seek clarification and validation before proceeding any further. According to Section 1692g of the FD CPA, I have the right to request written validation of this debt within 30 days of receiving this notice. This validation should include details such as the original creditor's name, the specific amount owed, an itemized breakdown of any fees or charges, and any relevant documents supporting the debt's legitimacy. In addition to requesting validation, I would also like to remind you of the specific guidelines set forth by West Virginia law in the case of debt collection. The state of West Virginia follows the FD CPA in its entirety, but it's crucial to ensure your debt collection practices strictly adhere to the provisions mentioned in the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act (WICCA) as well. Under the WICCA, debt collectors in West Virginia must not engage in any deceptive, unfair, or unconscionable methods to collect debts. They are prohibited from using misleading representations, misrepresenting the character, amount, or legal status of a debt, and making false threats of legal actions or consequences they do not intend to take. It is imperative that you comply with all provisions of the FD CPA and the WICCA. Failure to do so may result in legal repercussions, including potential liability for damages and penalties as prescribed by both federal and West Virginia state law. Furthermore, I request that you cease all communication regarding this debt until you provide the requested validation. I also demand that any negative reporting to credit bureaus be suspended during this validation period, as per my rights granted under the FD CPA. Please note that this letter is not an acknowledgement of the debt's validity, and it is not to be considered a waiver of any rights or remedies that I may have under the FD CPA, WICCA, or any other applicable laws. I kindly ask you to treat this matter with the urgency, professionalism, and respect it deserves. Your prompt response and compliance with this notice are awaited within the 30-day timeframe prescribed by the FD CPA. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I expect your timely response. Sincerely, [Your Name]
