Subject: Sample Letter to Debt Collector Re: Fair Debt Collection and Practices Act Dear [Debt Collector's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you regarding a debt that has been reported to your agency and to bring your attention to my rights as a consumer under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FD CPA). Please consider this letter as a formal request to cease all communication until proper verification of the debt and compliance with the FD CPA is provided. Firstly, it is crucial to understand that I am aware of my rights as a consumer and will assert them to ensure fair treatment during the debt collection process. As per the FD CPA, debt collectors are required to provide written verification of the debt within 30 days of receiving my written request. I hereby request that you provide me with the following information: 1. Confirmation that you are the rightful owner of the debt and have the legal authority to collect it. 2. A detailed breakdown of the debt, including the original amount, any interest or fees applied, and the dates of any transactions leading to the debt. Please provide copies of any contracts or agreements related to this debt. 3. Proof that the statute of limitations has not expired on this debt, as defined by the laws of my state. 4. Documentation demonstrating that you are licensed to collect debts in my state, if applicable. 5. Complete information about my rights as a consumer under the FD CPA. Please understand that failure to provide the requested information, or any attempt to continue collection efforts without complying with the FD CPA, will be considered a violation of my rights and will leave me with no choice but to take appropriate legal action. Furthermore, I must emphasize that all communication regarding this debt should be carried out in writing. I wish to exercise my right to have a written record of all correspondence related to this matter. Finally, I would like to bring your attention to the potential penalties for violating the FD CPA. In cases where a debt collector is found to be in violation, I may be entitled to seek legal remedies, including actual damages, statutory damages up to $1,000, and an award of attorney fees if applicable. In conclusion, I expect your full compliance with the FD CPA and a prompt response to this letter. Please ensure that all further communication with me is strictly in accordance with the law. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Phone Number] [Email Address]
