Documentation to prove that you are authorized to collect this debt on behalf of the original creditor. 3. Verification that the debt is not time-barred under applicable state laws. 4. Verification that the Statute of Limitations for legal action has not expired. 5. Any supporting documentation, such as signed agreements or contracts, establishing my liability for this alleged debt. Furthermore, I request that you provide me with written confirmation that all collection activities will be ceased until the requested information is provided and verified. As per my rights under the FD CPA, I expect your compliance within the timeframe of 30 days from the receipt of this letter. Failure to provide the necessary verification within this timeframe will be considered a violation of the FD CPA, resulting in potential legal action. Additionally, any attempts to communicate about this debt without providing the requested information will be considered harassment and violations under the FD CPA. Please note that this letter is not an admission of liability for the alleged debt, but to assert my rights and ensure that all debt collection practices adhere to the FD CPA guidelines.
