For example, you are prohibited from engaging in any form of harassment or intimidation, including making excessive phone calls, using offensive language, or threatening legal action that does not align with legal requirements. It is crucial that you communicate with me in a respectful and professional manner throughout this process. Additionally, I would like to exercise my right to request that all future communication regarding this debt be conducted in writing. This ensures accuracy of information and provides a record of our correspondence in case further action is necessary. It is important for you to understand that I take my rights as a consumer seriously, and any violations of the FD CPA will not be tolerated. If I find that you have engaged in any illegal or unethical behavior during the debt collection process, I will not hesitate to take appropriate legal action to protect my rights. Please consider this letter as a reminder of the laws and regulations governing debt collection practices in Suffolk County, New York. I trust that you will conduct yourself accordingly and provide me with the necessary verification of the debt in question in a timely manner. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
