Subject: Important Notice: Complying with the Fair Debt Collection Act — Your Rights and Options [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Debt Collector’s Name] [Debt Collector's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Re: Notice Under the Fair Debt Collection Act Dear [Debt Collector's Name], I am writing this letter to assert my rights and request your compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FD CPA). This letter serves as legal notice that I am aware of my rights and will not tolerate any violation of the law. As a resident of San Jose, California, it is vital to inform you that the FD CPA provides protection against abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices in debt collection. Your agency must adhere to these regulations to prevent any legal consequences. The FD CPA outlines several key rights and requirements, such as: 1. Verification of the Debt: Within five days of initial contact, you must provide me with a written notice containing the amount owed, the name of the original creditor, and a statement that acknowledges my rights to dispute the debt. 2. Cease and Desist Communication: If I do not wish to be contacted further or if I have retained legal representation, you must honor my request to cease communication. During this period, you are only allowed to contact me to confirm the termination of collection efforts or to inform me of any legal actions being taken. 3. Validation of Debt: Upon receiving my dispute within 30 days of your initial communication, you must cease collection activities until you have provided proof of the debt's validity. This includes any supporting documentation or contracts that demonstrate my liability. 4. Prohibition of Harassment or Abuse: Your agency is strictly prohibited from engaging in any behavior that may harass, oppress, or abuse me, such as using threats, obscene language, or publicizing my debt to unauthorized parties. 5. Documentation of Communication and Debt: It is crucial for your company to keep accurate records of all communication and debt-related information. Any misrepresentation of the debt or failure to maintain records could result in serious legal consequences. San Jose, California, residents are legally entitled to protection under the FD CPA, and I expect full compliance from your agency. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in further legal action, including but not limited to filing a complaint with appropriate authorities and pursuing damages. I demand that you respond to this notice within 30 days of receipt. Any further attempts to collect on this debt without providing satisfactory evidence of its validity will be considered harassment and a clear violation of my rights. Remember that every debt collector should have a clear understanding of the FD CPA, including their obligations and the consequences of non-compliance. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I hope we can resolve this issue amicably and avoid any further legal actions. Sincerely, [Your Name]
