A debt collector may not use unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section:
"(6) Taking or threatening to take any nonjudicial action to effect dispossession or disablement of property if: (A) there is no present right to possession of the property claimed as collateral through an enforceable security interest . . . . (B) there is no present intention to take possession of the property."
Dear [Debt Collector's Name], I am writing to bring to your attention what I believe to be unfair practices in your collection activities regarding my outstanding debt. It has come to my attention that you have been taking or threatening to take nonjudicial actions where there is no present right or intent to exercise such rights. This type of behavior is not only unethical but also in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FD CPA). As a resident of Fulton, Georgia, I am well aware of my rights as a debtor and the protections afforded to me under the FD CPA. The regulation clearly states that debt collectors cannot engage in deceptive or unfair practices when attempting to collect a debt. Taking or threatening to take any nonjudicial action implies that you have the authority and intent to pursue legal action against me, which is misleading and deceptive. It is my understanding that nonjudicial actions refer to actions such as wage garnishment, property liens, or bank levies, all of which require a court order. If my understanding is correct, then it is evident that you are misleading me in order to put undue pressure on me to repay the debt. I would appreciate it if you could clarify your intentions and provide evidence of your present right to take any nonjudicial action. If you are unable to provide such evidence, I request that you immediately cease any further communications regarding legal action, as it is a violation of the FD CPA. Furthermore, I would like to remind you that if your practices are found to be in violation of the FD CPA, I may be entitled to seek legal remedies, including but not limited to damages and attorneys' fees. I hope it does not come to this, as I believe in resolving matters amicably. I kindly ask that you respond to this letter within 30 days to address my concerns and rectify the situation. Failure to do so will leave me with no option but to pursue further action to protect my rights as a debtor. I trust that you will take this matter seriously and ensure your future collection activities comply with the FD CPA. I appreciate your attention to this letter and look forward to your prompt response.
