Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Tuesday 15th September 2015.
I 'm sure you are aware of the provisions in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act XXXX FDCPA XXXX. However, I would like to point out that your company has violated provisions of the FDCPA by implying that the legal status of the debt is collectible by reporting the alleged debt to the credit bureaus. The exact statute : XXXX 15 USC 1692e ] ( 2 ) The false representation of -- ( A ) the legal status of the alleged debtand ( B ) any services rendered or compensation which may be lawfully received by any debt collector for the collection of a debt.
I am also doubtful that you would have adequate documentation to prove in court that you have the right to report this negative information on my credit report, and therefore you are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act as well as the FDCPA. However, I will give you the chance to prove that you are lawfully entitled to report this information by requesting an investigation.
I do not believe I owe what you say I owe therefore I dispute this debt. I am well aware of my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and my state laws so I hope to save XXXX us a great deal of time by letting you know that not only do I dispute the validity of this debt, I have also checked with my State Attorney General and verified that the Statute of Limitations for enforcing this type of debt through the courts in XXXX, Virginia has expired. Therefore, should you decide to pursue this matter in court I intend to inform the court of my dispute of this debt and that the " statute of limitations '' has expired.
This complaint is your formal notification that I consider this matter closed and demand that you, or anyone affiliated with your company, stop contacting me by phone on any number, regarding this or any other matter. You may contact me in writing to advise me that your debt collection efforts are being terminated or that you or the creditor are taking specific actions allowed by the FDCPA or my state laws.
Be advised that I consider any contact not in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act a serious violation of the law and will immediately report any violations to my State Attorney General, to the Federal Trade Commission and, if necessary, take whatever legal action is necessary to protect myself. Be advised that I tape record all phone calls and violations of the FDCPA can result in you or your company being personally fined up to {$1000.00}.
