The Significance of a Debt Dispute Letter
>> Saturday, May 5, 2012
Dispute your debt legally when you notably receive incessant, frustrating debt collection calls from your creditor or collections agency especially when you already told them that the billed amount is wrong or that you are not the person who actually owes them the debt. And if you're wondering, debt disputes are legitimately supported by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
Keep yourself a copy of the debt dispute letters that you send to your creditor or collections agency. And when you send those dispute letters, be sure to use an official mail with a return-receipt requested. Unlike the certified mail, your creditor or collections agency cannot negate your argument when you use an official mail in sending out the debt validation letters.
Do not expect a response from your creditor or collections agency. They can choose to either respond or ignore your letter. Yes, they are given the preference to do that under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). The response is not obligatory unless your creditor or credit collectors intend to specifically take action to resolve your debt.
Properly written debt validation letters should be sent shortly after you receive the preliminary collection notices whether they come from your creditor or from collections agency. This way, you affirm whether the claims of your creditors or collections agency are legitimate or not.
Lest you forget, your cloak and dagger in a debt dispute is your approach to effectively convey the dispute to your creditor or collections agency. You are the forerunner of the dispute and every part of the process counts on you. Be confident and quick-witted. You might be one step behind as far as your creditor or debt collector's experience in the industry is concern. But a pool of resources spread over a well organized debt dispute and a carefully written debt dispute letters can favorably toss your position.
