What Is a Debt Validation Letter? And Why Do You Need It?
Debt collectors are expected to provide you with verification of the debt you owe a client of theirs. They cannot just ask you to pay back a debt you are unaware of. The FDCPA ensures that all debt collection agencies including Audit systems, Inc. follows the correct procedure.
If you have been contacted by a debt collector, you should first verify that the debt they are calling you about is actually yours. If you are not certain that the debt the agency is asking you about is any business of yours, you should certainly contact them and ask them to send a debt validation letter to confirm the nature of the debt and the amount owed.
The FDCPA requires debt collection agencies to provide a debt validation letter within 5 days of a request for them to do so. If they fail to keep to this timeline, you may be able to sue the debt collection agency as they would be then in violation of the FDCPA.
