โข๏ธ THE NUCLEAR LAW โ 15 U.S.C. ยง 1692c(c)
If you notify a debt collector
IN WRITING that you refuse to pay a debt OR that you wish them to cease communication โ the debt collector
SHALL NOT communicate further with you about that debt.
The 3 narrow exceptions they can still contact you for:
- To advise you their collection efforts are being terminated
- To notify you they may invoke specific legal remedies
- To notify you they intend to invoke a specific remedy (i.e., "we're suing you")
โ ๏ธ Any contact BEYOND these 3 exceptions = FDCPA violation.
