What Should I Do When Contacted by Credit Control LLC?
In accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), all debt collection agencies must follow the same rules. This includes Credit Control LLC. The rules laid out in the FDCPA are intended to protect consumers from unfair actions on behalf of the creditors.
If you receive a phone call or letter from Credit Control LLC, the first action you should take is to ask for your debt to be validated. According to the FDCPA, a consumer is entitled to written verification of his or her debt from the collection agency. This is known as debt validation or debt verification. The written verification of your debt is called a debt verification letter. This letter will outline what the debt is, how much is owed and any other relevant information you need to know regarding the debt.
Additionally, a consumer is entitled to dispute a debt when a debt collection agency tries to collect. This means the second action you should take when contacted by Credit Control LLC is to contact a debt settlement attorney. An experienced debt settlement attorney will deal with the debt collection firm on your behalf.
