How to Deal with Debt Collectors — Step by Step

Steps customized for Maryland law, credit card debt rules, and Credit Corp Solutions's collection patterns.

1

Never confirm or deny anything on the first call

When a collector calls, get their name, company name, address, and what debt they're calling about. Do not confirm your address, employment, or that you owe anything. Ask them to send everything in writing.

2

Switch immediately to written communication

Tell them: 'I prefer to communicate in writing. Please send all correspondence by mail.' This creates a paper trail and prevents manipulative phone tactics. You can legally require written communication.

3

Send a validation request within 30 days

Use your FDCPA § 1692g rights immediately. Send a certified validation letter demanding proof of the debt's validity, amount, original creditor, and collector's authority to collect.

4

Know what they can and cannot do

Legal: send letters, call between 8am-9pm, file lawsuits. Illegal: threaten arrest, use profanity, call your employer after being told to stop, misrepresent the amount or legal status, contact third parties about your debt.

5

Keep records of everything

Log every call: date, time, phone number, and everything said. Save every letter. Keep all certified mail receipts. This documentation is your evidence if violations occur or the debt goes to court.
