Steps customized for New Jersey law, phone & telecom debt rules, and Credit Corp Solutions's collection patterns.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
These strategies apply to phone & telecom debt specifically. Telecom debt from cell phone, internet, and cable bills. The FCC regulates billing practices. Early termination fees and equipment charges are the most common disputes.
