Re: Your ticket #
Mr./Ms. Collector:
I am writing in response to your constant collection attempts by mail and phone calls!
According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, [15 USC 1692c] Section 805(c): CEASING COMMUNICATION: You must cease all communication with me after being notified in writing that I no longer wish to communicate with you. Therefore, I demand that you stop calling me at home, at work, on my cell phones or at any other location and stop all mailings as well!
In accordance with the federal FDCPA, now that you have received this "stop calling" letter, you may only contact me to inform me that you:
• are terminating further collection efforts;
• invoking specified remedies which are ordinarily invoked by your company; or
• intend to invoke a specified remedy.
Be advised that I am well aware of my rights! For instance, I know that any future contact by you or your company violates the FDCPA and that since you already have my location information, calls made by you or your company to any 3rd party concerning me violates section 805(b)2 of the FDCPA.
Be advised that I am keeping accurate records of all correspondence from you and your company, including tape recording all phone calls. If you continue calling me, I will pursue all available legal actions to stop you from harassing me.
These people have been calling me and my work number. Told them I do not have the money to pay the medical bills because I am still going through medical issues and have a lot of doctor bills. They don't care and have threatened me with a suit also. I offered to send them something but they couldn't take less than $100.00 a month. I told them I would not commit to that because I couldn't send that much. They would rather harrass you than take what you can send them. I did offer to pay but I just can't pay $100.00 a month. So what does that tell you?
How about trying this, and see if it works.....PAY YOUR BILLS AND YOU WONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEM BEING TURNED OVER TO A DEBT COLLECTION ATTORNEY,....
