    RE: Account #_________/Original Creditorâ??s Name

    Dear Sir/Madame:

    Thank you for receiving this notice. Because you have failed to answer my request to validate your claim of debt against me I hereby request that you cease further communication with me as pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Please complete and return the attached notice as required by law. If I do not receive a response from you within thirty (30) days, I will assume that your collection efforts are being terminated and that you have waived all claims against me.

    Sincerely,

    «Signature»
    «Your Name»

    This notice is given by the collector so as to comply with Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. If a consumer notifies a debt collector in writing that the consumer refuses to pay a debt or that the consumer wishes the debt collector to cease further communication with the consumer, the debt collector shall not communicate further with the consumer with respect to such debt, except
    1. to advise the consumer that the debt collector's further collection efforts are being terminated;
    2. to notify the consumer that the debt collector or creditor may invoke specified remedies which are ordinarily invoked by such debt collector or creditor; or
    3. where applicable, to notify the consumer that the debt collector or creditor intends to invoke a specified remedy.
    Please make your selection by circling the corresponding letter:
    • As the debt collector in this matter, this final notice is to inform you that our collection efforts are being terminated.
    • As the debt collector in this matter, we may invoke a specified remedy, which is ordinarily invoked by us, to collect this alleged debt.
    • As the debt collector in this matter, we intend to invoke a specified remedy to collect this alleged debt.
