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

    Dear Sir/Madame:

    This will serve as your legal notice under federal law, "The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act," to cease all communication with me in reference to the above account. If you fail to heed this notice, I will file a formal complaint against you with the Federal Trade Commission responsible for enforcement, the state Attorney Generalâ??s Office, as well as the American Collectorâ??s Association which monitors for noncompliance.

    I choose not to work with collection agencies under any circumstances, and will contact the original creditor to resolve this matter directly with them. Should any adverse items be placed on my credit report as a result of this notice I will be forced to seek legal action against you and your client.

    Sincerely,

    «Signature»
    «Your Name»
