CA sent CERTIFIED mail - Do I sign?

    I have been through all the steps to counter the CA (all certified return receipt).

    Validation
    Estoppel
    Intent to Sue

    CA has racked up about 15 violations. Calling 10 times during validation.

    Not validating (printout, no signature, ss#, not even my correct last name).

    Two more letters in response to Estoppel (frivolous, he says. Another violation).

    Calls have stopped since Estoppel (one of the letters I received, it seemed to occur to him - oops - I forgot to stop calling). When I sent Estoppel, it got his attention. When I sent Intent to Sue last week, I think he probably shit himself.

    So now, in response to my intent to sue letter, I have a certified letter waiting for me. Should I sign for it? Advice is greatly appreciated.

    Just as a side note, this has never hit my credit report because Original Creditor doesn't have my ss# or even my correct last name.

    i think it would depend on how comfortable you are with your case.

    i personally wouldn't.

    out of curiosity, why would someone not want to sign a certified letter?

    maybe CA got proof and is suing YOU.

    With all the letter writing and time put into this, why run now? I think I would pick up the letter, unless someone could tell me why not.

    i never sign for anything unless i am expecting something.

    OC/CA that are smart send two of the same thing - one certified, one regular.

    that is why i asked how comfortable the OP was with their case. the OP sent ITS - this could be from their attorney. it the OP is confident they will win in court then pick it up. if you have violations but not so confident - maybe not.

    I agree...you have been sending them certified mail...why can't you receive it?
    If you are afraid they are sueing you, why would picking up the letter matter? They already know how to get in touch with you and many jurisdictions provide for "alternate service" of a summons
    Maybe they are offering you a settlement, and want to make sure the right person receives it
