My daughter had a CA for an apartment complex that said she owed $1800 in damages. I sent a validation letter to them and they didn't properly validate so I sent them another letter telling them that they didn't. Now they said to send all correspondence to their lawyer.Wouldn't a C&D be appropriate now? Then if they continue to report I will have them on yet another violation. If I continue to send them letters instead of their attorney wouldn't their attorney tell them either to validate or drop it? Charlie
My initial reaction is that is a good thing. Once the attorney gets the letter from you that says you sent original validation letter dated a/b/c and you sent second attempt dated x/y/z he/she should understand that they have already violated the FDCPA so they need to delete the listing. Although the attorney may try and "bully" you, we all know our rights here. They will have little choice but to delete, or find themselves answering to a judge for the violations. After all, the attorney can not alter the past. -Peace, Dave
I agree Nave. That's why I think that I should continue with the letter writing. I think I will send a C&D. If I send a C&D would that mean that the lawyer would have to stop also? Charlie
