I'm looking for the original ftc opinion letter that contained the following: "Would the following action by a debt collector constitute continued collection activity under § 1692g(b): reporting a charged-off consumer debt to a consumer reporting agency as disputed in accordance with § 1692e(8), when the debt collector became aware of the dispute when the consumer sent a written dispute to the debt collector during the 30-day validation period, and no verification of the debt has been provided by the debt collector?" Yes. As stated in our answer to Question II, we view reporting to a consumer reporting agency as a collection activity prohibited by § 1692g(b) after a written dispute is received and no verification has been provided. Again, however, a debt collector must report a dispute received after a debt has been reported under § 1692e(8). From FTC opinion letter John F. LeFevre, Attorney December 23, 1997) Does anyone know where I can find this letter from John F. LeFevre, Attorney December 23, 1997? I can't find it at http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fcra/ Thanks, Kelly
