Have requested validation from two previous CA's. Neither one responded. Same debt. I am now receiving calls from a third, but nothing through the mail. I have not returned any of the calls. Will they have to send something in writing at some point requesting payment. I have never heard of this company. They must have purchased the debt from the previous CA. I will send validation request once I receive letter, but is there anything I should or should not do at this point? The messages claim they are from the "legal department" of their company. Thanks.
Within 5 days of first "contact" with you, they should send you a letter notifying you of your right to dispute and request validation of the debt. If they are just leaving messages, they may be working on the premise that they have not "contacted" you unless they actually speak to you.
