Hi Un-incorportate
Since you have already requested them to provide you with proof that you are responsible for paying the debt, you can also send a DV letter, because the CA cannot rule out this letter and until and unless they validate the debt in writing, they cannot force you to pay back the debt. If they still disturb you, without validating your debt, complain against them to the FTC and the AGs office.

As Mary said, you can send a debt validation letter to the CA. You can send a DV letter although FDCPA does not apply to business debt, because the CA is targeting your personal credit report and personal credit report falls under FDCPA. However, as you said in your first post, there is only a hard inquiry on your credit report, which means that you may have applied for a new line of credit from them. I don't think they are pulling your credit report for listing your corporation debt in your report. So I don't find any need to worry. However, you should consult an attorney regarding this.

Still who is suing you the Original creditor or a collection agency? I would not do anything until the debt is validated. I would also probaly talk to an atty concerning your rights. I can not see how if the debt was a corporation debt how they can sue you personally. You would think it would have to sue the company. Let us know how this works out for you.

Definately make sure they validate before you pay anything, also see if the SOL is still in effect.

validation is the only way to make a company show that they own the debt but as much as we say it, some consumers feel completely helpless against these collection agencies and end up paying a debt that they probably should not have. Education about the laws is the only defense.

I don't think that he would be because the corportation would have it's own tax identification number unless he used his social security number for tax reporting purposes on the account, but it does not appear to be that way from what I have read.

You are liable. If you had the application you could see it. But, they are full of it. They probably will not sue and they can't take you house. They can get money from your bank accounts IF they get a judgement. Hang Tough.

Thanks for the advice but you have to relize some collectors will take things 100% of the way and do anything they can to get their money. They can not take the house as you say but they can attach wages in some states and aas you mentioned bank acccounts. I have seen this happen before.
