Hi Washington state,

If you are sure that you don,t owe any debt then you can send a cease and desist letter to the company. Under the FDCPA rules if you send a cease and desist letter to a creditor, he is supposed to stop contacting and harassing you, otherwise you can sue them. Be ready with the proof of your pay receipt. You can find a sample cease and desist letter in

Hi Aror,

You can get a sample debt validation letter from http://www.creditmagic.org/repair/sampleletter-debtvalidation.html
You need to send a debt validation letter to the creditor or the collection agency to know if you really owe the debt.

Hi em,

You can contact the creditors attorney, if you want to settle the debt with the creditor. It is better than getting a court judgment, as it stays on your credit report for seven years.

If you will be able to pay a lumpsum amount, the creditor may agree to your request of settlement. However, remember to request the creditor to agree to a "Pay for delete" (PFD). With this agreement, your account will get reported as either "Paid in full" or "Paid as settled". However not every creditor agree to a PFD.

Hi em,

As your case has been taken to court, and you had been served a summons, you need to answer to it and fill out the paperwork too.

Hope this helps. Smile

I have made a settlement with the law firm over a debt, but I know that they must have a judgement made against me, my question is do I need to appear in court for this?
