Debt Collectors Filing Invalid Registered-Agent Addresses to Block Legal Service

A debt collector's registered agent address on file with the state matches its corporate office rather than a valid address for receiving legal correspondence, causing certified dispute mail to be returned as undeliverable. This effectively blocks consumers from exercising formal dispute and legal-service rights under FDCPA and state law.
