Debt collectors ignoring FDCPA validation rights, collecting unowed debts
Consumers regularly receive collection attempts on debts they never signed or debts purchased from original creditors without proper validation. Collectors assert accounts are verified while refusing to provide the 5-step validation documentation required by FDCPA, leaving families unable to dispute or relocate. The pattern repeats across multiple collectors and affects housing stability.
