Debt Collectors Refuse Written Communication to Evade FDCPA Obligations
Collection agencies deliberately refuse to communicate in writing and insist on verbal phone agreements to avoid creating records that could expose FDCPA violations. Consumers requesting debt validation letters are stonewalled or redirected back to phone calls. This tactic strips consumers of the documentation needed to dispute debts or report violations.
