The systemic gap between legal rights and real-world enforcement leaves millions unable to effectively dispute alleged debts.

Collection activity continues despite inadequate validation. Consumers face an asymmetric burden when disputing third-party debt buyers who acquired accounts without complete records.
Debt Collectors Continuing Collection Without FDCPA Validation
