California Residents Receiving Threatening Debt Collection Calls

  • Communicating Consumer Rights: Consumers have their rights which includes disputing the debt itself. Debt collectors must communicate this to the consumer.
  • Verification of the Debt: Once the consumer’s been contacted, the collector must provide a notice saying the consumer has the right to request debt verification/ validation/proof. If the request for debt verification is received, the collector needs to provide the consumer with proof in the form of a receipt, or a detailed record of the overdue debt.

Debt Collectors will often tell you, “We already sent you paperwork.”  Or  “We do not have to send you paperwork.”
