Third Party Debt Collectors
Did you know that a third party debt collector can purchase your delinquent aged debt from the original creditor for as little as twenty-five cents per one hundred dollars? That is correct, one quarter per $100. Purchasing a $400 debt can cost a debt collector $1. In turn, the original creditor will make a profit of $1, and write the debt off as a loss on it's taxes, or possibly file an insurance claim on the loss. Meanwhile, the debt collector will attempt to collect this debt from you for hundreds of dollars over the amount of the original debt. That is where my Validation/Cease & Desist and Declaration Form comes in. These are powerful tools in stopping unscrupulous debt collectors in their tracks.

Zombie Debt
Many debt collection agencies are purchasing old debts that are past the SOL (Statute of Limitations). While these debts may be outdated, the debtor still has an obligation to pay the debt. The question is; to whom the debtor has a LEGAL obligation to pay the debt to? With that being said; if you receive notice from a collection agency demanding payment of a debt, have the debt validated prior to making any payment. If the collector has the legal right to collect the alleged debt, he will be more than happy to provide all information requested in the validation process. Otherwise, you may never hear from this collector again. But beware, the collector may sell the debt to another collection agency and the process will start all over again. Always respond to debt collection notices ASAP. If the debt is valid, NEGOTIATE! Never ignore the debt collection notice and let the debt be furnished to the Credit Reporting Agencies.
