Important Change to our 30-day Money Back Guarantee ************************************** Due to the increasing allegations of fraudulent purchase transactions involving documents specifically designated for the purposes of litigation in eviction and/or unlawful detainer proceedings, we have been forced into choosing whether to continue offering such documents at all to ANYONE, or to declare that they are NON-REFUNDABLE, and are no longer covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee. ************************************** Consequently we have decided that as of March 16, 2024 at 1:00 am, PDT any single document specifically listed in the Eviction Defense Collection is hereby NON-REFUNDABLE. To determine if one or more of your proposed documents are NON-REFUNDABLE you will need to review the list of single documents found within the description for the Eviction Defense Collection. ************************************** In the meantime, we will be updating the individual file listings for all such affected documents. ************************************** HOWEVER, YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED!

Collection agency cease and desist letter

by Stan Burman

A collection agency cease and desist letter is the topic of this blog post.  

A collection agency cease and desist letter is authorized by the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA), Title 15 United States Code sections 1692c and 1692k which authorize any consumer to send a written demand to any third-party debt collector such as a collection agency to request that they cease and desist from all communications by telephone, or all communications if that is desired.

The State of California has a law known as the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act provision found in California Civil Code Section 1788.17 which authorizes the use of a cease and desist letter to any debt collector regardless of whether they are the original creditor or not.

Any cease and desist letter should be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested so that the consumer has documentary evidence that could be used in court if the collection agency does not comply as continuing collection efforts after being notified in writing to cease and desist is a violation of both the California and Federal versions of the FDCPA.

You should be sure to make copies of any letter or letters as well as all documents and receipts that relate to the mailing such as the signed return receipt for the certified mail.
