Why Complete Credit Solutions May Be Contacting You

We could not verify which creditors or industries Complete Credit Solutions works for, or whether a given account is one it owns or one it collects for someone else. That makes the first letter especially important. It must say whom the debt is owed to now and, for most consumer debts, who the original creditor was. If the company bought your account, it is the creditor and may be the plaintiff if a suit is filed.

Because the company is in Texas, it is also subject to the Texas Debt Collection Act, which requires third-party debt collectors and credit bureaus to file a surety bond with the Texas Secretary of State before collecting from Texans (Tex. Fin. Code § 392.101). See do collection agencies have to be licensed in Texas?

How to Check a Debt Complete Credit Solutions Says You Owe

  • Get the validation notice and keep the envelope. The notice must name the current creditor and itemize the balance since a reference date (15 U.S.C. § 1692g; 12 C.F.R. § 1006.34). The postmark helps you track your dispute deadline.
  • Dispute in writing. Send a written dispute within the validation period and ask for the original creditor's name, the account number it used, and the date and amount of the last payment.
  • Ask whether it owns the debt. If it purchased the account, ask for the bill of sale and the record identifying your account in the purchased portfolio.
  • Look at the age of the account. Texas generally allows four years to sue on a consumer debt (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.004). A debt buyer may not sue, or threaten to sue, on time-barred consumer debt (Tex. Fin. Code § 392.307). Other states have their own periods. Read our note on Texas H.B. 996.

What Complete Credit Solutions Can and Can't Do

If it collects consumer debts owed to others, it is a "debt collector" under 15 U.S.C. § 1692a(6). If it buys defaulted debts and collecting them is the principal purpose of its business, it is also a debt collector under the FDCPA's principal-purpose definition, even for debts it owns; Henson v. Santander Consumer USA Inc., 582 U.S. 79 (2017), addressed only the separate "owed to another" prong.

  • It may not call more than seven times in seven days about one debt without a presumption of harassment (12 C.F.R. § 1006.14(b)(2)).
  • It may not threaten to garnish your wages for an ordinary consumer debt; Texas law generally does not allow that (Tex. Const. art. XVI, § 28).
  • It may not falsely threaten arrest or criminal charges (15 U.S.C. § 1692e(4)). See can a collector threaten arrest or jail?
  • It must stop most contact once you ask in writing (15 U.S.C. § 1692c(c)).
