How to Check a Debt Keith D. Weiner & Associates Says You Owe

Because this firm moves accounts from demand letters to court and then to post-judgment collection, find out quickly which stage you are in.

• Check for a case. If you have been served, note the court, case number and answer deadline. If you only have a letter, look for the validation notice (15 U.S.C. § 1692g; 12 C.F.R. § 1006.34).
• Dispute in writing within the validation period. Request the contract, statements and proof of how the plaintiff acquired the debt if it is a debt buyer.
• Ask who the client is. The current owner may be a bank, an auto lender, a landlord or a buyer of charged-off accounts.
• Audit the balance. Look for interest, late fees or attorney's fees your agreement does not authorize.
• Look at the dates. In Texas, suits on most debts must be brought within four years (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.004), and debt buyers cannot sue on time-barred consumer debt (Tex. Fin. Code § 392.307). Ohio and the other states where the firm practices have different periods.

What Keith D. Weiner & Associates Can and Can't Do

Lawyers who regularly collect consumer debts are covered by the FDCPA (Heintz v. Jenkins, 514 U.S. 291 (1995)), and that includes their litigation activity. Specifically:

• It must file collection suits in the proper venue: where you live or signed the contract (15 U.S.C. § 1692i).
• It may not misstate the amount or legal status of the debt in letters or court papers (15 U.S.C. § 1692e(2)).
• In post-judgment collection, it may not threaten to seize property that is exempt. In Texas, wages for ordinary consumer debts are protected.
• It must route communications through your attorney once it knows you have one (15 U.S.C. § 1692c(a)(2)).
