How to Check a Debt Schreiber Law Says You Owe
When a debt buyer is the client, the key question is whether it can prove it owns your account.
- Read the validation notice. The firm must name the current creditor and itemize the balance (15 U.S.C. § 1692g; 12 C.F.R. § 1006.34).
- Dispute in writing within the validation period and ask for the card agreement, the charge-off statement and the bill of sale or assignment that lists your account. See what is a debt buyer?
- Check the math. Compare the claimed balance to the charge-off balance, and ask the firm to explain any interest added since.
- If papers were served, calendar the answer deadline right away.
- Check the dates. In Texas, most debt suits must be filed within four years (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.004), and a debt buyer cannot sue on time-barred consumer debt (Tex. Fin. Code § 392.307); see suits on time-barred debt. New Hampshire and other New England states have their own periods.
What Schreiber Law Can and Can't Do
A law firm that regularly collects consumer debts is a "debt collector" under the FDCPA, and the Act applies to its lawsuits as well as its letters (Heintz v. Jenkins, 514 U.S. 291 (1995)).
- It may not misrepresent the amount owed or who owns the debt (15 U.S.C. § 1692e(2)(A)).
- It must file any consumer debt suit in the judicial district where you live or where you signed the contract (15 U.S.C. § 1692i).
- It may not sue or threaten to sue on a time-barred debt (12 C.F.R. § 1006.26(b)).
- If you have a lawyer and it knows that, it must deal with your lawyer instead of you (15 U.S.C. § 1692c(a)(2)).
