What happens after you dispute a debt?

A debt collector must stop all collection activity on a debt if you send them a written dispute about the debt, generally within 30 days after your initial communication with them. Collection activities can restart, though, after the debt collector sends verification responding to the dispute.

Whats the worst thing a debt collector can do?

Disputing a credit card charge does not hurt your credit. However, if the information on your credit report changes because of the dispute, your score may change accordingly. Credit agencies can also note the dispute by placing the XB code on your account, which simply means the dispute is under investigation.

What happens when a debt is disputed?

To dispute a debt, send a written dispute letter directly to the credit bureau reporting the debt. Include your personal details, account information, and a clear statement that you are disputing the debt. Attach any supporting documents, such as contract termination proof.

How to legally dispute a debt?

I am writing in regards to the above-referenced debt to inform you that I am disputing this debt. Please verify the debt as required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I am disputing this debt because I do not owe it. Because I am disputing this debt, you should not report it to the credit reporting agencies.

What should I say when disputing a debt?

If the debt is legitimate, within the statute of limitations, and you have the financial resources to pay it, its typically wise to settle it. Ignoring valid debt can lead to further financial strain through accruing interest and fees, not to mention ongoing damage to your credit score.
