Debt collectors are legally required to send you a debt validation letter, which outlines what the debt is, how much you owe and to who, as well as when you need to pay the debt.
If you're still uncertain about the debt you're being asked to pay, you can request a debt verification letter to get more information.
One of the most rigorous rules in their favor is the 7-in-7 rule.
This rule states that a creditor must not contact the person who owes them money more than seven times within a 7-day period.
Also, they must not contact the individual within seven days after engaging in a phone conversation about a particular debt.
