Letter of REFUSAL TO PAY

Credit repair

Who would use this letter in the credit repair process? If used....when would be a good time to recommend submitting it in a credit repair process?

If you wanted to encourage a lawsuit by a CA would submitting this inspire them to sue? Could this action help lure a CA to sue so a settlement could be proposed to avoid liti9gation for FDCPA violations?

Would this be a waste of time and effort? What would be the best and worst case scenerios against a CA....like Midland, Cavalry, Arrow, etc.?

Any comments, thoughts and opinions welcome.

Do you want them to sue you? What is your intention? I guess it sounds kind of silly but most people come here and try to avoid a lawsuit, but if I am reading your post right, you want to bait them into one right? Can you explain why if this is the case.

Hi Wasco,

I think that allowing the collection agency (CA) to file a lawsuit, is a waste of time and effort. It is better to settle the debt with the CA now, rather than doing it after being sued. Your account has been charged off, and therefore, it has damaged your credit score. Now, if you allow a lawsuit against you, your score will lower all the more. Moreover, after the judgment, ultimately, you will have to pay the debt, and it will stay in your credit report for 7 years. As you owe the debt, and you need to pay it, you must settle it now itself with the CA.

Hope this helps.

For the record, the accounts represented by the CA's are past SOL. They have refused to respond to DV letters and continue to report to the CRA's. The CRA's continue to report that the accounts have been verified as belonging to me by the reporting source.

So the scenerio would be....submit a letter of refusal to either push them into filing a suit so I can have the cases dismissed because of the SOL or submit the LRTP in hopes they sell it off to another CA and deal with the reporting of invalidated debt through my own civil action.

Opinions?
