@aconsumeradvocate: Most people don’t know that debt collectors are legally required to prove they have the right to collect and that proof is often missing. If you’re ever contacted, request validation in writing before saying anything else. It’s free, it’s legal, and it changes everything. #DebtCollector #KnowYourRights #credithelp
I once told a debt collector, “ I didn’t sign the contract with you so as far as I know I don’t owe you anything” they stopped calling me and it got erased.

I asked ChatGPT to help me dispute a debt on my credit report. Chat said this exact same thing. So I went with it. Waited 30 days for them to send me the proof that they legally have to have and provide. Never got it. Pulled credit report again, it was gone and score went up 78 points.

I asked a debt collector to email me proof that the debt hadn’t been written off by the company I originally did business with & when they couldn’t, the credit bureaus took it off my report.

I got served papers from a debt collector and I responded with papers stating that I never entered into a contract with you, please provide signed legal paperwork that I have entered into an agreement with your company, if not provided I assume my debt was paid when you purchased it. never heard another word.
