Threatening to take legal action the collector cannot take or does not intend to take is a prohibited debt collection practice.
Representing that nonpayment will result in garnishment or court action is prohibited unless legal action is actually intended.
Continued collection activity without providing debt validation upon request is a §809(b) violation. Request for validation was filed April 4.

Re: Account #38291 — Formal Dispute and Validation Request
To whom it may concern:
I write in response to your notice dated April 12, 2026, regarding Account #38291 and an alleged balance of $4,217.80. Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, I dispute this debt in full and request formal validation.
Your notice violates FDCPA §807(5) by threatening legal action — specifically, the statement that you "will pursue legal action" — when your office has filed no suit and provides no evidence of intent to sue.
Your notice further violates FDCPA §807(4) by threatening wage garnishment. Wage garnishment cannot lawfully occur without a judgment. Your notice presents it as an automatic consequence, which is a material misrepresentation.
As of the date of this letter, I have received no validation of this debt despite my written request of April 4, 2026. Continued collection activity during a pending validation request violates FDCPA §809(b).
Cease all collection activity on this account until you provide full validation as required by law. I reserve all rights to statutory damages under 15 USC §1692k for the violations above, which may total up to $3,000 across three separate §807 and §809 violations.
Sincerely,
[Signature]
M. Jordan
