Coast Professional, XXXX, LA contacted me by mail. Late XXXX, 2017. They back-dated the letter, and every one since. I have seen/heard nothing about this in 12 yrs. Now - big hurry, garnishment & more threatened ( in cloaked language ) and they are railroading me. Blizzard of mail. From FSA too ; a gov't agency!
Now : they failed to send a LEGIBLE copy of the Note. They both mis-represented, grossly, my right to dispute ; and seem not to want to allow me to do so. Coast & FSA too omits to tell me of options that I may/do have - and send me the wrong dispute form. They ignore my questions ( few & germane ). Wo n't give me time to dispute, in essence. Treading on my rights. They under-credited me for payments made ( I have documentation ). They allege an inflated total, therefore. They both say they can get a 20 % commission, by law, to collect. In fact the maximum is 18 % - yet they state I " will be required to pay 20 % '' to them. Over {$5000.00} - motivation for them to press me hard and in short time frame. My supporting documents are ( 1 ) I ca n't transmit them online from this terminal I have no USB camera/phone ( 2 ) some are in storage 300 miles away ( 3 ) my letters in response to theirs - same as ( 1 ) above. Snail mail seems to be my only choice, so far. Any suggestions? XXXX go ahead & email me. Nothing to hide here.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) is a federal law that protects consumers ' rights to access and correct their credit reports. The FCRA also sets rules for how credit reporting companies can collect and report information about consumers. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) announced new rules that would require credit reporting companies to remove certain types of collections accounts from consumers ' credit reports after two years. The new rules went into effect on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Under the new rules, credit reporting companies must remove collections accounts that are : More than two years old Not disputed by the consumer Not listed as paid in full The new rules do not apply to collections accounts that are : Still within the statute of limitations for collection Involving bankruptcy For government debts, such as student loans or taxes If you have a collections account on your credit report that is more than two years old, you can request that it be removed. You can do this by contacting the credit reporting company directly or by filing a dispute with the CFPB. 

The new FCRA laws about collections older than 2 years are a major victory for consumers. These laws will help consumers improve their credit scores and access credit. They will also make it more difficult for credit reporting companies to keep inaccurate or outdated information on consumers ' credit reports. 

Here are some additional things to keep in mind about the new FCRA laws about collections older than 2 years : The new rules only apply to collections accounts that are reported on credit reports. If a collections account is not reported on your credit report, the new rules do not apply. 
The new rules do not apply to all collections accounts. The new rules only apply to collections accounts that are more than two years old, not disputed by the consumer, and not listed as paid in full.

If you have a collections account that is more than two years old, you can request that it be removed from your credit report. You can do this by contacting the credit reporting company directly or by filing a dispute with the CFPB
