The letter states on its face that Lloyd & McDaniel , PLC is a debt collector and that it is attempting to collect a debt allegedly owed to XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I dispute this alleged debt in full. I do not admit liability, ownership, accuracy, enforceability, or the legal status of this alleged account or balance. Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, including 15 U.S.C. 1692g, I am formally disputing the alleged debt and demanding full validation and verification before any further collection activity continues. Lloyd & McDaniel , PLC must cease all collection activity on the disputed amount until it provides competent verification of the alleged debt, the legal authority to collect, the complete chain of title or assignment, and the name and address of the original creditor if different from the current creditor. I am also invoking my rights under XXXX XXXX. XXXX ( c ) and demanding that Lloyd & McDaniel , PLC cease all further communications with me regarding this alleged debt, except for communications expressly permitted by law, including confirmation that collection efforts are terminated, notice of specific remedies that may be pursued, or transmission of lawful verification documents in response to this dispute. Any continued collection activity, phone calls, letters, reporting, threats, demands for payment, litigation threats, or contact outside the narrow statutory exceptions after receipt of this dispute and cease-communication notice will be treated as knowing and willful FDCPA violations. This matter is also a pre-litigation notice. Any further violations after receipt of this complaint and dispute will be preserved as evidence for claims under the FDCPA, including 15 U.S.C. 1692c, 1692d, 1692e, 1692f, and 1692g. If Lloyd & McDaniel , PLC continues collection without first providing lawful verification, or if it misrepresents the character, amount, legal status, or enforceability of the alleged debt, I will seek all available remedies, including actual damages, statutory damages, costs, attorneys fees, and any other monetary relief available under law. XXXX XXXX XXXX FDCPA Issues Raised Lloyd & McDaniel , PLC is subject to the FDCPA because its own notice identifies it as a debt collector attempting to collect a consumer debt for XXXX XXXX XXXX I dispute the alleged debt in full under 15 U.S.C. 1692g. Collection must stop until lawful verification is mailed. I demand no further communication under 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( c ), except the limited communications allowed by law. Any attempt to collect without proper verification may constitute unfair, deceptive, misleading, or abusive collection conduct under 15 U.S.C. 1692d, 1692e, and 1692f. Any false representation of the amount, character, legal status, ownership, assignment, or enforceability of the alleged debt may constitute a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692e. I do not consent to continued collection activity on this disputed alleged debt. This complaint is submitted as a formal dispute, cease-communication demand, consumer protection complaint, and pre-litigation notice. Lloyd & McDaniel , PLC is now on notice that any continued violation after receipt will be treated as willful and used to support monetary relief under the FDCPA and any other applicable consumer protection laws.
