What does it mean to dispute a debt?
If you find yourself in a situation where you genuinely believe that you do not owe a particular debt, it is within your rights to demand that the creditor validates the debt before they can continue their collection efforts. Here’s what you need to know:
- Right to Debt Validation
- You have the right to request debt validation from the creditor if you dispute the existence or accuracy of the debt.
- This request can be made at any time during the debt collection process.
- 30-Day Response Period
- Upon receiving your request for debt validation, the creditor or collection agency has a maximum of 30 days to respond.
- Within this timeframe, they must provide sufficient evidence to validate the debt and prove its legitimacy.
- Credit History Impact
- If the creditor or collection agency fails to provide proper validation within the 30-day period, they are legally required to strike the debt from your credit history.
- Removing the debt from your credit history can have a positive impact on your overall credit score and financial standing.
