CA Looking for a fight! It's on now!
bmcinto01:
Received a collection letter from a CA representing a JDB. (OC is Citi). Responded with validation, no communication, arbitration election. Three weeks later they responded:
Final Notice. Since you haven't cooperated with us……..blah, blah. We may take legal action.
I responded: You haven't validated, alleged debt still disputed, I elect arbitration.
They never even validated the debt!!! Sounds like a violation and a threat? I'd say it's on now. Go ahead and bring it!

In most states CA does not have to validate the debt.

They do in every state if they want to continue to attempt to continue to collect.
bmcinto01:
My understanding of FDCPA is, if you request validation and they don't provide it: Violation. That's federal, not state specific???
My state requires it in discovery, if it's requested, once it lands in court. Not sure about state validation requirements pre-court. Either way I elected arbitration, if they sue: Another violation!
E. Normis Debtor:
It is a federal law. This all assumes the first letter was their initial communication and you responded within 30 days.
