Blair credit card debt? Stop the calls.
Feeling frustrated over the debt collectors calling you to pay up your Blair credit card bill?
If you’ve ever felt powerless while being chased down by debt collectors over your Comenity/Blair credit card debt, know that their actions are strictly limited by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
The FDCPA is a federal law that outlines how debt collectors are allowed to treat you during the debt collection process. It prohibits harassment, deception, and other unfair practices that collectors often use on consumers who aren’t aware of their rights. Under this law, you also have the right to dispute any claim made against you by a debt collector.

It’s critical to respond properly to debt collection lawsuits in order to protect your legal rights. You should never end a call with a debt collector feeling scared, threatened, or intimidated.
By law, collectors must send you a written notice within five days of their initial contact to verify the legitimacy of the debt. If you’re unsure whether your experience qualifies as harassment, call a certified consumer rights attorney at 877-700-5790 for guidance.
Consulting a lawyer can provide crucial guidance and support, especially when facing potential lawsuits.

Understanding Debt Collectors
Debt collectors are companies or individuals that contact consumers to collect debts owed to creditors. They may be the original creditor, such as a bank or credit card company, or a third-party debt collector that has purchased the debt.
Debt collectors may use various tactics to collect debts, including phone calls, letters, and lawsuits. However, they are prohibited from engaging in creditor harassment, making false statements, and using other unfair debt collection practices.
The FDCPA and FCRA provide consumers with protections against these practices, and debt collectors that violate these laws may be liable for damages. It is essential to understand the motives and tactics of debt collectors to effectively manage and reduce Blair’s credit card debt.
Who/what does the FDCPA cover?
The FDCPA covers all third-party debt collectors, with the exception of original creditors and their in-house debt collectors. For example, if you are late on payments with your Blair credit card, Blair may contact you, and if they do so directly, then you are not covered by the FDCPA. However, if they transfer or sell your debt to a third-party collector, then all the protections under the FDCPA also extend to you.
Usually, in-house collection does not take more than a few weeks or months; debts are often transferred to third-party collectors or debt buyers after this period.
What is debt verification, and why is it important?
The collector contacting you to pay your Blair credit card debt may have made a mistake. It is crucial to check a consumer’s credit report for inaccuracies, as these can have significant financial consequences. The debt may be past the statute of limitations, may have been discharged in bankruptcy, or may be owned by someone else with a similar name.
The law gives the collector five days after first contact to send you a written notice with all the details about the debt. If you’re unsure whether the debt is yours, or you believe it isn’t, send a debt validation letter by certified mail. Request a return receipt to confirm they received it.
In your letter, ask for key information, such as the full name of the debtor (including titles), the total amount owed, and the name of the original creditor. Do not admit to owing the debt before receiving proper validation, as doing so could lead to complications.
To dispute inaccurate information on your credit report, you may use one of the sample letters provided by the or contact an attorney to send one on your behalf so that you don’t end up saying the wrong thing or giving out more information than is required. Collection agencies may improperly report debt on a consumer’s credit report, leading to potential inaccuracies that need to be addressed.
Getting sued by a debt collector?
Although it is a direct violation of the FDCPA, debt collectors are known for sending notices disguised as court orders to consumers. If you get such a notice, it may be real or fake; nevertheless, never ignore a court summons or debt collection lawsuit you receive from a debt collection agency, as doing so could have unintended but serious consequences.
Ignoring a court summon can result in a judgment against you, leading to wage garnishment or liens on your property.
You can check the authenticity of the court notice you receive by checking the court’s information online. And also calling the number provided there to confirm if the notice is indeed from them. If you choose to represent yourself pro se, ensure you understand the legal procedures involved.
Make sure any response or document you submit is filed correctly and on time to avoid further legal complications.
