What should you do when a debt collector calls you?
When a debt collector begins to call you about your Comenity GameStop credit card debt, you may begin to feel fear and anxiety. This is understandable because you probably have been thinking about your GameStop credit debt prior to that time and getting the call will only agitate you further; coupled with the fact that debt collectors could be very intimidating and scary sometimes.
If the debt collector calling you to pay a GameStop credit card debt is intimidating, then you need to approach the situation cautiously and wisely. The steps below will help you do that.
Decide if it’s the best time to take the call
When the GameStop credit debt collector calls, don’t pick the call immediately without first deciding if you want to talk to them yet and if you’re in a good place to do that.
You should not pick the Comenity GameStop credit card debt collector’s call until you have learned about your rights, know what you want to do about the debt, and learned whether the statute of limitations has expired on the debt or not.
Speaking to a debt collector unprepared can lead to you reaffirming a debt that should have expired or simply does not exist.
Keep records of the calls
When you eventually take the debt collector’s call, keep a collection log (this is a written record of the date and time the debt collector’s calls, the debt collector’s name, what they say to you, their agency’s address, and details about what was discussed).
You can create this log on your notepad or on your computer. This log will help you make sense of the situation, keep track of how often the debt collector calls, and easily notice when the debt collector begins to make conflicting statements. It’s easy to notice these discrepancies when you have records.
You should also keep records of voicemails and messages that the debt collector leaves for you, especially if the messages were conveyed using abusive language and threats. This evidence will be useful if you make the decision to sue the collector.
Send a cease-and-desist letter if you want the calls to stop
If you want the debt collector to stop contacting you, the FDCPA allows you to send a written request to the debt collector. This letter is called a cease-and-desist letter. If you request that the GameStop card debt collector stops contacting you completely, they must do so, subject to some exceptions.
Before sending a cease-and-desist letter to the Gamestop card collection agency, think carefully about it.
If you would like to keep tabs on the GameStop credit card debt status or open up the lines of communication with the Gamestop credit card collector to negotiate a settlement, a cease communication letter might not be in your best interest.
When you ask the Gamestop credit card collector to stop corresponding with you, they can’t contact you except to serve you with a lawsuit or tell you that they will no longer be contacting you.
However, if you are considering filing for bankruptcy, telling the GameStop credit card collector to stop contacting you may be a good idea.
If you think you don’t owe the debt, tell the collector
You don’t have to pay a GameStop credit card debt if you do not owe it. When the GameStop credit card debt collector calls you, you can let them know that you do not think the debt is legitimate or that you do not owe the debt and tell them why.
If you have valid enough reasons, the debt collector may cease collection completely. You can also request that the debt collector validates the debt, and they must not contact you again until they have done so.
