Step-by-Step: What to Do Right Now
1. Record Everything
Keep a log of:
- Date/time of calls
- Caller name and number
- What was said
- Whether you requested no contact
Documentation is critical if you pursue a legal claim.
2. Send a Written Debt Validation Request
Within 30 days of first contact, send a written request asking EAS to verify the debt.
Sample validation request must include:
Your name
Account number (if known)
A clear request to validate the debt
Once received, EAS must provide verification before continuing collection.
Why? FDCPA requires this written validation before continued collection efforts.
3. Send a Cease-and-Desist Letter
You can legally demand that EAS stop all contact.
What happens next:
EAS can only contact you to confirm receipt of your request
They cannot continue normal collection calls afterward
This is your most powerful tool against repeated calls.
Send certified mail and keep proof of delivery.
4. File Complaints With Enforcement Agencies
If harassment continues, file reports with:
| Agency | What They Do |
|---|---|
| FTC (Federal Trade Commission) | Investigates FDCPA violations |
| CFPB () | Enforces debt collection rules |
| State Attorney General | Can pursue violations of state and federal laws |
| Better Business Bureau (BBB) | Document complaints publicly (not a regulator) |
Can You Sue for Harassment?
Yes — under the FDCPA if you can show:
- The collector contacted you
- They used prohibited practices
- You suffered harm (e.g., stress, repeated calls, invasion of privacy)
Possible recoveries may include:
Up to $1,000 in statutory damages per FDCPA violation
Attorney fees
Court costs
Actual damages in some cases
Outcome depends on individual case facts and judgment of the court.
