How to Stop BW Consulting Debt Collector with the Help Of DoNotPay

With close to 70 million American adults with debts in collections, it's easy to see why debt collectors have become the new-age boogeyman. BW Consulting Debt Collector is just one of them. If you fall just 30 to 90 days behind on your bill payments, you will likely hear them.

It's not just the debts that are scary, but also the tactics used by some of these third-party debt collectors. But that doesn't mean you can't fight back. If you're facing a debt collector, DoNotPay can help. Read on to find out how.

What is the FDCPA?

The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act is one of the most critical legislation for Americans in debt collection. The act protects consumers from unfair and illegal debt collection practices, which most third-party collection agencies are known for. The act has been active since 1978 and details, among other things, how to deal with debt collectors, the statute of limitations of debts, and when the debt collector can take you to court.

The FDCPA covers most private debts as long as they are not incurred for business reasons like:

• Student debts
• Medical debts
• Internet/payday loans
• Mortgage loans
• Auto loans

For the FDCPA to kick in, the debt must be handled by a debt collector. Also, child support, alimony, parking, and speeding tickets, among other debts not incurred voluntarily, are not covered by the FDCPA.

The act is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, aided by other financial regulatory agencies, which can enforce it on behalf of the institutions under their supervision.

Your Rights When Dealing with BW Consulting Debt Collector

Every third-party debt collector, BW Consulting Debt Collector included, should adhere to the guidelines of the FDCPA. There might be additional regulations depending on your state. These guidelines have highlighted your rights as a consumer. These include:

• The right to get a debt validation letter within five days.
• Protection from calls during odd hours or during business hours.
• The debtor shouldn't share your financial details with third parties.
• If you prefer, you can have the debt collector communicate with your attorney if you have one.

How To Respond to BW Consulting Debt Collectors

Knowing how to respond when contacted by a debtor is crucial. Some important steps to take when responding to debt collectors include:

1. Identify the debt collector and their full contact information
2. Validate the debt, including any interests and collection costs
3. Determine the original credit
4. Confirm that the debt doesn't belong to someone else.
5. Enquire when the debt was incurred.
6. Proceed to request more information.
7. Write a dispute letter if you're sure the debt isn't yours.
8. Determine ground rules for when the debt collector can contact you.

How to Remove Collections Off Of Your Credit Report

There are three ways you can remove a collections record from your credit report:

• Dispute the debt if it is inaccurate or outside the statute of limitations.
• If you have paid the debt, request a goodwill deletion.
• Wait for about seven years when it falls off your credit report.

Alternatively, you could use the Clean Credit Report application from DoNotPay to remove the record.

How to Stop Debt Collectors On Your Own

It's possible to stop a debt collector on your own, but the process can be frustrating. Here are a few tips that can help:

• Verify the debt and request the debt collector to get in touch through writing.
• Verify the details in the debt validation letter.
• If the debt isn't yours, file a debt verification report
• You can ignore the letter if the statute of limitation window is closing in.

If you verify the debt is yours:

• Pay it off
• Ask the debt collector not to contact you anymore. The debt collector might file a lawsuit at this point.
