Know Your Rights Under the FDCPA when Dealing with Cavalry Debt Collection

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a federal law created to protect consumers from unfair debt collection practices—including common tactics that are often abusive, intimidating, and qualify as harassment. A critical aspect of this law states that Cavalry must validate your debt in writing and name your original lender and amount.

In addition, you have the right to tell Cavalry how to communicate with you. You can ask them to stop calling you, only call during certain hours, use only a specific phone number, or only contact you by email. All debt collectors must respect your wishes.

If you suspect Cavalry or any other debt collector didn't follow FDCPA practices and may have violated your rights, and you're not sure what to do, DoNotPay can help. Make DoNoPay your 'robot lawyer' and determine this for you—and file a complaint with the FDCPA on your behalf.

If Cavalry Contacts You, Remember These Tips

Here are a few essential points to remember before you answer a call from Cavalry:

Call back to speak to Cavalry at your convenient time.
Stay calm.
Do not feel pressured, no matter what they say.
Remember your rights under the FDCPA.

Most importantly, do not give anyone who contacts you any personal information unless they verify their identity in writing. Anyone can call you, posing as someone from Cavalry or any other debt collector. Read on for more important tips.

Dealing with debt collectors may seem like an affordable solution but as soon as the problematic situation takes its toll on your mental and emotional health, it is just not worth the money you are saving. You can choose a less stressful solution by recruiting DoNotPay to speak to Cavalry debt collection on your behalf.

Why and How to Get a Debt Validation Letter From Cavalry

Before speaking to Cavalry, or any debt collector, it's essential to ask for a debt validation letter—or have DoNotPay handle this for you.

Here's why you should not skip this critical step—and what a debt validation letter should include:

Sometimes the debt is a mistake. It may not be yours, or maybe it's already paid. Debt collectors buy and sell consumers' debt so often that errors are not uncommon.

Even if the debt is yours and still outstanding, under the FDCPA, a debt collector must validate a debt by telling you the following information in writing:

Name, address, and phone number of the person contacting you
Debt amount, noting any fees and collection costs separately
Name of the original creditor
What the debt is for and when it was incurred
Whether you owe the debt or someone else

Cavalry is a third-party lender, not your original creditor. Sometimes, third-party lenders cannot validate a debt by providing all the necessary information. Under the FDCPA, if a debt collector cannot validate a debt, they can not collect it.

How To Deal with Cavalry Debt Collection on your Own, Step-by-Step

When Cavalry contacts you, here's what to do:

If someone from Cavalry calls you, ask the caller to identify themselves and verify that it is Cavalry. Ask them to contact you in writing.
Respond to Cavalry's written request by asking for a debt validation letter. Let the company know you will require this to validate your debt before proceeding further.
Once you receive a debt validation letter, you can begin to negotiate. Prior to negotiating, decide if you would like to agree on a settlement and what percentage of your balance you are willing to pay.
Understand that when you settle a debt, it often remains on your credit report for seven years—and your credit score is likely to drop. But, there are ways to remove it sooner, and DoNotPay can help clean your credit report.

If you are not confident in your negotiation skills or need an easier solution, let DoNotPay deal with Cavalry for you.
