What to Do If Transworld Contacts You
If Transworld Systems contacts you, do not ignore them. They are one of the largest and most successful debt collection agencies in the US. They are not going to go away. That doesn't mean you should accept their claims. Instead, learn what your rights are under the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act before responding.
FDCPA
The FDCPA stipulates how and when a debt collector can communicate with you and what should be in the communication.
Validation Letter
If Transworld contacts you by phone, they must follow up within five days with a written validation letter that includes:
- Their name and mailing address
- Name of the original creditor
- Account number, if known
- Itemized account of debt
- Amount of debt
The letter must include a tear-off form that you can use to dispute the debt, along with information about your rights to dispute the debt. It should also allow you to request a verification letter.
Phone Calls
FDCPA says that a debt collector cannot call you more than seven times in seven days. This rule only applies to phone calls. They do not apply to texts, emails, or messaging.
Social Media
Transworld can contact you via social media if:
- They keep the message private.
- They indicate that they are a debt collector.
- They must allow you to opt-out of any further communication on social media.
DoNotPay can help you file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau if Transworld violates any FDCPA rights.
How to Respond to Transworld Systems
If Transworld contacts you by phone, ask them to provide the information in writing. They are required to send you a validation letter within five days of initial contact. However, they can send the letter by email or USPS. Be sure to stipulate that you want the validation letter sent to your mailing address. Do not give them your email unless you want them to contact you by email.
Verification Letter
After receiving the validation letter, request a verification letter to ensure that the agency has provided the correct information. The verification letter should ask for the following details:
- Name and address of original creditor with the account number and debt amount.
- Verification that you owe the money
- When the debt was incurred, the amount of the debt plus the last billing statement should include all penalties and interest.
- Ask if the debt is outside the statute of limitations Ask for authentication that Transworld is authorized to collect the debt on behalf of the creditor.
- Ask if the original creditor still owns the debt or if it has been sold.
If the original creditor still owns the debt, consider working with them directly. If they have sold the debt, you must work with Transworld. There is no stipulation on when the verification letter must be supplied; however, Transworld cannot contact you until they have responded. If they violate any of your rights, you can file a complaint.
