Cease & Desist Letters and Debt Negotiation
Cease & Desist letters apply only to third-party debt collectors and not the original creditor, unless you live in a handful of states like California, Texas, and Florida. According to the FDCPA, a collection agency is legally obligated to stop contacting a debtor upon receiving a Cease and Desist letter.
Although this may provide immediate relief to creditor calls, Cease and Desist letters do not eliminate the debt, and in fact, many times creditors will escalate their collection efforts by sending the debt to a law firm in the event that they receive a C & D. In general, Franklin Debt Relief only advises the use of Cease & Desist letters to our debt settlement clients in the event of extreme creditor harassment for this reason.
