Debt validation is your right under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) to demand that a debt collector prove the debt is valid. This means they must provide information like the original creditor’s name, the amount owed, and documentation to show you owe the debt. If a collector cannot properly validate the debt, they may be required to stop collection efforts. The Kugel Law Firm can help you understand your right to validation and send a formal validation request.
