Your Rights When The Leviton Law Firm, Ltd. Contacts You
Federal law — the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) — gives you powerful tools. Here is the playbook we use at Crowned Credit.
1. Debt Validation (FDCPA §809)
Within 30 days of first contact, send The Leviton Law Firm, Ltd. a written debt-validation letter. They must prove the debt is yours, the amount is correct, and they have the legal right to collect. If they can't, they must stop collecting and it should come off your report.
2. Dispute With the Bureaus (FCRA §611)
You can dispute the The Leviton Law Firm, Ltd. tradeline directly with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. The bureaus have 30 days to investigate. If the account can't be verified, the law requires it be deleted or corrected.
3. Cease-and-Desist
You can demand in writing that The Leviton Law Firm, Ltd. stop contacting you. They can still report and sue, but they must stop calls and letters — useful for stopping harassment while you build your case.
4. Pay-for-Delete (in writing only)
If the debt is valid and yours, you may negotiate to pay in exchange for deletion of the tradeline. Never pay on a verbal promise — get the pay-for-delete agreement in writing first.
5. Statute of Limitations
Every state has a time limit on how long a collector can sue you for a debt. If the debt is "time-barred," The Leviton Law Firm, Ltd. can still ask for payment but generally cannot win a lawsuit — and making a payment can dangerously restart the clock.
6. Protection From Harassment
