What most people don't know about The Stuttman Law Group PC:
The Stuttman Law Group PC holds an active New York City debt-collection license (No. 2109624-DCA) on file with the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs (predecessor to DCWP), listing its address of record in Purchase, NY. That license status is a verifiable starting point: if a caller claims to represent The Stuttman Law Group PC but cannot confirm this license or provide written validation of the specific debt, that is a red flag worth documenting before you pay anything.
Why Is The Stuttman Law Group PC on My Credit Report?
The Stuttman Law Group PC typically collects consumer accounts, post-judgment collection. A collection like this usually lands on your report because:
- ✅ An original account (a consumer accounts, for example) went unpaid and was charged off.
- ✅ The account was placed with The Stuttman Law Group PC to collect on behalf of the original creditor.
- ✅ The Stuttman Law Group PC furnished the account to one or more of the three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion).
Important: a collection account on its own does not prove you owe the debt or that the amount is correct. That's where your rights come in.
Your Rights When The Stuttman Law Group PC 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 Stuttman Law Group PC 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 Stuttman Law Group PC 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 Stuttman Law Group PC 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 Stuttman Law Group PC can still ask for payment but generally cannot win a lawsuit — and making a payment can dangerously restart the clock.
6. Protection From Harassment
The FDCPA bars The Stuttman Law Group PC from calling at unreasonable hours, threatening you, or lying. Every violation is potential leverage — and may entitle you to damages.
