The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) give you real leverage. Here is the debt-validation playbook we use at Crowned Credit.
1. Demand Debt Validation (FDCPA §809)
Within 30 days of first contact, send Unique Management Services, Inc. a written debt-validation letter. They must prove the debt is yours, the amount is right, and they have the legal authority to collect — or stop collecting.
2. Dispute With the Bureaus (FCRA §611)
If Unique Management Services, Inc. reported a tradeline, dispute it with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. They have 30 days to investigate; unverifiable items must be corrected or deleted.
3. Log the Calls
Write down every call from 812-285-0886: date, time, and what was said. Repeated calls, calls at odd hours, or threats can be FDCPA violations — and leverage for you.

5. Check the Statute of Limitations
