1. Demand Debt Validation (FDCPA §809)
Within 30 days of first contact, send Hunter Warfield 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 Hunter Warfield 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 866-494-9902: date, time, and what was said. Repeated calls, calls at odd hours, or threats can be FDCPA violations — and leverage for you.

You can demand in writing that Hunter Warfield stop calling you entirely. The calls must stop, even though they may still report or pursue other legal steps.
5. Check the Statute of Limitations
Every state limits how long a collector can sue on a debt. If the debt is time-barred, Hunter Warfield Inc generally cannot win a lawsuit — and a payment could dangerously restart that clock.
