1. Demand Debt Validation (FDCPA §809)
Within 30 days of first contact, send Indebted USA 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 Indebted USA 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 888-306-3160: date, time, and what was said. Repeated calls, calls at odd hours, or threats can be FDCPA violations — and leverage for you.
4. Send a Cease-and-Desist
You can demand in writing that Indebted USA Inc 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
