FDCPA Violation · Washington
Is a debt collector collecting on a debt that was discharged in bankruptcy in Washington?
Force them to stop instantly — and build your case for $1,000+ in statutory damages.
Under federal law, this exact tactic is a violation of 11 U.S.C. § 524 + 15 U.S.C. § 1692e(2)(A). Pursuing a discharged debt is both an FDCPA violation AND contempt of the bankruptcy court, which can trigger sanctions and attorneys' fees. Use our engine to generate an ironclad Federal Cease & Desist and Debt Validation notice in under 60 seconds.
Your rights in Washington
Collection agencies rely on fear and intimidation. Here is the exact consumer rights you hold over them right now.
Federal protection — 11 U.S.C. § 524 + 15 U.S.C. § 1692e(2)(A)
Once a debt is discharged in bankruptcy, the discharge injunction permanently bars any further collection activity — calls, letters, lawsuits, or credit reporting.
Washington adds: Washington Collection Agency Act, RCW § 19.16
Treble damages up to $25,000 under the Consumer Protection Act. State remedies stack on top of federal FDCPA damages.
The $1,000 penalty box
$1,000 FDCPA statutory damages, plus bankruptcy court sanctions, plus mandatory attorneys' fees under § 524.
Evidence to lock in your case
Pull a copy of your discharge order from PACER or your bankruptcy attorney. Note the discharge date and the case number.
Crucial rule: Once you send an official written Cease & Desist notice, the collector is legally banned from contacting you again — except to confirm they are stopping or to take you to court. If they call you one more time after receiving this letter, you have an open-and-shut lawsuit.
