FDCPA Violation · New York
Is a debt collector pretending to be a lawyer, sheriff, or government agency in New York?

Use our engine to generate an ironclad Federal Cease & Desist and Debt Validation notice in under 60 seconds.
Your rights in New York
Collection agencies rely on fear and intimidation. Here is the exact consumer rights you hold over them right now.
Federal protection — 15 U.S.C. § 1692e(1) and (3)
It is unlawful to falsely represent that a communication is from an attorney, a government agency, or any law enforcement entity.
New York adds: NY GBL § 349 + NYC Consumer Protection Law
Treble damages up to $1,000 plus attorney's fees under § 349. State remedies stack on top of federal FDCPA damages.
The $1,000 penalty box
$1,000 federal statutory damages, plus state UDAP penalties — and these cases often expose collectors to FTC and state AG action as well.
Evidence to lock in your case
Save the letter, envelope, voicemail, or caller ID screenshot showing the false representation.
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.
