  A third-party debt collector must give the consumer validation information, including an itemization of the debt and the date the validation period ends.

  7 citable points

  • Policy

    Regulation F covers a debt collector: a person whose principal business purpose is collecting debts, or who regularly collects debts owed or asserted to be owed to another. It generally does not cover a creditor's own employees collecting in the creditor's name, or a person who got a debt before it was in default. A debt is a consumer obligation primarily for personal, family or household purposes.

  • Deadline

    The collector must give the validation information in the initial communication, or within five days after it, or orally in the initial communication.

    Source: consumerfinance.gov, verified 2026-10-12

  • Deadline

    The validation period ends "30 days after the consumer receives or is assumed to receive the validation information". The collector may assume receipt on any date "at least five days (excluding legal public holidays identified in 5 U.S.C. 6103(a), Saturdays, and Sundays)" after it provides the information. The notice must state the date the collector will treat as the end of the validation period.

    Source: consumerfinance.gov, verified 2026-10-12

  • Policy

    The validation information includes the itemization date, the amount of the debt on that date, an itemization of interest, fees, payments and credits since then, the current amount, and a consumer response section with dispute prompts.

    Source: consumerfinance.gov, verified 2026-10-12

  • Process

    "Upon receipt of a dispute submitted by the consumer in writing within the validation period, a debt collector must cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion of the debt," until it sends the consumer a copy of verification of the debt or of a judgment, in writing or electronically. A dispute sent through an electronic medium the collector accepts, such as its email address or website portal, counts as written.

    Source: consumerfinance.gov, verified 2026-10-12

  • Process

    If the consumer asks in writing within the validation period for the name and address of the original creditor, the collector must stop collection until it provides that information.

    Source: consumerfinance.gov, verified 2026-10-12

  • Policy

    During the validation period the collector may not use collection activities or communications that overshadow or are inconsistent with the consumer's dispute rights. Failure to dispute does not count as a legal admission that the consumer owes the debt.
