What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? dc
I requested validation from professional debt collection lawyer, who is subject to the FDCPA. I sent the validation in writing and within 30 days. Lawyer never responded, yet he still filed collection action in dc court. When I attempted to call him, his office manager said that I was not entitled to talk to the lawyer since he was a senior partner, and he would not connect me to any lawyer in the firm. What recourse do I have, if any? (In the lawyer's initial correspondence to me, he said lawsuit would not be initiated if I requested validation within 30 days -- he was not telling the truth)What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
