30 dispute window

CFPB guidance highlights a 30-day period after receiving validation information.

5 proof types

Collector notice, account records, payments, identity proof, fraud records.

1 PDF packet

Response letter, timeline, supporting-doc list, and copies.

Don't wait: If you received validation information, CFPB guidance says you generally have 30 days to dispute in writing. Do not ignore deadlines.

Is this you?

Made for exactly this situation

You received a debt collector notice for a debt you do not recognize

You believe the amount is wrong, already paid, too old, or connected to identity theft

You need to request verification or dispute the debt in writing

You want a record of what you sent and when

Evidence checklist

Gather these first

Debt-collection letters are stressful because they mix money, deadlines, and unfamiliar account names. A response packet helps you keep facts separate: what the collector sent, what you recognize, what you dispute, and what proof supports your position.

0/7 Tick off what you have.

Debt collector notice or validation information Shows collector name, creditor, amount, dates, and dispute instructions. Required
Your response notes States whether you dispute the debt, need more information, or believe the amount is wrong. Required
Account statements or original creditor records Helps compare the collector's claim with records you already have. If it applies
Payment proof or settlement letters Supports paid, settled, wrong-balance, or duplicate-collection disputes. If it applies
Identity theft report or police report Important if the account is not yours or was opened fraudulently. If it applies
Prior collector or creditor correspondence Shows earlier disputes, promises, account transfers, or conflicting information. If it applies
Credit report page showing the collection Useful if the collection also appears on your credit report. If it applies

Tick off what you already have — progress stays on this device.

After you hit send

How the process usually goes

STEP 1

Read the collector's validation information

The notice should tell you information about the debt and how to dispute it. Save the full notice, envelope, email, or portal screenshot.

STEP 2

Decide what you are disputing

Wrong person, wrong amount, paid debt, identity theft, duplicate account, or missing information: the packet states your position clearly.

STEP 3

Send a written response and keep proof

CFPB guidance emphasizes written disputes within the response window. Keep copies and delivery proof with your packet.

STEP 4

Track collector replies

Save any verification, account documents, or continued contact. If the issue appears on your credit report, keep that evidence together too.

Common questions

How much does it cost?

Previewing the checklist and sample packet is free. If you decide to build your own finished debt response packet, it costs $15.

What do I actually upload?

Collector notices, account statements, payment confirmations, settlement letters, identity-theft reports, credit report pages, call notes, and prior correspondence.

Can PackMyDocs tell me whether I owe the debt?

No. PackMyDocs organizes your records and drafts a response packet. It does not determine liability, negotiate, or give debt strategy advice.

What if I am near the 30-day deadline?

Do not wait. Gather the collector notice and your core proof first. The packet helps you produce a written response quickly, but you control whether and when it is sent.

Should I include sensitive identity documents?

Include only what is needed for the response you choose. Use copies, redact unrelated details where appropriate, and review the packet before sending.

Is this legal advice?

No. PackMyDocs prepares a document packet from your materials. For legal advice or debt counseling, contact a qualified professional or nonprofit counselor.
