Is Your Envelope “Benign” Under The FDCPA?

FDCPA Defense

The FDCPA prohibits a collector from placing “any language or symbol” on a debt collection envelope, other than the collector’s address.

A collector cannot even put its own name on the envelope, unless the collector is certain the name does not indicate that the company is in the debt collection business.
