Ask Perdue Brandon to verify your debt

One of your first priorities should be to make sure that the debt is actually yours. You can do so by requesting a debt validation letter from Perdue Brandon. This letter should:

  • Identify your original creditor.
  • List the total amount you owe.
  • Demonstrate that the debt is yours.
  • List any payments made and their dates.
  • Provide the age of the debt.

Don’t acknowledge your debt until you have this letter and can be certain that the debt belongs to you.

Let’s look at an example.

Example: Christina didn’t know what to make of the letter she received from Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins & Mott. In fact, she forgot about it until she received a notice of a pending lawsuit. By using Solo she was able to file an Answer with the court. Then, she set about verifying that the debt was legitimate. She requested that PBFCM validate the debt. Once she received verification of the debt, she learned that she owed money for past parking tickets. Now that she knew that the debt was hers, she was ready to move on to the process of negotiating a settlement.
