Debt Validation And Information Request

Summary

Under the FDCPA, you can request debt validation from collectors, including proof of debt ownership. The Dodd-Frank Act allows homeowners to request information on loan qualification. If a lender is unresponsive, report to the CFPB. The statute of limitations for Dodd-Frank claims is generally 3 years, or 6 years for fraud. If a lender is bankrupt, check with the FDIC or CFPB. Both FDCPA and Dodd-Frank apply to private lenders. Violations can lead to fines or regulatory actions. The Dodd-Frank Act has strong enforcement capabilities. Email requests are valid if detailed and documented.

what is the Qualified Written Reguest, QWR.?
A Qualified Written Request (QWR) is a written correspondence that homeowners can use to request information or raise issues regarding their mortgage servicing. Under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), the servicer must acknowledge the request within five business days and respond within * business days.
Would you like to know how to draft a QWR?
So it sounds to me like these tow letters go to two diffrrent parties?
Yes, you are correct! The debt validation letter under the FDCPA is sent to the debt collector, while the Qualified Written Request (QWR) is sent to your mortgage servicer.
Do you need help drafting either of these letters?
please write a letter under the QWR.
Sure! Here's a template for a Qualified Written Request (QWR) under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA):

So under the FDCPA and the RESPA I can request these items is there anything as a homeowner under the Dodd Frank Act the ability to pay? I was unable to qualify for the loan. Can I request how they qualified i.e. appraisals too ?
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, homeowners have the right to request information regarding the evaluation of their ability to repay a loan. You can request details on how the lender assessed your ability to repay, including the appraisal used for the loan qualification.

Would you need any more assistance with your legal matters?
Is it more powerful for me to say that as a homeowner i have the right to reguest certain documenst uder the UCC rather than the DCGPA?
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) typically governs commercial transactions, including sales and secured transactions. It's not usually applied in the context of consumer debt collection, which is more appropriately addressed under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
Key Points:
- FDCPA: Governs debt collection practices and provides consumer protections.
- UCC: Generally applies to commercial transactions, not typically consumer debt.
Would you like more information on the application of these laws?
Wahts the next step if they do not anser you?
If the debt collector does not respond within the *-day period under the FDCPA, you can take the following steps:

- Send a follow-up letter asking for the required information again.
- Report the debt collector to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office.
- Consider consulting with a consumer rights attorney for further action.
Would you like more information on how to file a complaint?
Can I sue under the FDCPA ?
Case Rating: *.
Yes, you can sue under the FDCPA if the debt collector violates your rights. Common violations include:
- Harassment or abuse.
- False or misleading representations.
- Failure to provide validation of debt.
Would you like information on how to start a lawsuit under the FDCPA?
Is there a statute of limiations under the dodd farnk act. Please note I still have an active case in federal and sate court. Im just worried that maybe i should have reported the dodd-frank violaltion earlier?
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the statute of limitations for bringing an action is generally:
- 3 years from the date of the violation for most claims.
- 6 years in cases involving fraud.
Since you have an active case, consider discussing this with your attorney to ensure timely reporting.
Would you like more detailed information on the specific provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act?
But I I ask for sicovery under dodd-frank and they dont reply will this start the statute ?
If you request discovery under the Dodd-Frank Act and they don't reply, it doesn't automatically start the statute of limitations period. The statute generally starts from the date of the violation.
Do you need guidance on how to proceed if they don't respond to your discovery request?
6 years from the time that you discovered the fraud ?
Yes, under the Dodd-Frank Act, you generally have 6 years from the time you discovered the fraud to bring a claim. Would you like more information on how to proceed with your case given this timeline?
who would you send the Dodd-frank act letter to?
You should send the Dodd-Frank Act letter to your mortgage lender. This includes requesting information on how they assessed your ability to repay the loan, appraisals, and other relevant documentation.
Do you need help with anything else related to your case?
do you mean the debt collector?
No, the Dodd-Frank Act letter should be sent to your mortgage lender, not the debt collector.
Would you like more information on what to do if your mortgage lender doesn't reply to your Dodd-Frank Act letter?
What do you do if the the lender is no longer in busimess?
If the lender is no longer in business, you can try the following steps:
- Contact the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to find out if the lender's assets were taken over by another entity.
- Check with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) for guidance.
- Consult with a consumer rights attorney for additional advice.
Would you like more information on how to proceed with one of these steps?
I know that they went into bankruptcy liguidation as charged off debt.
If the lender went into bankruptcy liquidation and the debt was charged off, you should:
- Check if another entity acquired the lender's assets or responsibilities.
- Contact the FDIC or CFPB for guidance.
- Consult with a consumer rights attorney to understand the implications for your case and potential next steps.
Would you like more detailed guidance on contacting the FDIC or CFPB?
if an entity buys a debt from the orginal creditor when the homeowner is in default does that entity have a secured debt?
If an entity buys a debt from the original creditor when the homeowner is in default, the entity may have a secured debt, provided the original debt was secured (e.g., by a mortgage). The security interest typically transfers with the debt.
Do you need guidance on how to verify this or any specific concerns about your case?
So If I do not have the name of the lender can i ask the debt collector the history of the laon going back to the orginal creditor and maybe find out the lender's name?
Yes, you can request the debt collector to provide the history of the loan, including details of the original creditor. This will help you identify the lender's name.
Would you like a template for this request?
Ok. I want the dood farank act but since i dont know the lenders name can you rewwrite the letter to the debt collector to include the doddfrank act?
Sure! Here's a revised letter to the debt collector, including a request under the Dodd-Frank Act:

Yes, you can still seek protection under the FDCPA and Dodd-Frank Act even if your lender is a private lender, as long as the debt collector is attempting to collect a consumer debt.

Would you like more details on how to proceed with your complaint?

My questions so waht does a defendanedt do when citing abuse of discretion of a judge ? Since when does a judge get to decide my right to appeal? Is this right?
In Massachusetts, if you believe a judge abused their discretion by striking your notice of appeal, you can consider the following steps:
- Motion for Reconsideration: Requesting the judge to reconsider their decision.
- File a Petition for Relief: You may file a petition for relief in the appellate court.
- Consult an Attorney: For guidance and to explore legal options.
Would you like more information on how to file a motion for reconsideration or petition for relief?
I filed a motion for reconsideration with the judge. Denied based on aopinion and a mispallication of the law. What is a Petition for Relief? Who reviews it?
A Petition for Relief is a formal request to a higher appellate court to review a decision made by a lower court. It is used when there are allegations of legal errors or abuses of discretion by the judge.
Would you like more information on how to file a Petition for Relief?
Ifthe petion for Relief is denied whats the next step after that?
If the Petition for Relief is denied, the next step would be to consider filing an appeal to the highest state court, such as the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, or exploring federal court options if applicable.
