Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Cease and Desist Letter?

Can I send a Cease and Desist letter to an attorney acting as Debt collector on behalf of the HOA that I live in. There has already been a lien filed by the attorney for $900.00. We have the HOA payments up to day and on time now. The monies that are being collected on are fees incurred by the attorney.

Re: Cease and Desist Letter?

Attorneys acting as debt collectors are subject to the fair debt collection practices act. This means that they have to give you notice of your right to seek verification of the debt and can be sued for engaging in a harrassing debt collection practice. A strong letter from an attorney who practices consumer law may be enough to make him back away.
