So the magic phrase is "in writing". This type of letter is known as a "cease & desist" letter or C&D. Collection agencies only have to obey this provision of the law when it is in writing.

Debt Consolidation Calculator?
Debt is a ubiquitous problem in America today. According to the Federal Reserve, as of December 2010 total consumer debt stood at $2.4 trillion. This load is divided into revolving and non-revolving debt. Revolving debt consists of mostly credit card debt. Non-revolving debt consists of mortgages, loans and other outstanding debt. Despite this seemingly overwhelming burden, most consumers still want to save money. They may consider debt consolidation as a solution. The problem is that consolidation may end up raising their monthly payment beyond their means. Debt consolidation calculators can help them figure out if this option is right for them. The calculator takes basic data and gives the consumer their estimated monthly payment. The consumer inputs the amount of each credit card, mortgage and other outstanding loans. The consumer then adjusts the terms of the estimated consolidation loan such as the interest rate and duration. With this information, the consumer can then look for a lender willing to make this loan to them.
