I believe there's no requirement to validate within 30 days, it's just that if they don't validate within 30 days they have to cease all collection activities until they validate.

Stan_The_Man is correct, of course.

Under the FDCPA, no CA is obligated to respond. The only thing they have to do is no attempt to collect until they do.

The only exception to this is if you live in the great state of Texas. Then a CA must answer a DV within 30 days.

From a BK years ago to:

I wish Texas would teach the US government how to do that. I've always thought it underhanded that a CA doesn't have to respond to a DV and can just sell the debt to an endless stream of other CAs.
