When you receive a letter from a Debt Collector, you must dispute the debt within 30 days, or it shall be consider valid. This is want the Debt Collector or lawyer wants you to do, "NOT DISPUTING THE DEBT GIVE THEM THE POWER." Answer any and every letter from a Debt Collector or Lawyer and demand VALIDATION OF DEBT.

Here is the rule regarding Validation

15 U.S.C. § 1692g - Validation of debts

a) Notice of debt; contents


Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing--


(1) the amount of the debt;

(2) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed;

(3) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector;

(4) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and

(5) a statement that, upon the consumer's written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor.


(b) Disputed debts


If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection (a) of this section that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector.


(c) Admission of liability



The failure of a consumer to dispute the validity of a debt under this section may not be construed by any court as an admission of liability by the consumer.
