Hmmm, I never thought about or know about the 1K dollar violation billing dilemma. I don't mind "empowering" them to pay me for continuing to harass without verifying the debt. RP, do you have a code I can reference on that one?
Yes, I use the FDCPA debt verification process when I respond.
Weasel, I stopped filing back in 2000. I sent three certified letters with attached tax attorneys opinions addressed to me over the course of 100 days hoping for a reply or clarification as to whether I was liable for an income tax in my case.
Surprise! NEVER a response. Now, I just respond with a Conditional Response and FDCPA verification request every 2 oe 3 months with my correspondence. I will begin filing a statement this year as Weispt advises,

Perhaps this will slow the flow of letters requesting my "confession!"
On a related note, I am not liking the increase in "intent to levy" letters I am getting, so within the month, I am cutting my last checks and closing my bank accounts. It's harder to argue when they already have emptied your savings legally OR illegally.
