Dear Sir/Madam,
Re: Account Number

I am requesting that you cease and desist with your efforts to collect on the debt referenced above. I wish to deal with the original creditor and not a collection agency.

Therefore, I request that you cease collection efforts immediately or face legal action under State and Federal consumer protection laws. I hope you would consider giving this letter the attention it deserves.

Sincerely,
Your Signature
