Available options when you receive a VALIDATION NOTICE:
A Validation Notice is generated when we receive a collection referral from an association client. It may include all unpaid items claimed by an association that are not time barred. The Validation Notice is mailed to the property owner(s) at the address on record with the association as well as any possible alternate addresses.
Your options upon receipt of a Validation Notice:
- You may submit payment in full via money order, cashier’s check or certified funds payable to Vonda J. Dunn, P.C. for immediate credit to your account. You may also pay with a personal check; however, it may take up to thirty days to finalize credit to your account using this form of payment.
- You may request a payment plan. Click here to email a request for a Payment Plan Package.
- You may call or write to us by the date shown in your Validation Notice to dispute all or part of the debt. We must stop collection on any amount you dispute until we send you information that shows you owe the debt. To exercise this option we recommend you provide all relevant material supporting your position to allow us to fully research the matter. Please include your name, account number, phone number, email address, mailing address, association name and property address as part of your dispute notification.
- You may write to us by the date shown in your Validation Notice to ask for the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor. We must stop collection until we send you that information.
