FAQs+
Can I use this if I do not owe the debt?
Yes. One primary lane is for disputes where you do not believe you owe the debt.
Can I use this if I just need more information?
Yes. The workflow also supports a validation lane for requesting more information and documentation about the debt.
Will I see the final packet before mailing?
Yes. PostalForm generates the packet PDF first so you can review the letter, optional summary page, exhibit index, and supporting documents before checkout.
