<br><p style="text-align: left;">RE:<x>account</x>
<br> Dear <x>creditor</x>:
<BR><p>Someone from your company contacted me about a debt.  Please accept this as a <b> Ceasing Communication</b> notice pursuant to 15 USC 1692c Section 805 (c) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Please cease and desist from contacting me or my family by telephone at home, at work, on my cell phone or at any other location about this or any related matter. 
 You may only contact me to inform me that there will be no further collection efforts or to notify me that a specific action will be taken. Any contact you make to a 3rd party concerning me is also in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.</p>
<p>If you are collecting this debt on behalf of someone else, please provide this letter to that company so that they have notice of my demand. This letter is not an acknowledgment that I owe you money.</p>
<p>If you do not stop contacting me immediately, I may be forced to take legal action. </p>
<br><p style="text-align: right;">Thank you for your cooperation. <br>Sincerely,              <br>________________________________
