Ms. Dunn allegedly stated,"You must ask for verification within the first 30 days of being contacted. If you wait and ignore the calls and letters and the 30 days goes by, by law you are acknowledging that you owe the money.”

Either the writer or Ms. Dunn has it wrong. You're not acknowledging that you owe the money, you are merely losing your right under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act to receive verification of the debt from the party collecting the debt.

If Ms Dunn is quoted correctly, anything she does or has written about the debt collection industry must come under scrutiny.
