Statute-aware

Rules library

Every statute Pleadwright enforces before a draft leaves the system. Each entry shows the controlling statute, a plain-English summary, and the sample enforcement the agent runs against it. Below the card grid, the codified rule registry lists every entry with its jurisdiction tag, in-force date, reviewer, version, and the dated revisions trail. Last coded for the FDCPA + TCPA framework Pleadwright ships against, with the FCRA § 1681b permissible-purpose gate pending partner sign-off.

Reg F validation notice — 30-day dispute window (Model Form B-1)
A debt collector who has not previously provided a validation notice must send a written notice within five days of the initial communication with the consumer. The notice must include, among other things, a statement that the consumer has 30 days from receipt to dispute the debt in writing — and that, on a written dispute, the collector will obtain and mail verification of the debt before collection activity resumes.

Reg. F12 C.F.R. Part 1006, App. B Model Form B-1
Model Form B-1 — Reg F validation-notice safe harbor
Model Form B-1 in Appendix B to Part 1006 is a CFPB-provided safe-harbor option for the written validation notice under § 1006.34. The option is distinct from the underlying notice obligations: a collector may use an unmodified B-1 or a substantially similar form when the applicable safe-harbor conditions are met, but every compliant notice is not required to be an unmodified B-1.

Open the post-demo validation artifact
Reg. F12 C.F.R. § 1006.34 (b)(4)
Identification of the original creditor
Where the current creditor is not the original creditor, the validation notice must contain the name of the original creditor and the name and address of the current creditor. A miss on either element opens a safe-harbor challenge even when every other § 1006.34(b) element is present.
Federalv1.0.0Effective 2026-08-22
Open the post-demo validation artifact
Reg. F12 C.F.R. § 1006.34 (b)(7)
Failure to dispute is not an admission of liability
A debt collector's validation notice must contain a statement that the consumer's failure to dispute the validity of the debt within the 30-day period is not an admission of liability by the consumer. Omitting the element can affect whether a Model B-1 safe-harbor option is available, regardless of how the other four elements are presented.
Federalv1.0.0Effective 2026-08-22
Open the post-demo validation artifact
Reg. F12 C.F.R. § 1006.18 (b), (c)
Required disclosures on initial communication with the consumer
In the debt collector's initial communication with a consumer — and on every subsequent written communication — the collector must disclose that the communication is from a debt collector, and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. The Mini-Miranda block sits at the foot of the B-1 validation notice for the written path.

Draft a letter Open the post-demo validation artifact
Reg. F12 C.F.R. § 1006.34 (b)(6)
Itemization of the debt and current balance
The validation notice must contain an itemization of the debt, including the current balance, the name of the current creditor, the name of the original creditor, and a breakdown of the charges, payments, fees, and interest that produced the asserted balance. A balance that does not reconcile to its ledger is treated as misstated under § 1692e (false representation of the amount of the debt).

FCRA15 U.S.C. § 1681b (a)–(d)
Permissible purpose for consumer reports
A consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only for the purposes enumerated in 15 U.S.C. § 1681b(a) — and a prospective user must certify the permissible purpose in writing under § 1681b(b) before the report is furnished. The § 1681b(d) laundry list pins the run of enumerated purposes a furnisher can rely on.

§ Codified rule registry

Every codified rule, in one grid.

Full audit history opens at each rule. Citations, jurisdictions, in-force dates, current versions, and the dated revisions trail.

Every codified rule rendered with family, citation, rule name, jurisdiction, in-force date, version, and the most recent dated revisions.
Family	Citation	Rule	Jurisdiction	In force	Version	Revisions
FDCPA	`15 U.S.C. § 1692g (a)–(e)`	30-day validation notice	Federal	September 12, 2024	v1.5.0	Aug 24, 2026 · v1.5.0Split the prior § 1692g(b)/(d) conjoined prose out of this rule into the standalone `fdcpa-1692g-d-cease-collection` row. This row carries the validation-notice scope explicitly (a)–(e); § 1692g(b), § 1692g(d), § 1692c(c), and § 1692e(11) remain separate statutory triggers in the catalog. Apr 22, 2026 · v1.4.0Reordered disclosure items so the dispute-window bullet sits first; verified CFPB 2025 Q4 guidance on safe-harbor element ordering. Nov 3, 2025 · v1.3.0Added the § 1692g(d) cease-of-collection enforcement sample — pause outbound activity at day 31 if no written dispute landed. +2 earlier revisions
FDCPA	`15 U.S.C. § 1692e(11) (11)`	Third-party debt communication — Mini-Miranda + prior-contact disclosure	Federal	September 12, 2024	v1.4.0	Aug 23, 2026 · v1.4.0Q0 counsel-reviewed baseline — narrowed predicate from "every initial communication regardless of medium" to "(commTarget === "third_party" && priorContact === true)" so the Mini-Miranda block fires only on third-party debt communication with prior contact. Cross-pinned § 1692c(b) (third-party communications) and 12 C.F.R. § 1006.6 (Regulation F — initial communications with consumers) into fullCitation; home authority § 1692e(11) and subsection (11) unchanged so findRuleByStatuteCite still resolves the Mini-Miranda needle from §1692e(11) only. Feb 9, 2026 · v1.3.0Confirmed SMS is a covered medium after CFPB 2026 reaffirmation; updated enforcement sample to include reply-threads where the consumer did not start the conversation. Jun 4, 2025 · v1.2.0Added voicemail-script coverage so the block stamps onto plivo/Twilio assistant scripts at draft time. +1 earlier revisions
FDCPA	`15 U.S.C. § 1692c(c) (c)`	Cease-communication upon written request	Federal	October 21, 2024	v1.2.0	Dec 15, 2025 · v1.2.0Locked the § 1692c(c)(2) "we may invoke" template at module load; operator override now writes an audit row before any further dispatch. Apr 30, 2025 · v1.1.0Moved cease-request gate from intake-time check to per-dispatch check so a request landing mid-relationship halts outbound activity cleanly. Oct 21, 2024 · v1.0.0Initial codification — intake-time gate + locked exception notice template.
TCPA	`47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(c)(1) (c)(1)`	Telephonic contact — call window 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. consumer local	Federal	November 4, 2024	v1.3.0	May 30, 2026 · v1.3.0Closed the "operator local clock" override — a manual late-call now requires a typed reason that lands in the audit row before dispatch. Aug 12, 2025 · v1.2.0Resolved timezone at scheduling time against the matter address deliverability record (not the firm TZ) so a relocator is hit cleanly across DST transitions. Nov 4, 2024 · v1.0.0Initial codification — 8 a.m.–9 p.m. local consumer-time dispatch gate.
TCPA	`47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(3) (b)(3)`	Revocation of prior express consent — TCPA opt-out	Federal	November 4, 2024	v1.2.0	Jan 14, 2026 · v1.2.0Re-affirmed post-Hall v. Smosh posture — once revocation lands, subsequent dials accrue $500–$1,500 per call as standalone violations; enforcement sample updated accordingly. Jul 22, 2025 · v1.1.0Added in-app revoke intake as a recognized revocation channel; "STOP" SMS keyword routed to the same flag. Nov 4, 2024 · v1.0.0Initial codification — 10-business-day revocation closure + per-channel recognition of opt-out signals.
FDCPA	`15 U.S.C. § 1692g(b) (b)`	30-day written dispute window — verification obligation	Federal	December 2, 2024	v1.3.0	Aug 24, 2026 · v1.3.0Removed the § 1692g(d) prose from this rule's enforcement and rationale — the cease-of-collection language now belongs to the standalone `fdcpa-1692g-d-cease-collection` row. This rule covers the § 1692g(b) verification obligation only (30-day dispute window + verification-upload path); the § 1692g(d) cease-of-collection obligation is its own rule so a cite of either subsection resolves cleanly to one rule. Mar 11, 2026 · v1.2.0Added the § 1692g(d) cease-of-collection stamp to every dispute reply so the hold-down projection lands in the audit row, not in operator memory. Sep 8, 2025 · v1.1.0Rebased the 30-day clock on § 1692g-notice-sent (rather than matter-open) to match CFPB query set used in 2025 enforcement. +1 earlier revisions
FDCPA	`15 U.S.C. § 1692g(d) (d)`	Cease-of-collection pending verification	Federal	August 24, 2026	v1.0.0	Aug 24, 2026 · v1.0.0Initial codification — cease-of-collection scoped to § 1692g(d) only. Distinguishes the rule from § 1692g(b) (verification obligation) and from § 1692c(c) (cease-communication upon written request). The brief referenced § 1692g(c) as a citation-scope note; the statutory authority sits at § 1692g(d).
FDCPA	`15 U.S.C. § 1692e (2), (3), (10), (13)`	False, deceptive, or misleading representations	Federal + State	February 18, 2025	v1.2.0	Jun 4, 2026 · v1.2.0Expanded § 1692e(13) draft-time check to include scheduled-court-date references; a named "court date" without a calendar entry now blocks dispatch. Aug 19, 2025 · v1.1.0Added "balance without per-component breakdown" prohibition so an asserted balance with no itemization is held pre-dispatch. Feb 18, 2025 · v1.0.0Initial codification — four § 1692e subsections ((2)(3)(10)(13)) as hard pre-dispatch checks.
FDCPA	`15 U.S.C. § 1692d (a), (b), (c), (d)`	Harassment, oppression, or abuse	Federal + State	February 18, 2025	v1.1.0	Jul 15, 2026 · v1.1.0Added a no-back-to-back-day cadence lock — two consecutive calendar-day touches with no operator flag now log a § 1692d(b) draft-time refusal. Sep 29, 2025 · v1.0.0Initial codification — one-touch-per-day cap + lexicon harassment band pre-dispatch check.
Reg. F	`12 C.F.R. § 1006.34 (a)(1)(ii), (b)(3)`	Reg F validation notice — 30-day dispute window (Model Form B-1)	Federal	August 22, 2026	v1.0.0	Aug 22, 2026 · v1.0.0Initial codification — 30-day receipt-based validation period + § 1006.34(b)(3) cease-of-collection, with the B-1 itemization date retained as a product workflow anchor.
Reg. F	`12 C.F.R. Part 1006, App. B Model Form B-1`	Model Form B-1 — Reg F validation-notice safe harbor	Federal	August 22, 2026	v1.0.0	Aug 22, 2026 · v1.0.0Initial codification — Model Form B-1 layout as the rendering literal for the post-demo validation artifact.
Reg. F	`12 C.F.R. § 1006.34 (b)(4)`	Identification of the original creditor	Federal	August 22, 2026	v1.0.0	Aug 22, 2026 · v1.0.0Initial codification — current/original creditor identity block on the Model Form B-1 render.
Reg. F	`12 C.F.R. § 1006.34 (b)(7)`	Failure to dispute is not an admission of liability	Federal	August 22, 2026	v1.0.0	Aug 22, 2026 · v1.0.0Initial codification — no-admission element rendered verbatim from the locked disclosure string.
Reg. F	`12 C.F.R. § 1006.18 (b), (c)`	Required disclosures on initial communication with the consumer	Federal	August 22, 2026	v1.0.0	Aug 22, 2026 · v1.0.0Initial codification — § 1006.18(b)/(c) Mini-Miranda block paired with the § 1692e(11) row on the source map so a single artifact satisfies both anchors.
Reg. F	`12 C.F.R. § 1006.34 (b)(6)`	Itemization of the debt and current balance	Federal	August 22, 2026	v1.0.0	Aug 22, 2026 · v1.0.0Initial codification — hard itemization reconciliation as a pre-render assertion; zero deltaCents gates the artifact.
FCRA	`15 U.S.C. § 1681b (a)–(d)`	Permissible purpose for consumer reports	Federal	August 25, 2026	v1.0.0	Aug 25, 2026 · v1.0.0Q0 promotion — promote the v0.1.0 stub to v1.0.0: stamp the partner + effective-date onto the registry row, splice into the reviewer AI system-prompt (CITATION_HEADER_MAP canonical 15 USC §1681b(a), new fcra CATEGORY_OF_CITATION bucket, § 1681b STATUTE_BLOCKS entry, and a CHANNEL_EXAMPLES.letter omission example) so the rule now surfaces readers via /risk-scan + /letter-risk-audit. Rule status in the gate remains UNRESOLVED until a partner signs off — the promotion is a registry + AI-prompt correction, NOT a status flip. Aug 23, 2026 · v0.1.0Initial codification — § 1681b(a)–(d) enumerated purposes + § 1681b(b) certification requirement. Lands UNRESOLVED in the gate; surfaces read-only on /coverage/fcra until a partner signs it off.
