Follow the “Seven-by-Seven rule”
a. Use no more than 7 words per line and no more than 7 lines per visual. b. If you need more words, make sub-points below the main point.
Debt collectors are not permitted to try to publicly shame you into paying money that you may or may not owe. In fact, they're not even allowed to contact you by postcard. They cannot publish the names of people who owe money. They can't even discuss the matter with anyone other than you, your spouse, or your attorney.
Debt collectors cannot harass or abuse you. They cannot swear, threaten to illegally harm you or your property, threaten you with illegal actions, or falsely threaten you with actions they do not intend to take. They also cannot make repeated calls over a short period to annoy or harass you.

The "777 Rule" in Relationships
Every Seven Days, Go on a Date: Setting aside time for a regular date night every week is essential for maintaining a connection. This could be a dinner date, a movie night, or any activity that allows the couple to spend quality time together.
Purpose: Prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from consumers if they are behind in paying their bills or a creditor's records mistakenly make it appear that they are.
The debt collection lawsuit, or what is known as the rule 3.740 collection case, allows debt collectors to sue anyone with a debt of not more than $25,000. That can be any kind of debt collector, from a credit card company to a medical provider, to a lawyer suing a client/former client for unpaid fees.
This practice, debt buying, is legal and commonly employed by collection agencies seeking to recoup the money owed to creditors. However, there are regulations in place to govern this process and protect consumers from unfair practices.
The Rule of 7 asserts that a potential customer should encounter a brand's marketing messages at least seven times before making a purchase decision. When it comes to engagement for your marketing campaign, this principle emphasizes the importance of repeated exposure for enhancing recognition and improving retention.
One "rule of thumb" to determine whether an age difference is "socially acceptable" holds that a person should never date someone whose age is less than half their own plus seven years.
Children under the age of seven cannot be held to have capacity, while there is a rebuttable presumption that a minor aged 7 to 14 lacks capacity; for those aged 14 to 21, there is a rebuttable presumption of capacity.
As discussed earlier, keeping presentations clear and engaging is the goal of the 7×7 rule. This means limiting each slide to around seven lines of text (excluding the title) with each line containing roughly seven words. This helps focus the audience on the main points.

The rule of seven, otherwise referred to as the marketing rule of seven, is a powerful and popular marketing tool that professionals often use to prime buyers to make a purchase. The concept asserts that if you see a product advertised seven times, you're more likely to have enough information about it to purchase it.
Even though your card issuer "writes off" the account, you're still responsible for paying the debt. Whether you repay the amount or not, the missed payments and the charge-off will appear on your credit reports for seven years and likely cause severe credit score damage.
The bottom line. While debt collectors may not automatically sue over a $3,000 credit card debt, they have the right to pursue legal action if they believe it's a viable option.
Can you dispute a debt if it was sold to a collection agency? Your rights are the same as if you were dealing with the original creditor. If you do not believe you should pay the debt, for example, if a debt is stature barred or prescribed, then you can dispute the debt.
