## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Debt Recovery & Civil Enforcement](https://ailawframework.com/practice/debt-recovery-and-civil-enforcement.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List each item the contract says a statement of account must show, and any period the contract states. Do not invent a period and do not draft the statement. |
| What the lawyer must review | You decide the contents. No statute setting the period or contents of a credit statement was opened. Section 1692g requires validation disclosures in an initial communication by a debt collector. It is not a periodic statement of account, and it does not set how often a creditor must send one. A figure that is not in the ledger is not added. Model Rule 1.4(b) applies to what you tell your client about a missing item. You prepare any statement that goes to the debtor. |
