(a) It is unlawful to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that
such form would be used to create the false belief in a consumer that a
person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the
collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes
such creditor, when in fact such person is not so
participating.
(b) Any person who violates this section shall be liable to the same extent
and in the same manner as a debt collector is liable under section 813 for
failure to comply with a provision of this title.
[15 USC 1692j.]
