15 U.S.C. § 1692j — Furnishing certain deceptive forms

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.

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 1692k of this title for failure to comply with a provision of this subchapter.
