The collection agency has 5 days from the first time they contact you (presumably by phone) to send you written notice of the debt which must include your right to disupte it. I beleive 5 days to send it. 5 days to receive it would depend on the postal service getting it to you on time. If they don't send you the letter and, continue trying to collect, it would be a violation of the FDCPA and you could sue them for $1000.
