(a) After mailing a consumer written disclosures as required under section 1.2 of this Part, a debt collector may provide subsequent correspondence to the consumer through electronic mail only if the consumer has:

1. (1) voluntarily provided an electronic mail account to the debt collector which the consumer has affirmed is not an electronic mail account furnished or owned by the consumer’s employer; and
2. (2) consented in writing to receive electronic mail correspondence from the debt collector in reference to a specific debt. A consumer’s electronic signature constitutes written consent under this section.
