Product: Debt collection

This is to inform you that I 've recently pulled my credit report and noticed that there 's a collection listing from your agency on my credit report Bank of America, Account Number: XXXX . I have never been notified of this collection action or that I owed the debt. This letter is to inform you that I would like a verification of the debt and your ability to collect this money from me.   Under the FDCPA, I have the right to request a validation of this debt. I request that you prove that I am indeed the party who is contractually obligated to pay off this debt.   I hope you are aware that reporting any invalidated information to major credit bureaus  may co nstitute defamation of character. In addition, you must also be aware that until you validate this debt, you can not continue collection activities or report this information to the credit bureaus. Non-compliance with this request  may land y our company in serious legal trouble with the Federal Trade Commissi on ( FTC ) and  other state/federal agencies.   Please attach copies of the following document s : 1. Agreement with your client that authorizes you    to collect on this alleged debt.
2. Agreement that bears signature of the alleged debtor where he promises to pay the original creditor.
3. Complete payment history on this account, t  o prove that the amount you wish to collect is accurate.     In accordance with the requirements of the FCRA as stated below, I am hereby requesting your complete compliance with any and all of the provisions : *FCRA  611, Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C.    1681i ] *Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material.    *Certification of accuracy of information.

Additional information. As part of, or in addition to, the notice under clause ( ii ), a consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer in writing no later than 5 business days after the reinsertion date .

I received no such notification. This is a serious violation of the FCRA, and I reserve the right to pursue further action. Your agency may avoid such action by immediately deleting this listing from my credit report.
If an Item Reappears : All violations of the FCRA are treated seriously and can result in a {$1000.00} fine, payable to you, should you suc  cessfully sue the offender and win in court. Sometimes merely notifying a creditor or credit bureau of a violation is enough to get the item removed.   Should an offender refuse to cooperate with you after notification of FCRA violations, and you are not willing or able to go to court, you could report the violation to the Federal Trade Commissio n ( FTC ) or  the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and let them pursue the matte r. Make sure the offender is aware you are reporting them  to  XXXX  or both of these  XXXX  agencies. When governmental agencies confront such problems, however, the consumer isnt eligible for the {$1000.00} statutory reward that might otherwise be payable should the matter be resolved in the consumers favor in court.                           As it stated in the Verification Letter from  XXXX  on  XXXX   XXXX ,    2017 " If an  item says, '' Deleted '' we have REMOVED it from your credit report and TAKEN STEPS so it does NOT REAPPEAR ''. These statement can be found as proof in the letter as provide i n Attach  Documents.
