I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal and or contractual obligation to pay you. At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have or continue to report invalidated information to any of the three major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX ), attempts to call, text or email, this action may constitute fraud under both federal and state laws.

If your offices can provide the proper documentation as requested in the following declaration, I will require XXXX days to investigate this information and during such times all collection activity must cease and desist. Also, during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with legal counsel for a suit. This includes any listing of any information to a credit-reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated. 
If your offices fail to respond to this validation request within XXXX  days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit file and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately.
