The following are the legal and factual reasons supporting my request : Reasons for Dispute XXXX. Violation of Debt Validation Process : Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ), the collection agency XXXX XXXX was required to cease all debt collection and validation activities until receiving complete verification of the debt, if a request was received within 30 days of receipt of the initial notice.

XXXX. Lack of Legal Ownership of the Debt : XXXX XXXX has indicated in its response to the CFPB that it is not the owner of the account in question and only acted as an authorized representative of Spectrum. The information reported to XXXX was generated without adequate verification by the original creditor, violating the consumer 's right to transparency of information under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ). 
3. Relevance of Florida Credit Law : Under Florida state law, the statute of limitations on debts limits the period during which a debt may be legally pursued.
