We have confirmed with our client, who placed the account for collections per our contract, that this balance is still unpaid and is XXXX XXXX 's responsibility. We have mailed the complainant a Validation of the Debt letter. '' On or about XX/XX/XXXX, I received two letters ( see attached ) from Apex Asset Management LLC. in that they ALLEGE they verified the debt. Apex Asset Management erroneously states, " DEAR XXXX XXXX : Enclosed is the verification of debt that you requested from our office regarding the following account : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$770.00} for services on XXXX XXXX XXXX. '' Apex Asset Management LLC NEVER VALIDATED THE DEBT AS REQUIRED BY LAW when I sent Apex Asset Management the debt validation letter via Priority mail ( see attached debt validated letter with USPS receipts ).
