Consumer complaint: Related Case XXXX Validation has not been supplied at my initial request for validation by Financial Credit Netowrk, please see my first and second letter attached. 

The first request for validation was sent on XXXX/XXXX/2016 and no proof has yet to be provided. No correspondence since my last complaint of any kind. At this point the damage has been done under FCRA and FDCPA, which will entitle me to {$1000.00} per violation plus attorney fees. In addition, this collector has contacted a family member about this debt and I have proof should I need to litigate this matter. I have obtained council and I do plan on persisting on with this matter should the Tradeline not be removed within 5 days from this complaint. 

Below is what was sent on XXXX/XXXX/2016 via certified mail. Second letter is attached.
