Complaint:
I have left XXXX voicemails to this company. I receive an email with a scanned photo of anything I receive from the US mail office they scan every letter prior to delivery. This company never a validation letter for right to dispute debt within 30 days. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 { b } that your claim is disputed, and validation is requested. In return due to the erroneous reporting to the credit Bureau, this collection has highly negatively impacted my personal credit report. 

Request for VALIDATION, NOT Verification XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MN XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX RE XXXX XXXX MOBILE BILL To Whom It May Concern : This letter is being sent to you in response to notices sent to me from your company and, more importantly, due to your erroneous reporting to the Credit Bureau { s }, the highly negative impact on my personal credit report. Please be advised that this is not a refusal to pay but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 { b } that your claim is disputed, and validation is requested.

This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above-named Title and Section. I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you.

Please provide me with the following : What the money you say I owe is for : Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe : Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe : a copy of proof from the original contract agreeing to service with my signature Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable : Identify the original creditor : Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account : Send proof that you are licensed to collect in my state : Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent or Agent of Service : At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the three major Credit Bureau { XXXX, XXXX or XXXX } this action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent, I will not hesitate to bring legal action against you for the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Defamation of Character If your offices can provide proper documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information, and during such time 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 my legal counsel for suit. 
This includes listing any information with a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated or verifying an account as accurate when in fact, there is no provided proof that it is accurate. 

If your company fails to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit report, and a copy of such deletion { to any/all of the three major credit reporting bureaus : XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX } request shall be sent to me immediately. 

I would also like to request, in writing, that no telephone contact be made by your company to my home or my place of employment. If your offices attempt telephone communication with me, including but not limited to computer-generated calls and calls or correspondence sent to or with any third parties, it will be considered harassment, and I will have no choice but to file suit. All future communications with me MUST be done in writing and sent to the address noted in this letter by XXXX. 
It would be advisable to ensure your records are in order before I am forced to take legal action against your company and your client. I know I have not received this letter as I receive an email with a scanned photo of every letter I receive from the US mail office. They scan every letter before delivery, so adding this to my credit report is an {$1000.00} fine according to Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809. Also, I have recorded three attempts to contact your company, and all three times, I got a voicemail and left three messages. This is an attempt to correct your records ; any information obtained shall be used for that purpose. 

Best Regards, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX
