Originally, I mailed a certified letter and still awaiting verification of the debt. I requested the following items and still did not receive them yet the inaccurate account information still resides on my credit reports today. The law states that since they are in violation and did not provide the requested items before to verify the debt before placing on my credit report, I am entitled to contact a Fair Debt attorney. Since the debt collection agency has violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, I am now entitled to actual damages, attorney fees, and up to {$1000.00} I requested the following items as verification of debt and never received them. 
1. Itemized statement of all charges and credits on the above mentioned account from the date the account was allegedly opened to current date to substantiate the amount that you are attempting to collect.
