Complaint:
Today, XX/XX/2019, I received a call from Southwest Credit Systems. This is the second call I have received after I have asked them to provide a validation of debt to my mailing address. I received a call XX/XX/2019 and let the representative of Southwest Credit to no longer call my cellular phone since I have that right under credit protection laws. Well I received another phone call, and since all calls are recorded they should be able to pull up all of my phone calls with them. I again asked to please send me a validation of debt to my address and hung up. Less than 2 minutes later XXXX XXXX from Southwest Credit called a friend of mine on his cell phone. 1 ) credit companies are not allowed to call another person and ask if they know the person they are trying to get in touch with. Especially since I just spoke with them When they called me. If I am not mistaken each call is {$1500.00} when they do not have permission to call. I will be expecting my check. Ok so back to the claim. This was removed from my credit as they could not prove I owed the bill. Secondly look at the attached photos of my credit report where I disputed this claim and it was removed. Also they have not provided who the original debt was owed to. If they will do the following I will happily entertain their notion I owe them. 
I have repeatedly tried to fix this problem with Southwest Credit. I know my rights and this account has not been investigated nor validated. I asked for cease and desist also, I asked for an investigation for this account requesting : To Whom It May Concern : Be advised this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. Under the Fair Debt collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I have the right to request validation of the debt you say I owe you. I am requesting proof that I am indeed the party you are asking to pay this debt, and there is some contractual obligation that is binding on me to pay this debt. This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) of the FDCPA. I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. At this time I will also inform you that if your offices have or continue to report invalidated information to any of the three major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX ), this action might constitute fraud under both federal and state laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found or continues to report on any of my credit reports by your company or the company you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client for the following : Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Defamation of Character. I am sure your legal staff will agree that non-compliance with this request could put your company in serious legal trouble with the FTC and other state or federal agencies. If your offices are able to provide the proper documentation as requested in the following declaration, I will require 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 legal counsel for suit. This includes any listing of any information to a credit-reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated. If your offices fail 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 file and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately. It would be advisable that you and your client assure that your records are in order before I am forced to take legal action.
