NEVER received proof that debt belongs to me or that I agreed in writing to pay Hunter Warfield for alleged debt. Hunter Warfield reported to the credit bureaus a collection account that is fraudulent and frivolous in nature. Be advised this is a notice that your claim is disputed and validation is requested immediately. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) /FCRA, I have the right to request immediate validation of the debt Hunter Warfield says 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 to Hunter Warfield. This is a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) of the FDCPA. I request that your offices provide me and CFPB with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay Hunter Warfield. At this time I will also inform Hunter Warfield that if their offices have or continue to report invalidated information to any of the three major credit bureaus ( Equifax, Experian, TransUnion ) or specialty bureaus, this action does constitute fraud under both federal and state laws. Due to this fact, if any negative items or marks are found or continues to be reported on any of my credit reports by Hunter Warfield or the companies you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against Hunter Warfield and their client for the following : Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Defamation of Character. My consumer rights attorneys and your legal staff will agree that non-compliance with this request could put Hunter Warfield 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 require 30 days to investigate this information and during such time all collection activity must cease and desist. All items of collection added to credit bureaus must be removed immediately per federal consumer rights guidelines meant to protect consumer. 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 attorney to continuing filing suit. This includes any listing of any information to a credit-reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated. If Hunter Warfield fails to respond to this validation request within 3 days from the date of this complaint, all references to this account must be deleted from my credit file and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately.
