The validation system ( E-Oscar ) does not do a lawful validation and verification. I request that a human validate my dispute under the penalty of perjury. 

I demand copies of every document that your agents use to validate the following collections that are reporting on my credit file without my authorization. I did not and do not give any of the following collection companies permission to have my personal information in their database. I do not give them permission to communicate with your company as a third party. I demand that your company destroy all information you have received from the following collection agencies unless you have an written authorization bearing my signature. Which I am requesting a physical copy of in this authorization. Which your company is required to have in your file. 

To refresh your memory on what constitutes legal debt validation, I am providing you a list of the required documentation : Complete payment history, the requirement of which has been established via Spears v Brennan 745 N.E.2d 862 2001 Ind. App. LEXIS 509.
