Specifically, you : VELOCITY INVESTMENTS LLC ( {$1200.00} ) you are in Violation of reporting inaccurate accounts without completing a full investigation. Reporting inaccurate accounts that are charged off and not mine-FCRA VIOLATION -Failed to validate a debt at my request- FDCPA VIOLATION -Continued to report a disputed debt to the CRA- FCRA VIOLATION -Continued to attempt to collect a disputed debt- FDCPA VIOLATION -Reporting a charged off account with a balance- FCRA VIOLATION -Ignored my request for proof of my signature-FDCPA VIOLATION Not only have you ignored my prior request for Validation of Debt, but you also continue to report this charge off account with a balance causing damage to my character. I AM NOT ASKING FOR A COPY OF A BILL OR SUMMARY! Please provide full proof of this debt including MY SIGNATURE binding me to this debt that you claim belongs to me and that I owe. This letter will request that you follow guidelines of The Fair Debt Collection Practices ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. & 1692 and please provide the following : VALIDATION OF DEBT REQUEST -PROOF OF THE CREDITORS RIGHT TO OWN/COLLECT THIS ALLEGED DEBT- BALANCE CLAIMED INCLUDING ALL FEES, INTEREST AND PENALTIES -CONTRACT BEARING MY PERSONAL SIGNATURE- LICENSE PROOF OF THE CREDITOR TO COLLECT DEBT IN MY STATE As you are certainly aware, Admission by Silence means that you had a legal duty to defend your position but failed to do so and if my claims were untrue, you would have been compelled to deny my charges. I will use the Admission of Silence in my defense should I be summoned to court or act against you. I expect to receive the proof I requested above, within 15 days of this letter. Should you continue to ignore my request for this validation letter including proof of my signature, you are in direct violations of my consumer rights as indicated under both the FDCPA and the FCRA. I advise you to delete this account from all credit bureaus. Each Agency is reporting different days, times, absurd comments I have never made, reporting a balance on charged off accounts which is a FCRA violation, and your report lacks complete accuracy. A lot of those accounts I have no knowledge of. This is not professional at all, and it is against the law to report incorrect information. The following accounts I want validated legally : 1. UNAUTHORIZED INQUIRY FROM XXXX- PLEASE DELETE! YOU ARE DAMAGING MY CREDIT HEALTH DUE TO YOUR LAZINESS AND NEGLIGENCE! DO NOT send me a summary or a bill without my signed signature that bonds me to this debt. I have been a victim of Identity Theft and have been dealing with fraudulent debt for the past few years. The credit bureaus are aware of my Identity Theft as well. If you fail to follow the law, I will report you to XXXX. If this is not rectified in the correct manner. Per my lawyers request, I will sue you in court. I filed a complaint with Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as well. It is the law that you show my SIGNATURE bonding me to this debt you claim I owe. You have 15 days to take care of this mistake. 1.Please explain to me what your representatives uncovered to lead them to believe that you are reporting this item as it legally should be reported?

As you are well aware this information will come out through my formal discovery process, and necessary depositions.
