Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a debt validation dispute letter on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX via Registered Mail ( receipt no. : RF XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), which they received on XX/XX/XXXX. ( See Exhibit A ) I sent this debt validation letter ( See Exhibit B ) to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX because upon checking the credit report I noticed that they are reporting an account as being charged off. However, there is another entity by the name of CLIENT SERVICES, INC. claiming to be the company in charge of this alleged debt. ( See Exhibit C ) I sent a debt validation letter to CLIENT SERVICES, INC. as well on XX/XX/XXXX ( See Exhibit D ) which they received on XX/XX/XXXX, and I still have not received any response from CLIENT SERVICES INC. either. 

I received a response letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Credit Bureau Resolutions department on XX/XX/XXXX stating that they could not provide any information or locate an account unless I provided the exact same information that was already listed in the original debt validation letter. ( See Exhibit E ) By their response, we are in agreement that pursuant to 15 USC subsection 1681 et seq., XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX failed to comply with the terms of the original debt validation letter that was sent to them on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I responded with a formal notice making XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX aware that they have acquiesced because they failed to comply to the original debt validation letter and they have failed to state a valid claim that a debt actually. Furthermore, the formal notice response letter I sent to XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX gave them an opportunity to cure. ( See Exhibit F ) On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a response from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX admitting that they located this alleged account and they have placed a disagreement code with a resolution of dispute on my credit file with all of the major credit reporting agencies. This was done without them actually validating that a debt even exists. 

By their response, we are in agreement that XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, once again, acquiesced because they failed to comply to the formal notice which gave them an opportunity to cure. In addition to this, by their response, we are in agreement that XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, can not provide any contract bearing the signature of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as requested. Furthermore, by their response, we are in agreement that XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX is trying to state a claim in this alleged debt while another entity, CLIENT SERVICES, INC., is additionally stating a claim in this alleged debt matter as well. This is a violation of 15 USC subsection 1692 et seq. and 15 USC 1681 et seq. ( See Exhibit G ) XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has had more than 60 days to provide proof that an actual debt exists pursuant to 15 USC subsection 1601 et seq. and have acquiesced several times, which leads me to believe that XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX is being willfully negligent and willfully non-compliant. In addition to this, it leads me to believe that I can not receive a remedy.

Company public response: Company believes it acted appropriately as authorized by contract or law
