************************************ PLEASE CONFIRM RECEIPT of this email. 
************************************ Once confirmation is received, please stop any further contact or harassment by phone or mail with me in regards to the debt of account # XXXX 

This is a debt for which I am not responsible. I have clearly disputed this debt and explained why I am not responsible, and contact on this wrongful debt gives me severe XXXX as I was a victim of police brutality. Lastly, this is also a debt that is past the statute of limitations. 

A consumer complaint in regards to this matter has been filled with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on XX/XX/XXXX. Any further harassment may lead to legal action taken against XXXX XXXX XXXX and/or Pendrick Capital Partners on this matter. 

If a legal response is received on this matter, I am prepared to be represented by my consumer protection attorney and seek recovery for any damages in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), which may include but not be limited to physical and and emotional distress, money unnecessary paid to a lawyer to defend against wrongful debt collection, wrongful damage to credit, and wrongly garnished wages. 

My consumer protection attorney and I will want to know how your practice is attempting to claim a wrongful debt owed from an individual that was detained and held in physical custody by law enforcement. The freedom of liberty was removed from the individual and the individual was not legally allowed to make or authorize any decisions in regards to themselves or thier own body, as the Sheriff Department maintained all custody decisions over that individual. 

Lastly, my attorney and I will want to know how you obtained specific details on private health records that were provided in this notice that is attached. 

************************************ Once again, PLEASE CONFIRM RECEIPT of this email. 
************************************ Best regards, XX
