I requested a full refund as the account was sent from XXXX XXXX to Diversified Consultants in error, without following proper dispute procedures ; he admitted to their violations, refused to provide a refund, but assured me I would receive a letter of deletion by end of business on XX/XX/XXXX.

On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I received via email a letter stating my account is paid in full ( not a letter of deletion as promised by the compliance manager ).  This letter does not state the amount owed or paid, nor the date the account was paid in full. 

Being that neither companies ( XXXX XXXX & Diversified Consultants ) provided notification of debt before reporting to collections, no notification or verification of debt upon request, failure to provide verification of debt OR confirmation of payment with in 10 business days of receipt of payment, find themselves in complete violation of : 1. Fair Debt Collections Practices Act 2. Fair Credit Reporting Act
