To Whom It May Concern : XXXX XXXX account XXXX I am writing this letter in response to a notice sent to me from your organization on. This letter is not a refusal to pay, instead it is in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. Please note that this letter is NOT a request for VERIFICATION that the account exists, instead, I am seeking VALDIATION that I have a legal obligation to pay you for the account referenced above under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. In accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, please provide me with the following : An explanation of what the money owed is for. An explanation of how the amount owed was calculated. Copies of any agreements signed obligating you to pay for the debt. Provide copies or other verification of any judgment ( if applicable ). Prove that federal and state statue of limitations applicable to the debt have not expired. Identify who the original creditor of the debt was. Provide verification that the collection agency is licensed to collect in my state. Provide their license numbers and registered agent. In addition, this letter serves to inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major Credit Bureau 's ( XXXX, XXXX or XXXX XXXX ) this action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you for the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Defamation of Character In the event you are able to provide the requested documentation above, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information during which time I expect no further contact from your offices or the company that you represent. Furthermore, during this 30 day validation period, if you take any action towards any of my credit reports which could be considered as having a negative effect, I will have no choice but consult with my legal counsel for suit. This includes listing any information to a credit reporting agency or other repository that could be inaccurate, invalidated and/or verifying that an account is accurate without having sufficient proof to back up such claim. If your office fails to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit file and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately. I would also like to request, in writing, that no telephone contact be made by your offices to my home or to my place of employment. If your offices attempt telephone communication with me, including computer generated calls and calls or correspondence sent to or with any third parties, it will be considered harassment and once again I will have no choice but to seek the advice of counsel and file suit. All future communications with me MUST be done in writing and sent to the address noted in this letter by USPS. I look forward to you response and validation or deletion of the above referenced account so that I am not forced to proceed with any legal action.
