XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX CERTIFICATE OF MAILING Dear Sir/Madam : I am re-disputing the above-referenced debt. Please verify this debt as required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) ( section 1692g ). 

Below is A breakdown of the total amount paid {$8000.00}, and amount refunded {$8000.00},. 

I expect credit collection agency to provide proof showing principal, interest, and other charges ; and For all other charges, the date of and basis for each charge should be provided. 
I dispute this debt because I returned the items to the seller. 

As I discussed with the bank, if the seller would return the {$1700.00} item to me, then I would be willing to pay for it. As soon as I returned the item, the seller threatened me. 

Both items were not what I was promised that I purchased and both returned to seller. When I returned the items to the seller, The seller threatened my life via text message. Police advised me to discontinue talking with seller. 


Because I am disputing this debt, you should not report it to the credit reporting agencies. If you have already reported it, please notify the credit reporting agencies that the debt is disputed and/or delete the tradeline from my credit report. 

Reporting information that you know to be inaccurate, or failing to report information correctly, violates the FDCPA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

The FDCPA require that you honor this request. 

Thank you.
