Re : Validation of Account This letter is being sent to you in response to a listing on my credit report. 
Be advised this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g stating your claim is disputed and validation is requested.

Your offices are already in violation of 15 USC 1692g ( a and b ) by not providing any notice of debt and giving me the allotted time to dispute said debt which are punishable fines up to {$1000.00} per violation. 
This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above-named Title and Section. I respectfully request your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. 
At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the XXXX major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX or XXXX ) this action may 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 and your client for the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and Defamation of Character.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I have sent disputes to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX regarding inaccurate information reported on my credit report. I specifically listed the accounts and informed them of the violations they are committing against my consumer report. It has been over 60 days since my initial dispute letters were sent, and none of the credit bureaus have provided a response. Copies of all correspondence sent are attached for your reference.

These companies have violated FCRA 623 ( a ) ( b ) by failing to mark the disputed accounts as such.

Additionally, FCRA 605 ( c ) has been violated as the reporting period has continued despite the last activity on these accounts being incorrectly reported. This should reflect the actual date of the last payment made.

Moreover, this company has repeatedly failed to validate the collection account, thereby violating FDCPA 809 ( b ) according to FTC guidelines.

I request that these inaccuracies be promptly corrected, as they are adversely affecting my credit standing and rights under federal law.

After conducting a thorough investigation on my credit report, I was dismayed to discover unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable items that your agency failed to ensure were reported correctly. This has caused severe distress and emotional turmoil.

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is imperative that all information on my credit report be reported with 100 % accuracy. However, the accounts in question are in violation of FCRA regulations, specifically under 15 U.S Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ), which require complete accuracy in reporting.

I have attached copies of all correspondence sent regarding this matter for your reference and further investigation. I urge your agency to rectify these errors promptly and ensure that my credit report reflects accurate and verified information as mandated by law.

I see some items on my credit report that I dont know. It looks like someone might have stolen my identity because I didnt approve these accounts. Ive talked about this before, and now Im asking for these accounts to be taken off my report quickly. Having these accounts on my report is causing me stress. They dont show my real credit history or how I handle money, and its been hard dealing with this. If we cant fix this, Im ready to go to court to protect my rights and find a solution. These wrong items on my credit report are a big problem for me. Theyre stopping me from reaching important money goals, like buying a house and supporting my family. I hope we can fix this problem soon.

Company: DISCOVER BANK (PA)

On XX/XX/year> I had a power washing job lined up with XXXX XXXX. I was told that I would be charged after the job was complete. The Man came to the house, told me that he didn't have the proper equipment and was not able to do the job. ( He also informed XXXX XXXX  ). He then got in his car and left. While he was driving away my Discover Card notified me of a {$560.00} charge. I immediately called XXXX XXXX and let them know the the job wasn't started or finished. The man noted to XXXX XXXX that he could not do the job because he did not have the proper equipment. On XX/XX/year> at XXXX I spoke to XXXX XXXX customer service to inform XXXX list of the issue-credit card charged no services rendered. On XX/XX/year> I spoke to XXXX at XXXX XXXX and informed him of the issue. He said it was in the notes that the man said he could not do the job. I was informed that I would be refunded in 3-5 days. On XX/XX/year> at XXXX I spoke to XXXX at Discover Card services she put a 48hour hold on any charges from XXXX for the amount of {$29.00}. This is the yearly fee for joining XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/year> XXXX I spoke to XXXX who assured me the refund had been processed and I should see it on my card statement in a day or 2. On XX/XX/year> I spoke with XXXX from Discover Card. She put a 15 month stop payment on my card from the amount of XXXX XXXX  to {$660.00} for XXXX 's XXXX. Discover Card 's inquiry is attached. Discover then conducted an investigation and charged the disputed amount back to my card claiming I authorized the charges. I am not disputing that I authorized the charges, but this was dependent on the pressure washing job being done. I am now filing a complaint against Discover with the CFPB in the hopes that Discover understands that charging me for a service not rendered is fraud and that I should have the full amount credited back to my Discover Card. XXXX or XXXX 's list is a sham and they customer service is incompetent. I would expect more from a reputatble company like Discover to protect its customers.
