Since XXXX I have been disputed this account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to provide the consumer The documentation requested by the consumer Keeping it Simple, I have asked for the following to XXXX XXXX XXXX and to all three major credit bureaus Also, I have asked on several occasion to all three major credit bureaus to opt me out of this information Since this information is Fraudulent No proper investigation has been made on behalf of both XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  and all three major credit bureaus this account is a fraudulent account and It's not a charge off account and it does not have any late payments To my knowledge a XXXX XXXX XXXX was purchased not a XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  I would like consumer redress on this account and Send me information verifying that this account belongs to me. 

Please read carefully and provide the consumer the information requested. 

Please note that this is not a refusal to pay off the account, but a notice sent as per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( F.D.C.P.A. ), 15 U.S.C. 1692 ( G ) Section 809 ( B ). This notice states that your claim is disputed, and validation of the account is required. 

This notice is not a request for verification of the account or proof of my mailing address but a request for validation made pursuant to the F.D.C.P.A. laws. I humbly request that your agency/ office sends me valid proof of claim that I am legally obligated to pay you. Please provide me with the below mentioned items : * The amount you claim the Respondent owes you * An explanation showing me how you have computed the amount.

* Copies of any documents that prove I agreed to pay the alleged amount * The identity of the original creditor * Confirmation that the account has not crossed the statute of limitation ( SOL ) period * Evidence that you are a licensed debt collector * Evidence of your license numbers and your registered agent. 

I would like to inform you that in case your agency has reported invalidated account information to any of the three main credit bureaus such as XXXX, Equifax, XXXX, then it will be regarded as a fraudulent action under both federal and state statutes. Due to this reason, if any negative item is reported to any of my credit reports by your agency or the agency that you represent, then I will be compelled to take legal steps against you for the below mentioned reasons : * Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( F.C.R.A. ) * Violation of the F.D.C.P.A. 
* Defamation of character * Use of my copyrighted property I would like to further inform you that if any action is taken during the validation period which could be regarded as detrimental to any of my credit reports, then I will seek advice about initiating a potential lawsuit. This includes listing any information on a credit report that could be incorrect or invalidated, or confirming an account as correct when, in fact, there is no provided evidence that it is. 

If your agency can provide me with the requested documents, I will need a minimum of thirty ( 30 ) days to investigate this information, and during this period of time, all collection activities must be stopped. Also, I request that you provide evidence that I must pay you in anything other than appropriate commercial paper should the debt be proven valid because, to my knowledge, the U.S. Congress provided the appropriate remedy for me to settle my debts via the remedy in House Joint Resolution ( H.J.R. ) 192 of XX/XX/XXXX under the United States, Public Law 73-10, and Public Law 48 stat. 112 ( among others ).

If your agency/ company fails to respond to this debt validation request within a period of ten ( 10 ) days from the date of your receipt of my notice and affidavit, then the account information must be completely deleted from my credit report, and a copy of such deletion request should be sent to me at once, or I will take legal action. 

I would also like to request, in writing, that no calls should be made by your agency or company at my residence or workplace. If your agency attempts to make unlimited or computer-generated calls to me or any third parties, then it will be considered harassment, and I will have no option but to file a lawsuit. All future communications with me should be done in writing and sent to the address mentioned in this letter. Further, any correspondence must be made in the form of a commercial affidavit under penalty of perjury and sent by certified mail. Any other form of service shall be deemed defective upon its face. 

It would be advisable that you assure that your records are in order before I am forced to take legal action. This is an attempt to correct your records. Any information obtained shall be used for that purpose. Respectfully,
