Credit COntrol  Services did not send me a letter to allow me to ask for validation or verification of the debt that is on my credit report. I request validation and verification of this amount to its entirety as written to them  XXXX / XXXX /  XXXX   It read as follows Re : Acct # {  XXXX  and  XXXX   XXXX   }  To Whom It May Concern : Ive received a copy of my credit report and you are claiming I have an account with you or I owe you something. I have never entered into any business arrangement and I have never signed any contract to conduct any kind of business with you. Also, because you are a  3rd  party collector, you have no permission to furnish any information on my credit report in the first place. The law states that before you collect any information, about me, you have to get my authorization to access my credit report for any reason. You didnt do that first, and theres no way I would ever give a slimy collection company permission to slander me on my credit reports. Heres the law in case you never read it before. ( o  ) Ex cluded communications. A communication is described in this subsection if it is a communicatio n ( 5 ) with respect to which ( A ) the consumer who is the subject of the communication ( i ) consents orally or in writing to the nature and scope of the communication, before the collection of any information for the purpose of making the communication ; ( iii ) in the case of consent under clause ( i ) or ( ii ) given orally, is provided written confirmation of that consent by the person making the communication, not later than 3 business days after the receipt of the consent by that person ; Now, I am also exercising my right under the FDCPA to dispute the alleged account and demand validation from you.

This includes any listing any information to a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated or verifying an account as accurate when in fact there is no provided proof that it is. If your offices fail 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. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I NEED THAT PROOF ON CONTRACT INFORMATION WITHIN 15 DAYS. YOU HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 15 DAYS TO SEND ME THE REMAINDER OF INFORMATION REQUIRED BY LAW. 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 but not limited to computer generated calls and calls or correspondence sent to or with any third parties, it will be considered harassment and I will have no choice but to file suit.
