( b ) Any person who violates this section shall be liable to the same extent and in the same manner as a debt collector is liable under section 1692k of this title for failure to comply with a provision of this subchapter. Per ( 15 usc 1692g validation of debts ) this alleged debt is not valid and must be VALIDATED by the standards of consumer law. Not merely Verified by the methods of the company who is attempting to collect on An alleged debt. XXXX XXXX XXXX has been using deceptive terms like original creditor and current creditor which is not recognized in the eyes of debt collection consumer law. Lawfully they must be either the Creditor or the consumer in this situation they are neither. If XXXX XXXX XXXX believes, this debt is owed to them. I have asked them several times to produce any documents, proving that they extended anything i.e goods, services, loans, experiences or credit that contractually bounds me to paying them for this debt. They have not provided this documentation, this documentation therefore does not exist. XXXX XXXX XXXX is the name XXXX  XXXX XXXX stated these accounts belongs to but they have failed to lawfully validate me to be that person.

But they have failed to provide this documentation now, 60 days after my initial request. They have not provided it because no such documentation exists. This company must be held responsible for illegally obtaining my information to collect on his debt without any consent from me whatsoever.
