She stated that they sent a letter to the address, [ left blank intentionally ] XX/XX/XXXX. I asked if they tried to call me. She stated, " No. It is not our practice to make outbound calls, we just send letters. '' So I told her that I had not lived at that address since XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. She was silent. So I asked if she could bring the payment to what is showing on my credit report? She stated that I would have to call the XXXX office to make a settlement offer. When I call, they said that I owe {$3800.00}. It had occurred almost {$40.00} within 8 days of the letter being sent through the mail.

Company: Sequium Asset Solutions, LLC (MA)

Hello Sequium Asset Solutions , LLC : Happy New Year! Im confused XXXX and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. 

Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 

You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediately reported to the America Bar Association and Professional Liability Fund for code of ethics violations.
