Thank You XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I asked for you to please delete the derogatory collections but you're still not in a fair reporting You still have old phone numbers you still have old addresses, still not up to date. 

Your bureau is still reporting negative and unfair credit reports. 

I'm sure you're aware of this law. validating a debt owed So let 's go through our investigation on all collections on my credit report. 

1692g.

Here 's my question. 

1. Can you provide a detailed history of payments made by me on those accounts. 

2. Can you show me my personal signature that I put on this contract that is attached to those accounts that I am paying that creditor. 

3.Can you show me any insurance claims filed on that debt. 

4. Can you show the chain of title authorizing to collect on that debt.
