I am requesting that your company please forward me a copy of the 1099-C that was filed by your company when you charged this debt off with the IRS which is required by law for all debts over {$600.00}. 

Please also enclose a printed copy of my payment history or you may also email it to me at -- -- -- -- -- -- -, please do not send any marketing or other account information to this email address I have no desire to have spam at this location and I track everything by standard USPS mail at my home address listed above.

I demand to see verifiable proof ( i.e. : an original consumer contract with my signature on it ) that you have on file for the account listed below. Or a Certification from the creditor that certified the accuracy and completeness of the information/account.
