Dear Mercantile Adjustment Bureau, This letter is to formally dispute the validity of a debt you are attempting to collect from me. I am writing to you in accordance with my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Dispute of Debt and Request for Validation I am disputing that I owe any debt to you, current, or the original creditor.

Please furnish this information within 30 days of receipt of this letter. My failure to respond does not in any way imply that the debt is valid. 

Violation of Consumer Rights Your collection efforts appear to be in violation of the FDCPA in the following ways : 15 U.S.C. 1692 ( e ) : You and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have used false, misleading, misrepresentative, or deceptive means in your communication with me. 
12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) & 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( 7 ) ( A ) : You and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have XXXX or attempted to furnish information about this debt to a credit reporting agency without providing the required disclosures by law. 
All these violations are a direct violation of 15 USC 1681. No consent is identity theft, and these violations are Aggravated Identity theft, according to [ 18 USC 1028A ] ( a ) ( 1 ). You have knowingly transferred, possessed, and used, without lawful authority, a means of identification of me, which is a felony punishable up to 2 years of imprisonment, in addition to civil liability. 

For damages, I am invoking my rights as a consumer pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( n ) civil liability, and I demand compensation for every violation listed below ; Permissible purpose {$1000.00} Defamation of character {$1000.00} Damaged reputation {$1000.00} Damaged credit worthiness {$1000.00} Damaged mode of living {$1000.00} Infringed on right to privacy {$1000.00} Cease and Desist Communication Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1692 ( c ), I am revoking my consent to receive any further communication from you regarding this debt. All future communication must be done in writing through the XX/XX/XXXX. Please be aware that the FDCPA allows for statutory damages of {$1000.00} for each violation. 
I will cooperate with a legitimate debt collection effort, but only once the debt has been properly validated according to the law. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
