Notice to Agent is notice to principal notice to principal is a notice to agent. I am contacting you because I have found some inaccurate information on my credit report. I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an undisclosed collection account from this company XXXX XXXX XXXX with a balance of {$1300.00}. I am not aware of any disclosures that state, " I, have any obligation to pay this company '', nor have I received any notice that this company would open a collection on my consumer report. Consequently, the private information you are providing to my consumer report without Permissible Purpose is ILLEGAL. This unlawful reporting has significantly harmed my livelihood and reputation leading to credit denials. I hereby demand the immediate deletion and blocking of this fraudulent collection from my consumer report. Also, this account is inaccurately marked as " PAST DUE '', which is inaccurate because the account is CLOSED... In accordance with U.S. Code, 1006.34 " Notice for validation of debts, '' Please provide proof that I was sent the proper disclosures and notices required by Congressional laws and regulations in accordance. Additionally, I hereby assert that I have not provided a permissible purpose, as defined in U.S. Code 1681b, for your company to disclose my private information to third-party credit reporting agencies. Furthermore, I demand an IMMEDIATE CEASE AND DESIST. I do not provide consent for any further communication from this debt collection agency. As per 15 U.S Code 1692c ( b ), I do not give you CONSENT TO FURNISH TO ANY THIRD PARTIES, including any consumer reporting agencies. 15 U.S. Code 1692c - Communication in connection with debt collection ( a ) Communication with the consumer generally Without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector or the express permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, a debt collector may not communicate with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt ( 1 ) at any unusual time or place or a time or place known or which should be known to be inconvenient to the consumer. In the absence of knowledge of circumstances to the contrary, a debt collector shall assume that the convenient time for communicating with a consumer is after XXXX oclock XXXX  and before XXXX oclock XXXX, local time at the consumers location ( b ) Communication with third parties Except as provided in section 1692b of this title, without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector, or the express permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, or as reasonably necessary to effectuate a post-judgment judicial remedy, a debt collector may not communicate, in connection with the collection of any debt, with any person other than the consumer, his attorney, a consumer reporting agency if otherwise permitted by law, the creditor, the attorney of the creditor, or the attorney of the debt collector. I hereby insist that this account be promptly reported as " Under Dispute '' until its resolution. The illicit furnishing of this information to my consumer report has inflicted considerable distress and harm upon me. It is important to note that in accordance with U.S. Code 1006.14, any subsequent posting subsequent to my ( The Consumer ) notice to you ( person ) is a clear violation and may provide a legal basis for consumer remedies. 1006.14 Harassing, oppressive, or abusive conduct.

Please be advised that the aforementioned collection is hereby also required to be validated through the provision of documented proof of my signature on a disclosure affirming my obligation to remit payment or provide a PURCHASE AGREEMENT between SOURCE RECEIVABLES MNGMN and my original creditor to prove you now own this debt.

This collection needs to be permanently DELETED from my consumer report, as well as its closure. I must remind you that the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly guarantees my RIGHT TO PRIVACY and entitlement to an accurate credit report.
