If you continue attempting to collect on this debt or seek judgment for payment of the debt without first providing written verification, you will be in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Additionally, the debt can not accrue any fees or interest beyond what is allowed by state law or by contract with the original creditor. 
Because I have disputed this debt in writing within 30 days of receipt of your initial notice, you must obtain verification of the debt or a copy of the judgment against me and mail these items to me at your expense. 
You can not add interest or fees except those allowed by the original contract or state law.

Also be advised that I am keeping accurate records of all correspondence from you and your company, including recording all phone calls, and I will not hesitate to report violations of the law to my State Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau.

Accordingly, if you have already reported this debt to any credit-reporting agency ( CRA ) or Credit Bureau ( CB ) , then you must immediately inform them of my dispute with this debt. Reporting information that you know to be inaccurate or failing to report information correctly violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act 1681s-2. Should you pursue a judgment without validating this debt, I will inform the judge and request that the case be dismissed based on your failure to comply with the FDCPA.

Finally, if you do not own this debt, I demand that you immediately send a copy of this dispute letter to the original creditor so they are also aware that I dispute the debt.

Finally, please note that I do not wish to receive further telephone calls concerning this debt that I do not owe to your client. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act requires you to respect this request. See 15 U.S.C. 1692 ( c ).

If the debt described above has been resolved, I ask that you remove, or have removed any derogatory marks from my XXXX and other CRA 's credit reports per the FCRA and send me confirmation that you have done so. 

Please note that if you fail to respond within 30 days of receipt of this letter, I am prepared to take legal action against your company for causes of action including but not limited to, defamation, fraud, and violations under the FCRA. If your firm can not or chooses not to respond to this validation demand and its conditions, I will not hesitate to file suit and seek my own payday against your firm for malicious and inaccurate activities.
