Complaint narrative:
NOTICE OF Intent to FILE LAWSUIT To Whom It May Concern : This Letter shall serve as formal notice of my Intent to file a lawsuit against your company, due to your blatant and objectionable disregard of the law.     The FDCPA states you must cease collection activity until you have produced verification of the alleged debt if so requested. As per the FTC, this includes reporting to the credit bureaus, which you obviously have done illegally. It is quite evident that no such proof of this alleged debt exists or you would have provided it in the previous 4 months since it was requested. Also, when an alleged debt is disputed, a notation must be entered on the debtors credit report showing the item as in dispute. Again, this was not done.      Im sure  you are aware of the consequences in violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act as well as the multiple violations your company is now responsible for. If not, let me point them out for you.     FCR A 1. 623.

The foll owing items must be deleted from my credit files with the  XXXX  major credit reporting bureaus  (   XXXX ,  XXXX ,  XXXX   XXXX  and ) within 72 hours or by  XXXX   XXXX ,  2017  and you forward a Letter to me via email stating they have been removed and will not reappear on my credit reports again by you or another collection agency.
