Complaint narrative:
oncern Dear mohela Ive recently look at my consumer report and noticed your company reporting without my concert. Your company is illegally trying to collect and is furnishing false items that violates my consumer rights and FDCPA and FCRA. Be advised that your claim is disputed. Debt validation has to be provided in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC {$1600.00} and as amended by adding the following new Title 8 US {$800.00} et seq., and the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC. {$1600.00} et seq. All of which work in conjunction with each other, including the Truth In Lending Act ( TILA ) 15 USC 1601 et seq. It is not now, nor has it ever my intention to avoid paying any alleged obligation that is lawfully owed by the Claimant. In order to make arrangements to pay an obligation which may be lawfully owed, please document and verify the " debt '' by complying, in good faith, with this request for validation and return it to me, within thirty ( 30 ) days of receipt of this letter.

This is was NOT a request for " verification '' or proof of Claimant mailing address or copies of bank statements you could find, but a request for VALIDATION and PROOF OF CLAIM made pursuant to the above named Titles and Sections. I respectfully request that your offices provide Claimant with competent evidence as per the attached " Declaration and Proof of Claim '' that I have any legal obligation to pay you the unsubstantiated alleged debt. Furthermore you shall cease all verbal communication. No phone calls to the Claimant.

At this time I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major Credit Bureaus, such as, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX prior to validation and proof of claim of the disputed debt, this action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact ; if any negative mark is found on any of Claimant credit reports by your company or the company that you represent I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client for the following : - Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act - Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Defamation of Character - Violation of United States Code TITLE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( Mail Fraud ) This debt is considered to be invalid and all collection of this alleged account be stopped until I receive proper validation and your offices provide Claimant with proof of claim of the disputed debt. Your offices have 30 days to produce the required documentation in accordance with FTC guidelines. During this validation period and proof of claim, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of Claimant credit reports, said action will be considered a " dishonor '' and cause the self-executing contract portion of this notice to be implemented. This includes any listing any information to a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated.

If your offices fail to respond to this validation and proof of claim request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from Claimant credit file and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to Claimant immediately.
