These requests included : Debt validation per 15 U.S. Code 1692g ( FDCPA ) Proof of ownership and chain of assignment Proof of license to collect in my jurisdiction Verification of original signed contracts No response was provided within the statutorily required period.

VIOLATIONS & DAMAGES By continuing to report and use these unlawful entries, the credit bureaus and furnishers have committed willful and negligent violations of federal and commercial law, including but not limited to : Publishing and profiting from false and defamatory credit data Ignoring lawful debt validation requests Blocking access to fair and equal lending opportunities Violating due process and fundamental consumer protections IV. FORMAL DEMAND FOR RELIEF As a result of these unlawful acts, I formally demand the following : Immediate removal ( within XXXX business days ) of all negative or derogatory entries referencing : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX That Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion update my credit files to reflect the removal and provide written confirmation of these corrections. 
That the CFPB and FTC initiate an investigation into these entities for repeated violations of federal law and issue corrective and punitive actions where warranted. 
NOTICE OF CONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE & ESTOPPEL If the aforementioned items are not lawfully removed and corrected within 5 business days, this letter shall serve as a conditional agreement by all parties to : Pay {>= $1,000,000} ( XXXX XXXX Dollars ) per violation as liquidated damages Cover all legal costs, attorneys fees, and court filing fees for enforcement This letter is a lawful notice, not a request. Failure to rebut or respond will constitute a binding agreement under principles of estoppel by acquiescence and contract law.
