Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 15 U.S.C. 1692g, I formally request that you provide validation of this debt. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681b, I demand that you provide the permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) for any inquiries you have made into my credit report.

Furthermore, I am invoking my rights under additional federal laws, including but not limited to : 15 U.S.C. 1611 Criminal liability for willful and knowing violations of the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ).

To properly validate this debt, I request that you provide the following : A complete and itemized account statement detailing the alleged debt, including the principal, interest, and any fees applied.

2. A copy of the original agreement that created this alleged debt, bearing my signature.
