I respectfully request your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, or XXXX ), this action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my 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 FCRA Violation of the FDCPA Defamation of Character If your offices are able to provide the proper documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information, during which time all collection activity must cease and desist.

If your office fails to respond to this debt validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit report, and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately. 
( OPTIONAL CEASE & DESIST ) I would also like to request, in writing, that your offices make no further telephone contact to my home or place of employment. If your offices continue to attempt telephone communication with me, it will be considered harassment, and I will have no choice but to file suit. All future communications with me MUST be done in writing and sent to the address noted in this letter. It would be advisable that you and your client assure that your records are in order before I am forced to take legal action. Best Regards, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX. I have a cash app account that was my main source for direct deposit for my job. I came home from work XX/XX/XXXX after working night shift and went to sleep at around XXXX XXXX  EST and I woke up at around XXXX XXXX EST to my phone getting multiple text messages saying my email was changed, my phone number was unlinked, and a card ending in XXXX was added to my cash app account. I was logged out and I couldnt even log in since the person who hacked my account had literally changed everything. I waited until cash app support opened at XXXX XXXX  EST and I called their support. After hours and hours, they could not help me in regards of getting my account back. I called my work to tell them about my account being hacked and to hold my check but I got paid that following night I worked and the payroll staff wouldnt be in work until the next morning which by then I wouldve already been paid XXXX dollars. So, XX/XX/XXXX, I got direct deposit of XXXX dollars from my work, within 2 hours all of that money was transferred off of my account to XXXX, which I didnt even have access to my account at that time. I called cash app support and tried to get it fix, after endless hours and going through multiple of their support agents, none of them was able to help me unfortunately, they couldnt even get me back into my account even after giving them everything they asked for.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.
