Complaint narrative:
Dear SELF INC, Pursuant to the FCRA & the FDCPA I now exercise my lawful right to question the validity of this debt your agency claims has come due. 
Fair Credit Reporting Act 609 Disclosures to consumers : ( c ) ( 2 ) ( E ) : A consumer reporting agency is not required to remove accurate derogatory information from a consumer 's file, unless the information is outdated under section 605 or can not be verified.

Fair Credit Reporting Act 611 ( a ) 1 ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy : ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information ( 1 ) Reinvestigation Required ( A ) In general. Subject to subsection ( f ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumer 's file at a consumer reporting agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a reseller, of such dispute, the agency shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from the file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or reseller. 
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Section 809. Validation of debts : ( b ) If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or any copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), your company is required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed certified consumer contract - of any and all accounts you request to be posted and or reported on a credit report. 
I demand to see a copy of the Verifiable, Validated Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with a wet-ink Signature on it, copies of copies are not Validation and by Law are not considered proof ), that you have on file for the account listed above. 
Under the FCRA, unverified, invalid accounts must be removed. 
If you are unable to provide the me with a copy of the verifiable/validated proof that you have on file within 30 calendar days from receipt of this notice, for the account listed above then you must at once remove the account from ( Your Name ) credit reports. I demand the account be verified or removed immediately! 
The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me for the " negligent noncompliance '' ( Section 617 ) if you fail to comply with this Federal Law.
