Complaint narrative:
This notice is not a request for verification of the account or proof of my mailing address but a request for validation made pursuant to the F.D.C.P.A. laws. I humbly request that your agency/ office sends me valid proof of claim that I am legally obligated to pay you.

Please provide me with the below mentioned items : *1099c Request * The amount you claim the Respondent owes you * An explanation showing me how you have computed the amount.

* Copies of any documents that prove I agreed to pay the alleged amount * The identity of the original creditor * Confirmation that the account has not crossed the statute of limitation ( SOL ) period * Evidence that you are a licensed debt collector * Evidence of your license numbers and your registered agent.

I would like to inform you that in case your agency has reported invalidated account information to any of the three main credit bureaus such as TransUnion, Equifax, Experian, then it will be regarded as a fraudulent action under both federal and state statutes. Due to this reason, if any negative item is reported to any of my credit reports by your agency or the agency that you represent, then I will be compelled to take legal steps against you for the below mentioned reasons : * Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( F.C.R.A. ) * Violation of the F.D.C.P.A. 
* Defamation of character * Use of my copyrighted property Formal Request for Complete Media of Information & Immediate Removal of Inaccurate Collection Account Request a Complete Media of Information ( CMI ) regarding an inaccurate collection account that appears on my credit report. The account in question is being reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX at the following address : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, NC XXXX The reported status of this account is inaccurate and unverifiable, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Additionally, parroting information provided by data furnishers without conducting an independent verification constitutes willful noncompliance, as upheld in XXXX v. TransUnion Corp., 115 F.3d 220 ( 3rd Cir. 1997 ).

Pursuant to my rights under the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), I am requesting : Complete and itemized media of information on this account, including : The original signed agreement or contract.

A full payment history and itemized breakdown of the alleged balance.

Verification of your independent investigation into this accounts accuracy.

Immediate removal of this account from all three credit bureaus ( TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian ) due to its inaccurate reporting.

Failure to comply with this request will leave me with no choice but to escalate this matter, including filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my states Attorney Generals Office.

I expect a written response within 30 days as required by law. If you require further information to complete this request, please contact me in writing at the address listed above.
