I demand that you present for my visual inspection MY ORIGINAL WET INK SIGNATURE PROMISSORY NOTE This is required to establish your right of enforcement as Holder in Due Course via a chain of assignment as evidenced by the Note.

XXXX. Make available for visual inspection my original wet ink promissory note ( not a photocopy ). 
Please contact me in writing to arrange for an appropriate point of inspection. 

This is my good faith attempt to resolve this matter before I am forced to litigate against your company. I am pleading with you to resolve this matter privately and civilly as to avoid burdening our courts with this matter. If I have to, I will see you in court. 

Contacting me again after receipt of this notice without providing procedurally proper validation of the alleged debt constitutes a scheme of fraud by advancing a writing that you know or should know is false, with the intention that the courts and/or others rely on the written communication to impair or damage my credit rating, my reputation, my standing in the community as well as intentionally inflicting financial and emotional harm upon me. I take this notice, and my rights, very seriously and expect Midland to do the same. 

In the event that this debt is not validated by you, as required by the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, you have a legal responsibility to terminate the claim and correct any negative credit reporting which may have been made in connection with this alleged debt. You may want to obtain a legal opinion on this, but I believe that would constitute a scheme of fraud if this debt were to be resold ; assuming that Midland has in fact purchased evidence of debt in this matter. 

I also will not respond to any future correspondence that is not signed or does not indicate who at your firm has sent the demand for payment. 

I expect timely responses to the above confirmations and that they be made in writing and sent via certified mail to the address listed below. Alternately, a letter from your firm that the matter has been satisfied and a copy of the letter you sent to all XXXX credit reporting agencies asking them that any adverse credit reporting relating to this transaction to be expunged by these XXXX major credit reporting agencies immediately. 

Failure to provide these items shall mean your admission that you have no claim, your agreement not to report negatively to the credit bureaus, and your agreement never to contact me or the person named in your correspondence again. Failure to substantiate the claim, Delete accounts immediately from your XXXX and the XXXX credit bureaus.
