Complaint narrative:
SECOND NOTICE FOR XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Debt Description : XXXX Proposed amount : {$230.00} A complaint was filed with the CFPB in regards to this 3rd party debt collector. They are still sending me letters for demand for payment with possible judgement. They have not answered the last complaints filed by me, the respondent. I have attached a notarized, recorded, and certified letter from my local county court house that is a Demand for Validation of Debt as well as a Cease and Desist letter for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have sent them the same letter for a SECOND NOTICE certified mail with return receipt. Please see attachment. If they do not respond with the demand for each requirement listed in the certified letter and update to the three credit bureaus [ XXXX, XXXX, AND TRANSUNION ] within 30 days to remove and delete account and amount, then further escalation will occur and civil penalties will apply. 

It is my strong belief that the company has violated the laws below and demand for performance of Validation of Debt must be completed and returned.
