Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
A default judgement doesnt constitute validation of the debt, I am currently pursuing a countersuit, and I have reason to believe that your company violated the arbitration clause outlined in the original agreement. This clause explicitly requires that disputes, such as this one, be resolved through arbitration, and by bypassing this process, you are in breach of the terms we both agreed upon. 

Unfortunately, the documents you provided, specifically the credit card statements, do not adequately meet the requirements for validating the debt as outlined under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Credit card statements alone are not sufficient proof of the origin, ownership, or validity of the debt in question. 

To properly validate this debt, I kindly request the following additional information : Proof that the debt has been assigned or transferred to your company, if applicable. 
The original contract or agreement that bears my signature, proving that I am responsible for this debt. 
A complete breakdown of the debt, including the original amount, any interest accrued, fees added, and payments made. 
The name and address of the original creditor, if this debt has been sold or transferred. 
Please note that under the FDCPA, you are required to cease collection activities until you provide sufficient evidence of the validity of this debt.
