Complaint narrative:
Dear Collector, My credit report shows a collection from your agency. I was never notified of this collection. Whats more, I do not believe this debt is accurate because 1. I did not receive a letter from your agency asking can you furnish any information from me which I know is a huge violation on my privacy rights. Under the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT, I have the right to request and receive validation of the debt. Therefore, please provide me with a copy of all the following : 1 ) An explanation of what this alleged account balance is for.

2 ) A complete Audit Trail calculation of this balance, including the complete payment history on this account, so I have proof that the amount is correct. 
3 ) Documentation that shows I agreed to pay this debt with my signature and documentation shows I gave you permission to have my information and paperwork showing I gave you the authorization to report this to my credit report. No consent to you having my information and unauthorized use of my social security number is identity theft and you will be reported for such.

4 ) The Agreement grants you authority to collect on this alleged debt. 
5 ) A copy of your state license, including the license number that gives you rights to collect in my state.

6. ( The purchase agreement ) 7. ( Swear under penalty of perjury you were present during the alleged debt ) Reporting information that you know to be inaccurate or failing to report information correctly violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Also, you have committed the following FDCPA Violations : 15 U.S. Code? 1692d-Harassment and abuse A debt collector may not engage in any conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt. ( 1 ) The use or threat of violence or other criminal means to harm the physical person, reputation, or property of any person. You are harming my reputation which is a violation.

( 2 ) The false representation of ( A ) the character, amount, or legal status of any debt. This debt is being reported falsely.

15 U.S. Code? 1692f-Unfair practices A debt collector may not use unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt.

( 8 ) Using any language or symbol, other than the debt collectors address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram, except that a debt collector may use his business name if such name does not indicate that he is in the debt collection business. You used symbols on envelopes that violated the law.

15 U.S. Code? 1692g-Validation of debts ( a ) Notice of debt ; content within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing ( 2 ) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; I am the creditor under 15 u.s code 1692a so the debt is owed to me.

15 U.S. Code 1692j - Furnishing certain deceptive forms ( a ) It is unlawful to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that such form would be used to create the false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes such creditor, when in fact such person is not so participating. I am not participating in the collection of this alleged debt.

Stop contacting me about this or any other matter you have. cease and desist ASAP and delete this account from my credit reports, except to provide me with accurate validation of this debt by U.S. mail only.

I also submitted this letter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), My State Attorney General Office, and The XXXX XXXX XXXX to have confirmation of proof if you respond without the proper validation request or not in the 15-day timeframe you have.

You have 15 days from the date of this letter to respond with all items requested or this is considered an insufficient validation response and this item must be removed immediately or I will seek litigation for Monetary damages along with the violations you have already committed.
