Complaint narrative:
I have not supplied proof under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, Engelhardt v Gravens ( Mo ) 281 SW 715, 719, I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact exists. 

In a good faith effort to resolve this matter amicably, I demand for proof of the debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature in wet ink, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must terminate this collection action and correct any erroneous reports of this debt as mine. 

For the record, I state again that as I have no account with you, nor am I your customer, nor have I entered into a contract with you, I must ask for the following information : 1 ) Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) 15 USC 1692 ( f ) and USC 1692 ( g ) in this alleged matter.

2 ) What is your authorization of law for your collection of information?

4 ) Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in the state.

5 ) Please provide proof of the alleged debt, including specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my wet signature.

Your continued silence is unacceptable. Either provide the proof or correct the record to remove the invalid debt from my credit files with the three-primary credit-reporting agencies.
