In my opinion, you have failed to validate this debt. I must remind you that I originally disputed this debt within the 30-day dispute period outlined in the FDCPA and that I am now also responding in a timely manner to your attempt to validate this debt. Because I still consider this debt as " still in dispute '' I do not expect to hear from you again except to provide information or documentation to clear up my reasons for disputing this debt. 
If this debt is reported on my credit report after I have disputed this debt. I will contact my attorney to file a civil lawsuit against your company. I already advised you in my previous letter that I am fully aware of my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act and that I will not hesitate to take all legal steps necessary to protect myself. Be advised that I am keeping accurate records of all correspondence including tape recording all phone calls.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I had a balance of {$1700.00} in my Venmo account on XX/XX/2019. I sent {$1300.00} from my Venmo account to my bank account so that I could pay my bills for the month before XXXX, which then left a balance of XXXX. It told me that I would have it in my bank account on XXXX XXXX because for some reason it would not let me do an instant transfer. On XXXX XXXX I received an email from Venmo saying " Your Venmo account has been frozen due to recent activity that triggered some security alerts. 
Please contact us by replying to this email if you have any questions or want to reactivate your account. '' so on the XX/XX/XXXX, I sent them a message to find out why to which they claimed that I had another account that owed XXXX, I did have another account at one time and got locked out so I opened a new one, I didn't recall owing money but I wasn't denying that, I don't have a problem with them takingXXXX out of what they have stolen from me which is ( XXXX ). They tell me I need to pay an additional XXXX and then submit for a refund of the XXXX and they will look into it within 5 business days. That is not acceptable. Venmo is a payment system that transfers from one person to another. There is no reason they should " freeze '' XXXX for a bill of XXXX and then tell me to send them ANOTHER XXXX and then they will consider sending me the XXXX back. So basically they have stolen {$950.00} from me that isn't theres. This company is a scam
