Complaint narrative:
I request a detailed description of the procedure used to determine that I have a contractual obligation from the date of account creation until the date of last activity. Please ensure this information is 100 % correct and accurate based on the total amount you claim I owe. Also provide me with the name, address, telephone number of each person who verified this alleged account that you have purchased or been assigned from the original creditor or account holder that vou are stating is your source for the inaccurate information that you claim is 100 % correct and accurate. Be sure to provide the name of the employee, the number that was called, their position in the company. I am sure you know that a printout of a bill or itemized document does not constitute verification according to FTC opinion letter from Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have attached the documents that were sent in response to my request. I require compliance with the terms and conditions of this letter within 30 days of your receipt, or a complete removal from my credit profile, in writing, of your claim. After thoroughly reviewing 15 U.S.C. 1692g, I noticed multiple violations. As stipulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), any information reported to credit bureaus must be accurate, complete, and verifiable. And according to 15 USC 1681b, this company has not provided sufficient evidence demonstrating that there is a permissible purpose for the reporting of this debt according to my facts. ( See Attachments ) I am requesting that you thoroughly reinvestigate this. Make sure that all relevant documents and information supporting the validity of this debt are available for examination in a timely manner. Specifically, I ask for verification of the original creditor, the amount owed, and any applicable contracts or agreements such as the purchase and/ or debt agreement. Please also provide proof that this company is able to collect this debt on behalf of the original creditor or any other subsequent purchasers. I require compliance with the terms and conditions of this letter within 30 days of your receipt. If you can not comply, I demand a complete removal of your claim from my credit profile in writing. In the event of noncompliance, I reserve the right to file charges and/or complaints with the FTC, attorney general, and appropriate county, state, and federal authorities. I also reserve the right to take private civil action against this company to recover damages. Stop all collection efforts, including communications such as phone calls, texts, automated messages and reporting to credit reporting agencies and/ or third parties until this request is fulfilled. Reporting inaccurate information to the credit bureaus is fraud. This notice serves as my final attempt to urge your compliance with the laws under the FDCPA and FCRA. If deemed necessary, I will seek legal advice, which may result in federal or small claims court action to seek damages against your company for violations, including defamation and false claims.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
