P.S. Please be aware that dependent upon your response, I may be detailing any potential issues with your company via online public press release, including documentation of any potential small claims action. I am also including a copy of my complaint to the organizations below : Best Regards, XXXX XXXX Cc : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX : Attorney Generals Office Cc : Better Business Bureau On XX/XX/ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sent me a letter along with an itemized bill. As per FTC opinion letter from Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX, you should be aware that a printout of a bill or itemized document does not constitute validation or verification. I then in turn filed a complaint with the BBB which XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has yet to respond to. 

I am filing to this complaint today to say, I have never done business with this company and do not know who they are. They have never loaned me money and can not stand in a court of law and say that they have. 
Futhuremore The right of subrogation does not exist for a stranger to the transaction. 73 AmJur 2nd, Section 90. 
" Subrogation '' means to substitute. " Does not exist '' means is not allowed. " Stranger to the transaction '' means someone or some entity not on the original contract. This includes attempts to collect based on assignment, sale/purchase, or trade. The collector can not substitute himself to collect money because he believes he was assigned the task or he purchased the bad debt, or traded some bad debt for a different bad debt. 
I have never agreed to do business with your company - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX-, your company is not mentioned on any contract I 've ever signed with anyone and I demand full validation, meaning a contract between you ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and me with my true wet ink signature on it! 
I have never contracted with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. There is no contract with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX or myself, regardless of whether XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX purchased an account from an Original Creditor or not. 
Another thing is that if XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX claims that they have received all rights of interest and assignment when they purchased the account, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is automatically violating the Statute of Frauds. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has NEVER exchanged anything of value with me, yet they want me to give value to their company. That is not equal risk, a pertinent part of all valid contracts. 
Furnishing or attempting to verify information with credit bureaus that is inaccurate is ILLEGAL COLLECTION ACTIVITY. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is in clear violation of the FDCPA for continuing collection activity while refusing to respond to every demand for validation I have sent. I HAVE REQUESTED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS FOR VALIDATION WHICH IS A SIGNED CONTRACT BETWEEN XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX AND ME! NOT PAPERWORK FROM XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX DOES NOT HOLD A CONTRACT BETWEEN ME AND THEM NOR DO THEY HAVE MY SIGNATURE LISTED ON A CONTRACT SHOWING IMMEDIATE CREDIT RECOVERY!! 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX will need to provide a contract between me and them specifically!! 
I deny your claim, I deny owing any monies, I deny any contract with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has never lent anything to me or provided any services to me, and I refuse to contract with them as I do not do business with 3rd party debt collectors. 
Please send me proof of your Bill of Sale and the price you paid to purchase my information and create this account, which you did without my knowledge, without my consent, without A CONTRACT or AGREEMENT allowing you to subrogate on my behalf. What XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX did when they created this alleged account is commit fraud against me and perpetrate identity theft against me. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX does not qualify to make a claim against me according to the Doctrine of Subrogation. 
If XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX does not produce a contract with my signature as well as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX/representative of this companys signature in 15 days from the receipt of this final statement, I will have no choice but to file suit against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I have also contacted my consumer rights attorney who is with the law firm XXXX XXXX XXXX. Unless XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. provides me with all of the information I have requested, they better not even think about reporting anything on my credit report. I am extremely litigious.
