I'm writing to formally request that the collection account mentioned in your most recent email be validated. In accordance with my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) of the Fair obligation Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I ask that your office furnish comprehensive and verifiable proof attesting to the validity of this obligation. At the very least, this validation has to contain : The original creditor 's complete name and address, A thorough statement of the whole amount owing, including principle, interest, fees, and any additional charges, the original account number, a full payment history and evidence, such as a signed contract or other official papers, proving I am legally required to pay this obligation.
You are legally obligated to stop all collection efforts and not report this account to any credit reporting agencies until such validation is received. This inquiry is meant to make sure the data you are reporting is correct, legal, and not the product of fraud, miscommunication, or error.
