Written notification about debt: Debt collection
I am submitting this complaint because a debt collector is attempting to collect and report an alleged debt without providing lawful validation as required under the FDCPA ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ), Regulation F ( 12 CFR 1006.34 ), the FCRA, and New Jersey state laws, including the NJ Consumer Fraud Act and the NJ Consumer Finance Licensing Act. I formally disputed the alleged debt and requested full validation, including : identification of the original and current creditor, a signed contract or compliant electronic agreement, itemized accounting of all amounts, complete chain of assignment/bills of sale listing my specific account, original statements, proof of charge-off, proof the debt is within the New Jersey statute of limitations , proof of an active NJ debt collection license, and evidence their initial notice met all Regulation F disclosure requirements. The collector has * * not provided legally sufficient verification * *, and instead continues credit reporting and/or collection activity. Reporting and collecting on an unverified debt violates FDCPA 809 ( b ) and FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ), as well as New Jersey laws prohibiting deceptive or unconscionable practices under N.J.S.A. 56:8-2. Until full validation is provideddirectly from the original creditor, not internal summariesthe collector is required to cease all collection efforts and stop furnishing negative credit information. Failure to do so constitutes continued violations of federal and state law. I am requesting CFPB assistance to : 1. Require the collector to provide full and complete validation ; 2. Ensure they cease collection until validation is supplied ; 3. Correct or remove any unverified credit reporting ; and 4. Ensure compliance with FDCPA, Regulation F, FCRA, and New Jersey statutes.
