Dear ___________________,
This letter is being sent to you in response to:
Check One (1)
☐ - Notice sent to me on ___________________, 20___.
☐ - Response to a listing on my Credit Report.
Be advised this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g stating your claim is disputed and validation is requested.
This is NOT a request for “verification” or proof of my mailing address, but a request for
VALIDATION made pursuant to the above-named Title and Section. I respectfully request your
offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you.
At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of
the 3 major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian or TransUnion) this action may constitute fraud under
both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit
reports by your company or the company that you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal
action against you and your client for the following: Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act,
Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and Defamation of Character.
If your offices are able to provide the proper documentation as requested in the following
Declaration, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information, during which time all
collection activity must cease and desist. Also, during this validation period, if any action is taken
which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with my legal
counsel for suit. This includes any listing of any information to a credit reporting repository that could
be inaccurate or invalidated.
If your office fails to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your
receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my
credit file and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately.
Sincerely,
___________________
