Best process for removing inaccurate collections?

Hi, 2 questions please on removing inaccurate collections. 1. I understand you should first send a DV letter instead of disputing through CRAs is this correct? 2. On some of these collections I am fairly certain I did not receive dunning letters. Should I mention this in the first DV letter and request a copy of the initial dunning letter, or is it better to not mention this at first?

Re: Best process for removing inaccurate collections?

send disputes directly to the creditors. 

 

Send them certified w/ return reciept.

 

That's your best method.

 

(Perhaps PFD, depending on your situations)
