All
I sent out a DV. Simple DV. No mention of the word DISPUTE. I used VALIDATE.
The CA has added the "Consumer Disputes" comments to my TLs. I haven't heard back from the CA (yet) but I'd like to fire off another DV -- stressing that I did not DISPUTE but wanted VALIDATION.
Thoughts? Or should I give it 30 days?

Nope, send it now.

Awesome thanks. I've bolded VALIDATE in the letter. I also added "THIS IS NOT A DISPUTE" after the CA address. Any thoughts on how this might help my cause?

That should cover it.
Seems this is the latest tactic by the CAs. They turn a DV into a dispute, then they validate the dispute and by the time it's done, the timeliness of the DV has passed and they haven't had to address it and keep trying to collect.

Thanks Shogun.
I should note that this is a very old account. I never recieved a dunning notice. Does that matter?
Also, I added a reference to the fact that adding comments does not consitue a proper validation. Thoughts?

If you never received a dunning notice then the DV would be timely. I wouldn't worry about the comment section, they know what a proper DV is.
