Sending a DV Letter Certified Mail

Hopefully this isn't a dumb question:  I want to send out ao DV letter to National Credit Solutions for an alledged BMG Music Service account .  According to my Experian credit report it was opened on 12/2008.  I've never had an account w/BMG.  I also never received any communication from BMG or NCS ever in life.  This is not my first time sending them a DV letter.  The first time they sent back some mess in a grid that told me nothing about they account.  I want to know when they account was opened, what address whatever the heck was ordred was sent to, something tangible to show proof.  I immediately sent another DV letter back advising that wasn't satisfactory & they never responded.  I'm almost tempeted to just send a PIF letter to get it off my report but I've been reading that apparently this is a company that preys on people that will do that.  So, I've looked around & gotten a sample DV letter but I'm confused b/c it wants you to list your certified mail number on the letter.  Now, I'm thinking that I'm not going to obtain that number until I go to USPS & at the time my letter will already be in an envelope, so if that's the case how can I include that number in my letter.  Can someone please advise how they send out their letters certified & which option you select?

Yes you can send them a DV letter. You will need to go to the Post Office and send it Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested. I always do the electronic form, instead of waiting to get the green card back.

 

By doing electronic you go online to usps.com enter the Certified Mail # and when it is signed for they will send you an email. (ofcourse with you providing them the info)

Rebuilding and Reducing Debt, is my game plan.

And if you pick up some of those forms in advance, you can include the #.  I haven't done that yet, though.

Yeah that's what I always do, pick up a bunch of the green cards for the certified letters and the signature required receipts so I can include the certified # in the letter.

 

good luck
