Re: please help

FDCPA doesn't give them a time frame to respond to the DV. However, they can not pursue collection activities until they do validate.
 
In a sense, he is correct, as long as they do not attempt to collect.

IF a CA is already reporting on your CR....you DV   CMRRR....................They have 30 days to answer or they must stop reporting!!
 
The CA is correct  they do not have to respond to the DV   BUT   they can NOT report after the 30 days.
 
You should never call or talk to a CA!!!!!!!!  everything in writting!
 
File a dispute with all CRAs reporting as * not mine *   along with a copy of the DV letter....cert.paper and GC along with this letter
 
read ever line & change or delete where needed
 
fax or CMRRR  to the CRAs!

RE: Account #_________/Original Creditor’s Name
 
Dear CRA:
 
This is a request for deletion of a disputed item. I have attempted to have this allleged debt
verified by the alleged creditor and collection agency to no avail. I am respectfully requesting that
"Collection Agency" do what is legally mandated by the FCRA and FDCPA, and delete the account listing.
 
Name of Creditor/Agency, Account #_________
 
On XX XX 08, "Collection Agency" received a demand for validation from me. Attached is a copy of that letter along with the U.S. Post Office return receipt showing they did indeed receive the request.
 
 
As of today, XX XX 2008, they have failed to provide any proof or respond in any way.
On XX XX 08, I sent a second letter. Again, I have received no response. Attached is a copy of the
letter and the U.S. Post Office showing they did receive that letter.
 
The FDCPA states they must cease collection activity until they have produced verification of the
alleged debt if so requested. As per the FTC, this includes reporting to the credit bureaus, which
they obviously have done illegally. It is quite evident that no such proof of this alleged debt exists
or they would have provided it in the previous X months since it was requested.
 
Also, when an alleged debt is disputed, a notation must be entered on the debtors report showing the
item as in dispute. Again, this was not done. Another violation of the FDCPA. (DELETE THIS PARAGRAPH IF IT DOES NOT APPLY!!)
 
As per the FCRA, if no proof of debt exists, it may not be reported to the credit reporting bureaus.
The FCRA also states that the credit reporting agencies must accept written proof from the debtor.
Therefore, I am not asking for an investigation to be done, I am requesting that the entry be deleted
in its entirety as there is no proof of its existence as evidenced by my attached documented proof.
Sincerely,
 
Please mail an updated credit report

Your Name
