what now?

Sent Dv letter out on 4/01/08 CMRRR and never received the GC back. I'm pretty sure the address is correct. If was for Absolute Collection Agency in Raleigh, NC . What should i do next? Is the 15 day DV appropriate or should I send the same DV over again? I'm getting impatient.

Re: what now?

did you check online to see if it was delivered?  you can go to the post office and they can print all the info. that was on the GC
 
Then copy the DV letter,cert/paper & the info from the post office.......send it with the dispute to all CRAs reporting.

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,

Your Name
