Validation failed?

I recently disputed and sent letters to several collection agencies. What I got back was a letter from the collector containing a letter from the original creditor saying they sold my account to xxxx and the last billing statement. 

 

Where do I go from here?

That is all that is necessary to validate. If in fact the debt is yours I would move to settle.

Not sure what validation you were expecting but it sounds like they responded with evidence that you owe them. Your next step is to try and negotiate a PFD.

I wish I knew if there were some effectiveness with sending validation letters, other than to validate that I owe the debt.  It seems like a counterproductive activity, so we want to move away from that. (Unless someone can convince us otherwise). You call the CAs, with your offer ready - for that day!!! - and tell them you want to settle. Make your offer. Tell them you need the agreement in writing. They will tell you that they cannot email - so have a fax number ready. 

 

On to the next..
