I just checked. Thanks.

So for them just send an email attachment?

I literly just sent an email to the first two contacts on there,  basically saying I am unaware of this debt and I am looking for more information on it. Some people have used the CFPB to do similar, since they rarely respond to DVs anyway...

There are literally dozens of people on this forum who got EOS-CCA removed by either those email contacts,  CFPB or BBB. They are a light touch.

That letter is asking for things a CA simply does not have to supply you.

A DV should be a simple letter:  You are collecting on this alleged debt, account #______.  Per FDCPA 809, please validate.  Also include the name and address of the original creditor and an itemization of the debt.

Don't send them anything else, not even a copy of your CR.  It is there job to validate the debt, not yours.

I often wonder how many times, since 2008, that Guiness has responded to someone about that convoluted internet DV and how it asks for things not required to be provided....

(i dont really often wonder, I suppose I just wondered now lol)

2008?  Why that date?

Oh just because you registered in 2008 haha

I should have said "Since Guiness first corrected me in 2011, I wonder how many....'
