    www.bbb.org shows this, but it doesn't sound like a CA, but some CC "fraud" protection service:

    If you have a P.O. Box, you can ask the Post Office for the physical address, for purposes of legal service.

    In addition, with the physical address, you should be able to get city or county business license information, ownership, etc.

    If it is incorporated, the Secretary of State in that state should have on file the name and address for service of process.

    If it is not incorporated, they would have still filed a DBA in the county where they are located, in order to open their bank account, and possibly to obtain the P.O. Box in that name, if nothing else.

    very good idea...thank you. They are ignoring my second validation request, as well as my first, so i figure maybe they would like to explain why to a judge,

    when we get there, my complaint will be for reporting a debt during validation....not whether i actually owe it, because i do owe half.

    again thanks

    One of the purposes for validation is to determine whether the amount claimed as due is correct.


    Also dispute thru the CRA. Otherwise they can just blame the CRA, or claim they reported before getting your dispute.

    Provided you have disputed within 30 days of their first letter. they should not verify to the CRA if they have not validated to you, since that is continued collection.

    this is an old one, but i dont recall ever hearing from them.
    so i sent one validation, no response.
    sent a second with stronger wording and threat of a lawsuit with today being the deadline.

    so i think my only recourse is small claims court

    any other suggestions

    Did you dispute through the CRA, too?

    That's important.

    I disputed through them, but i understand thats a cursory check.......they basically ask if the debt is mine and thats it.

    I did let the cra's know i was asking for validation of the debt. Do i validate through the cra's also?
