    I am disputing some collection accounts on my CR. What do I dispute them as? I have read several things here. Some people say, dipute them as "Not Mine" and some people say to dispute them as paid. Which one has the better chances of having them taken off?? Thanks.

    Disputing them as "not mine" worked for me.
    I figured if I just disputed them as "paid" then all that the CRA would do would be to stamp "paid collection" on my report. Paid collection or not paid collection is the same....a collection account.

    Best bet is to get it removed entirely.

    RE: Account #_________/Original Creditorâ??s Name

    Dear Sir/Madame:

    Thank you for your recent inquiry. This is not a refusal to pay, but a notice that your claim is being disputed. This is a request for validation made pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Please complete and return the attached disclosure request form.

    Be advised that I am not requesting a "verification" that you have my mailing address, I am requesting a "validation;" that is, competent evidence that I have some contractual obligation to pay you.

    You should also be aware that sending unsubstantiated demands for payment through the United States Mail System might constitute mail fraud under federal and state law. You may wish to consult with a competent legal advisor before your next communication with me.

    Your failure to satisfy this request within the requirements of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act will be construed as your absolute waiver of any and all claims against me, and your tacit agreement to compensate me for costs and attorney fees.

    Sincerely,


    Your Name don't sign
