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

I would send JJ this one CRRR or FEDEX & fax them using FAXAWAY (Christine from Bayhouse recommends it)


But then again I am only 7mos old newbie....

 

On the Questionnaire, I always like to add a few lines asking them for the name, phone number and address for their "Agent of Service" in my State. It makes them think twice about playing games, because once you have that information, its just a few easy steps to drag them into small claims court.
