Hi all, Sent out validation to a paid CA. It was an estoppel/validation letter. I recieved the green card, then disputed it with exp. It came back verified today and I haven't received anything at all from this CA. Its only for a 50 dollar cable bill that I stupidly paid the CA last year, but they keep on verifying it. Is this going to be the same instance for an unpaid collection where it is a violation that they verfied the info without sending me validation? If so, Whats the next best step? Send letter to EXP saying that how can they verify this if the CA is not replying to my requests for validation, or send the CA an ITS letter and then file suit if they continue to ignore me? Thanks for any input!
You might wait for someone else's opinion on this, but I think the idea behind "catching" the CAs on violations like this (verfiying with CRA when they aren't supposed to) is to build a case against them that will result in 1 -- a trial, where you will present all their many, egregious violations or 2 -- a weak-kneed CA sees the big book you've built on them and they offer to settle with you in the form of deletion and/or cash. So with that in mind, I don't think a person is ready to go to court with just the one violation. Seems like the estoppel/validations are a series of letters ... I'm sure there is one for your exact situation since it seems to happen often to lots of people. Maybe someone else has more detailed information to give you. peace, delilah
