What next?

Below is a letter I'm sending to two different CAs tomorrow. Assume one or both validates--what next?

Or, if I hear nothing--then what?

Do I contact the CBs in the meantime, or the original creditors?

Thanks--

Re: Acct # 9910101****

To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is being sent to you in response a collection account placed on my Experian and Equifax credit reports. This is not a refusal to pay, but a notice that your claim is disputed.

This is a request for validation made pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Please complete the attached form and follow its instructions and your claim will be processed as soon as this information is received.

Please 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 reporting such invalidated information to major credit bureaus might constitute fraud under federal and state law. You may wish to consult with a competent legal advisor before your next communication with me.

Please also be aware that the failure to remove invalidated negative information on my credit reports from your company or any company that you represent, this will result in my filing an immediate lawsuit against you and/or your client for 1) Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 2) Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 3) Defamation of Character, 4) Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud.

Pending the outcome of my investigation of any evidence that you submit, you are instructed to take no action that could be detrimental to any of my credit reports.

I suggest you and Sprint get your records in order before I have to target you for legal action.

It would behoove both parties not to let the matter escalate into a litigious affair over a nominal amount.

Best regards,




David C. Hill
