I sent them the following letter for which they have totally ignored. i have asked a friend to file suit against them:
This letter is being sent to you in response to a notice sent to me on 6-28-2010. This is not a refusal to pay. Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 (b), I am disputing your claim and requesting validation of the debt. Your records state that I owe $ 708.12
I request that your offices provide me with evidence that I have a legal obligation to pay you including proof of the debt, the name and address of the original creditor, and the original account number. Please also provide me with your license numbers and your Registered Agent to show that you are licensed to collect in my state.
I request that you cease all collection activity while you collect the aforementioned information. This includes listing the information on my credit report. If you do not comply, I will file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and the state Attorney General. Civil and criminal claims will be pursued.
I appreciate your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
Best Regards,
