Received multiple letters stating that I had a deliquent debt of over $13,000 to the Department of Labor. That they had had been hired by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Services, to collect this debt. That my failure to could result in a referral to the U.S. Department of Justice for legal action.

I have resided at my current residence for over 30 years. I have had the same mailing address for over 32 years. I have been employed with the same state agency for over 35 years. I have filed completed tax returns for over 40 years. I am sure that if I owed any branch of the U.S. goverment any money, they could have easily found me. I have never been contact by any govermental agency claiming that I owe them any money.

Send them a letter via Certified Mail + Return Receipt stating:

Per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, I am requesting written validation of this alleged debt, which includes:

- a copy of the original signed contract with my signature
- validation of the original "Date of Delinquency" for this alleged debt
- validation of the "Date of Last Activity" for this alleged debt
- validation that this alleged debt is within the statute of limitations.
=====================
* DO NOT sign your signature on any document that you mail to a debt collector. It could end up on a forged document that can be used against you. Simply type your full name.

When they call back, tell them: I have sent a certified letter to your office officially requesting written validation of this alleged debt per my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

Per this federal law they must provide written validation within 30 days and they must cease collection activity until they send you written validation. Do not let them scare you with bogus threats during this period.
