I have an account in collection on my credit report. I started an investigation with my credit reporting agencies (all 3) and sent the reporting company correspondance. I requested all information as requried by law under the FCRA. I have sent two certified letters to them and have received no reply. I am now going to the FTC and also looking at retaining an attorney. This company reporting an account delinquent for over 120 days and now in collection has dropped my FICO score nearly 40 points. They have not substantiated the claim with any paperwork whatsoever. Of the 3 Credit agencies, 1 removed it from my file (Exuifax), 1 investigated and claims it is valid (Experian),
1 i have not heard from (Trasunion).

After you sent your request they had 30 days to respond ..
From another consumer / collection agency site is a part of a letter to send to the agency ...
At this time I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major Credit Bureau's (Equifax, Experian or TransUnion) this action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you for the following:
Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act
Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
Also during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with my legal counsel for suit. This includes any listing any information to a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated or verifying an account as accurate when in fact there is no provided proof that it is.
If your offices fail to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit file and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately.
