Consumer Narrative
I, XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer has attempted to reach out to XXXX XXXX XXXX to receive credible information to validate and verify the alleged debt. I sent a debt validation and cease & desist on XX/XX/XXXX and have yet to receive the information requested from the company. I do not owe this alleged debt. This company has violated my consumer rights and disregarded my attempts to assess the alleged debt. I have been in contact with the credit reporting since XX/XX/XXXX and I still don't know how or where this debt has been verified. I'm aware that these are both FCRA & FDCPA violations. I need assistance with this matter as soon as possible because I have not been provided with answers from either XXXX XXXX XXXX or the credit reporting agencies. I also have certified receipts from USPS for the letters I have been sending since XXXX.
