Consumer Narrative
I have asked repeatedly for debt validation. I have asked for a copy of the original contract with my signature as well as itemized list of the balances owed. I also asked. The collection company has refused to provide the information. I am either placed on hold for hours with the phone repeatedly hanging up and no response to the letters. However they are reporting to my credit. Each report is reporting a different amount due.
