Consumer Narrative
Be advised this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g stating your claim is disputed and validation is requested. This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above-named Title and Section. I respectfully request your offices provide me with competent evidence, such as a trilateral contract, that I have any legal obligation to pay you. I will need this documentary evidence to insure that your office isnt using unlawful extortionate means, as defined by 18 U.S. Code 891, with forethought and malice to bring harm to me or my financial reputation by making any false claims of securities, causing a tax liability. This documentation showing my legal obligation to pay you would insure me that there isnt any unlawful theft by deception, bank fraud, and creation of false and deceptive forms is in the act of taking place to a federally protected consumer, beneficiary, debtor, and holder in due course pursuant to UCC 3-306. If your offices can provide the proper documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information, during which time all collection activity must cease and desist. Also, during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will file for suit. This includes any listing of any information to a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated. If your office fails to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to these accounts must be deleted and completely removed from my credit file, if applicable, and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately.
