The original balance. The current balance. Any fees added by your agency. Sec. 392.303 ( a ) ( 2 ). I did not sign any agreement and/or contract with this company regarding any allege debt. And this company should provide a valid recorded copy of an assignment of transfer to be able to attempt to collect on noncollectable debt after the statute of Limitations. Texas Surety bond information as required by Sec. 392.101 - my original signature on the application from the creditor - my original signature on an application with your office consenting to any service Please note XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX are bonded in the state of Texas and are required to comply with Texas Finance Code.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681g I have the right to demand that you disclose to me all of the documents that you have recorded and retained in your file at the time of this request concerning the accounts that you are reporting in my credit report.

This company is also attempting to collect debt that has exceeded the statute of limitations in the state of Texas. This company does not have my permission to call me on any cell phone I may have possessed, currently possess or will possess in the future. They need to cease and desist their threats to sue requesting that I submit a written plaintiff statement in my defense and schedule a time and location for delivery of whatever, which is a violation of collection practices to threaten to sue someone or deliver lawsuit/judgment items to their place of employment. I am seeking an attorney to discuss a class action lawsuit as I believe this is their practice and they are violating several laws including Texas Finance Code 392.202 ( b ) ( 2 ), FCRA, FDCPA, Texas Debt Collection Act and TCPA 47 U.S. Code 227. These calls are harassment and have been going on for months, which is a violation of FDCPA. A complaint has also been filed with the Texas Attorney Generals office. I will also be filing a lawsuit in the state of Texas due to the violation of the TCPA and FDCPA. Please reply with your response via US MAIL. Do not contact me by phone as it is inconvenient.
