Re: Account Number
Dear Sir/Madam:
This is to notify you that in accordance with my rights under the federal debt collection laws, I am requesting you to cease and desist all further communication with me, as well as my family, friends and employers in regard to this and all other alleged debts you claim I owe.
You are hereby notified that failure to comply with this request will result in a complaint being filed with the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General’s office of my state. If you place any negative mark on my credit report as a result of this letter, then I will pursue civil and criminal claims against you.
I have no intentions to deal with you. I will contact the original creditor to resolve this matter, if necessary.
Sincerely,

Re: Account No:
To whom it may concern:
I received a copy of my credit report and noticed that there was a collection listed from your agency, which I was not notified about. This is not a refusal to pay, but this is a notice that your claim is disputed.
As pursuant with my rights under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA), I requesting you to validate the debt you say I owe you. I am requesting you to prove that I am indeed the person whom you are asking to pay this debt, and if yes then the documents that show that I legally owe the money to you.
This letter is also a notification that you must stop reporting this information to the credit bureau until and unless you validate the debt in writing.
Please provide me the following information in your reply:
1. The agreement in which the creditor has authorized you to collect debt on the alleged debt.
2. The signed contract where I have confirmed to pay to the original creditor
3. Documents from the creditors that gives the complete transaction and payment history of the account
4. Name and address of the Original Creditor.
6. Proof that the alleged debt is not out of statute
7. Evidence that you are licensed to collect this debt in my State
8. Copy of your Debt Collection Rights License.
Sincerely
Your Name
