What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NE
I have sent a validation letter in response to a recent debt collection letter that I received that asked for the following information:
1. Agreement with the creditor that authorizes you to collect on this alleged debt
2. The agreement bearing my signature stating that I have agreed to assume the debt
3. Valid copies of the debt agreement stating the amount of the debt and interest charges
4. Proof that the Statute of Limitations has not expired
5. Complete payment history on this account along with an accounting of all additional charges being assessed
6. Show me that you are licensed to collect in my state; and
7. Your license numbers and Registered Agent
The debt collection agency has only responded with a print out of the amount owed with the name of the original creditor without address. All of the information provided about the original creditor just shows $0 owed and the debt collection agency claims this is due to them charging it off. However, it does not demonstrate original amount owed in debt. None of the information that I asked for is provided. Is there anything else I can do? Is there any way that they can report this to the credit bureaus since they have not provided the information that I have requested?
Also, it is outside of the statute of limitations in my state, so I am not concerned with being sued. I just do not want it reported to the credit bureaus as I do not believe it is a valid debt.
