ACCOUNT- 4266
I am writing this letter in response to the phone call I received from a collector
representing your agency last week. Your collector informed me that I owed YOU an
alleged debt (see enclosed). When I questioned the collector regarding your rights
to pursue this, I was curtly informed that YOUR FIRMS policy DID NOT permit any
validation of the information regarding this alleged debt and under YOUR corporate
policy representative WERE NOT required to provide me with ANY documentation
supporting its validity.

link to their site where I took this information from verbatim and the procedure to
report and initiate a regulatory action against your company for violation of the Fair
Debt Collection Practices ACT!

limitations applicable to it? Tell me when you think the statute of limitations expires
for this debt, and how you determined that.
