Demand: (1) the exact amount claimed including all fees, (2) name and address of original creditor, (3) proof the collector is licensed in your state and authorized to collect, (4) copy of original signed agreement, (5) complete chain of assignment from original creditor to current collector.
Include a clear statement that you are disputing the debt and invoking your validation rights. State that collection activity must cease until validation is complete and adequate.
Address the letter to the exact legal name and address on the collector's correspondence. Send via USPS Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested. Keep the tracking number and green card indefinitely.
If you don't receive a response within 30-45 days, follow up with a second certified letter noting their failure to validate. At this point, consider filing CFPB and state AG complaints.
