In response to my recent conversation with your customer service
representative, I'd like to present a complete assessment of my financial
situation.
Unfortunately, I have a lot of debt and not enough funds to pay all my
creditors. So, I'll be able to negotiate and settle debt with a few creditors

The final debt amount that we agreed upon is $_________. As part of the
settlement agreement, I request you to co-ordinate with the credit bureaus in
order to remove negative entry (late payment, collections etc) on my account

Given my situation, I hope you'll refrain from taking further action against
me as payment will be maintained as decided in the agreement. I shall
review my financial situation on a regular basis and inform you about any
change, positive or negative.
I hope you'll understand my situation and co-operate with me in this hour of

Dear Creditor,
After a long period of financial crisis, I'm finally in a position where I can
take care of my debt whose account number is given above. I would
appreciate in advance all efforts your company is willing to take in order to
help me resolve my debt problems. I'm sincerely trying to settle this debt and

I have already reached acceptable settlements with a couple of creditors and

However, I'd like to regain my credit rating and if you can help me do so, I'd

Dear Collection Manager,
This is to inform you that I've recently pulled my credit report and noticed
that there's a collection from your agency on my credit report. I have never
been notified of this collection. However, this letter does not imply that I
refuse to pay this debt. Rather, I would like to dispute your claim.
As per the FDCPA, I have the right to request a validation of this debt. I
request you to prove that I am indeed the party who is by contract obligated
to pay off this debt.
I hope you are aware of the fact that reporting any invalidated information to
major credit bureaus may constitute defamation of character, as negative
listing on credit report does not allow me to enjoy the benefits of good
credit. In addition, you must also be aware that until you validate this debt,
you can neither continue collection activities nor report this information on
my credit report. I'm sure your legal staff will agree that non-compliance
with this request is likely to put your company in serious legal trouble with
the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other state/federal agencies.
Please attach copies of the following documents:
Agreement with your client that authorizes you to collect on this alleged
debt.
Agreement that bearssignature of the alleged debtor wherein he promises to
pay the creditor.
Complete payment history on this account so as to prove that the debt
amount you wish to collect is correct.

According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), I have the

with relevant documentation should you carry on your collection activities.
Unfortunately, I have received no reply from you except the confirmation
(by mail) that you did receive my request for validation of debt on [date].
However, the credit bureaus have already sent in their "verified" documents.
As per an opinion letter published by the FTC, reporting this collection is
considered as collection activity. I hereby notify that you are now in
violation of the FDCPA and subject to a fine of $1,000 (refer to the Act for
the updated value), which I can collect by filing a claim in the small claims
court. I intend to follow through with the claim if I don't hear back from you
within the next 15 calendar days.
This letter is to remind you that reportingsuch invalidated information to the
credit bureaus can result in defamation of character, as any negative marking
on my credit report would adversely affect my credit. I hope your legal staff
will agree that non-compliance with this request could lead your company to

names, addresses and phone numbers of those who have beencontacted for
the process. This is my right according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
It is really disappointing to find a credit bureau not following the procedures
and not maintaining the accuracy norms. I would request you to comply with
the laws and furnish me the information I've asked for within a period of 15
days.
Through this letter, I am resubmitting my request to make the reinvestigation
and verification processes faster.
