Good 2 hear back from you again Scott. Ok...
"since this is not yours..." Here's where I'm at.
I'm compelled to stick to what I can PROOVE. I can't say that this is or isn't a debt that I owe. I haven't recieved any information to proove or disproove that it is or isn't. Could be a total fabrication. Could be some clerk somewhere that typed a 3 instead of a 4! I don't know. At this point it's all about finding out what the rules are and gathering information. The only thing that I've read that collectors have to provide in regards to prooving that a person owes money is "name and address of original creditor" and the word "validate" comes up here and there. And, oh goodie, there's no time limit on that one. This is after jamming through the FDCA and the FCRPA a few times. For now, I've come to the conclusion that the term "validate" is SUBJECTIVE. How annoying. It blows my mind to think that consumers and CRAs aren't REALLY playing by the same set of rules. Let alone the collection agencys. Good grief. If there were a CLEAR definition of what these dopes have to provide, it would sure help. Nonetheless, at the very least, they failed to provide the address of the original creditor. Thank goodness for their lack of brain cells. But is that enough to base a suit on? Sounds pretty thin to me. I REALLY want to legally defeat these people, but I'm swinging at air so it seems. Can a court or judge ORDER them to release all records for discovery? Beats me. Sounds expensive. Also, there's much conflicting information as to what gives a CA the right to pull an inquiry. So... I guess I'm stuck as to what to do with that one.
I KNOW what's happening is wrong.
For cyin' out loud, they sent me a document that says: "You owe us because we say so". (And they're doing this to HUNDREDS of folks) Producing HARD evidence in this situation is like trying to catch an invisible teflon bug. I can HEAR the little pr!ck though.
