On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I sent a certified letter to Grant & Weber requesting verification of the debt they have been reporting on my credit profile. The debt total {$150.00} + {$50.00} for interest. I have yet to receive validation of this debt. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I decided to send a letter to settle this debt and have it removed from my credit profile. Since the amount would total XXXX I figured I would save my self time and money and send them a request to settle this account. On XXXX/XXXX/2015, I received a letter from Grant and Weber stating they have no record that I made no attempt to contact their office. I have attached the XXXX certified letter receiptsand copy of the letter I received from Grant & Weber on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I was under the impression that they are required within 30 days to respond with proof of this debt belong to me. The letter dated XXXX/XXXX/2015 was not validation but a collection letter, they totally ignored validating this account.
