When asked for verification of debt, I was presented with a printout that did not include the name of the creditor or their contact info. The letter did not state that they are an authorized agent. The printout had codes and information that I could not readily understand. 

The best I can see at this point is that I was issued a parking ticket XXXX with a penalty of {$20.00} - XXXX years old. I threw away accounting records in accordance with the IRS suggested 7 years, so I can not verify using my own records. It must have been paid because the printout has the account go from & lt ; XXXX & gt ; to & lt ; XXXX & gt ; XXXX. On XXXX, it is changed & lt ; XXXX & gt ; to & lt ; XXXX & gt ;, but changed again XXXX to & lt ; XXXX & gt ;. In another area, it says the late fee is {$5.00}. And yet another has the late fees waived " based on effective payment. " The debt has not been shown to be valid.
