received collection from Portfolio recovery XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I sent standard validation letter certified U.S. Mail # XXXX XXXX/XXXX/15 asking for the min. requirements according to the FCRA and FDCPA. 1. proof of debt with original signature saying i agreed to any such debt ( pretty basic ) 2. proof amount of debt is correct and legal requiring all credits and debits from original creditor. 3. proof they own the debt which will require the entire contract and terms between them and the original creditor. not just a bill of sale. 4 proof they are legally licensed, insured and bonded with business license numbers. I asked for this to be done according to the law within 30 days or please drop the collection and remove all derogatory markers from my credit report. Their response was an account statement with none of the burdens of the law being met. I received nothing that i had requested in accordance to my rights under the law. I also asked in my verification letter that there be no contact by phone according to my rights under the law of which they violated by calling me at my place of employment. When contacted by phone before speaking we both had agreed that the conversation would be recorded by both parties of which i have the recording. As of XXXX XXXX 2015 they still have not met the requirements of the validation letter and still are reporting this un validated debt to the credit agencies so I reached out to them and spoke with a gentleman named XXXX of which he gave me their fax number. I then faxed a XXXX page cover and a XXXX page validation letter ( the same validation letter i sent on XXXX/XXXX/15 ) again of which I have confirmation with still no response as of XXXX/XXXX/15. Today XXXX/XXXX/15 I called portfolio recovery and was on the phone with XXXX XXXX employee # XXXX for more than XXXX minutes he was a supervisor. I once again went over the letter i had send XXXX. I asked him if he could please meet the requirements of the law and the simple things I was asking for? His response was no and there was nothing he could do about removing the trade marker from my credit reports. Kind of disturbing his answer was to me about an account he could not legally verify. I know for a fact this is nonsense. This company 's actions and process 's are in total arrogance and violation to the law. There actions are a form of credit ransom where they believe they are the kidnappers and they play a game of pay and we will set you free. I am only asking that they be held to the letter of the law according to the FCRA and the FDCPA. If they can not meet the requirements then drop it and remove the marker and we both go on with our lives. I am currently contemplating pursuing legal actions against them if we can not come to some sort of compliance.
