Anonymous Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 I faxed a CA a validation letter on July 16, 2002. One 8/6/02 I received a letter demanding payment for this account. I calledthem and let them now they were in violation of the FCRA, and so on. Now on 8-9-02 they sent me a letter stating:In response to the fax you sent to us and the specific request you have made, please assit us and provide additional identifying information. They ask for my Social Security number, previous address, and date of birth.Is it my responsibility to provide them with this info? I thought it was thier responsibility to prove this to me?Thanks for any help you can offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niner849 Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 Don't give them any of your personal information!! If the account is yours, they should already have that information. I would send them another validation letter and see what happens. In my opinion, it sounds like they may not be able to validate. If I wrong, someone can correct me, but please don't give them your personal information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 Are they high? They are reporting the information to the CRA's and now they want your help in validating it?? If they have enough info put a derogatory remark you're credit files, then they should have enough info to find that without your help. I would tell them to KMA and send a 15 day validation.

jordanmorganusa Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Thanks, Swede. I just spit Sunny Delight on my screen and half choked to death. Of COURSE they are high. Higher than kites, they are. All of 'em. Of course, I do believe that is a prerequisite for being a DC. DOH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 I had to smile myself when I was reading picklesgirl's post, the little tricks they try to pull. I guess on a sad note, imagine the millions of people who haven't found this board and doesn't know their rights and get completely screwed by these bottom feeders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
