Does a copy of an invoice constitute validation?


Recommended Posts

I sent a DV to a CA, they sent me back a copy of an invoice which gave the breakdown of the amount, what I tems were purchased etc. It did not bear a signature or a correct address.

Does this constitute validation?

They also provided a letter from the OC assigning the original debt to them but no licensing information for collcting a debt in the state of Florida.

An opinion letter from the FTC regarding validation: http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/letters/wollman.htm

"Mere itemization of what the debt collector already has does not accomplish this purpose."

I don't think they're under any obligation to send you licensing information. I find that on my own.

At a minimum, the debt collector is required to confirm with the original creditor the amount being claimed is correct and that the person from whom they are attempting to collect the debt is the person who owes it.

So no, a printout of their records is not validation.
