Got another reply back on Debt Verification Letter...it kinda looks like a fishing expidition and delaying tactic maybe ?
This is actually from a Doctors Office (Orthodontist) in W.V. listing on my credit report as S.E. 2 Investments real weird
Anyway the contents are as follows:
Dear [My Full Name here]
I received your letter regarding your credit report. I have tried to contact Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to get additional information regarding your account. The credit agencies are unable to give me information unless I have your Social Security Number.
I cannot find any records in my office relating to your name. I will need aditional information to help you solve this problem.
If you could please contact my office as soon as possible I will try to help get this matter resolved.
Sincerely
[His Name]
He has to think I am a fool if I am going to revel my Social Security Number to him, especially as I have never lived in W.V., have never had Orthodotic Work done by any dentist esp $4,000+ worth. And besides his S.E.2 Investments has it listed as a Legal Repossession. What did he Repo? Teeth? LOL...and besides if we had done business togeter he should have that information already.
My Social Security Number I never like to give out and will always find alternatives to using it for Identification purposes, I dont even have it listed on my Drivers License.
Guess I will have to draft a follow up letter and include a copy of his listing from my credit report as a answer for more info, But I dont think this should increase his time to validate my Debt past the 30 days afforded onced asked for.
Any opinions on this one?
