How did you ask for the validation? If you simply demanded that they validate the account, their response may suffice. Below is from an article I found, written by Daniel Edelman, a well-known fdcpa attorney:
Quote:
The Fourth Circuit has held that ???????verification of a debt involves nothing more than the debt collector confirming in writing that the amount being demanded is what the creditor is claiming is owed; the debt collector is not required to keep detailed files of the alleged debt.???????

A collector can always be requested to give the breakdown of the debt even if it is not mentioned in the fdcpa. A consumer can always do the homework by calculating the charges and fees on the total debt. If the collector shows a higher amount than expected, it needs to be immediately disputed. They will have to clarify the dispute with the creditor and return correct information to the person.
