Incorrect Account Number on Validation Letter

Send a follow up DV and inform them that you have no record of ever having an account with that creditor or that account number.

Thanks for the info. I'm in Ohio, but I still appreciate the links as well. So, say they did change the account numbers to re-age the account, is that legal? And they do have thier own internal account number as well, but the one thats different is the original creditors account number.
