I sent a dv to them and it was signed for 2 days before the 30 day period was up..the letter was dated 6/30/09 and the cmrrr was signed 7/28/09. Hadnt heard anything else from them.
Today received a letter from The Brachfeld Law Group with the same address offering me a settlement. The letter is dated 8/07/09. On this letter there isnt anything about having 30 days to dispute. Just says I have til 8/29/09 to accept their offer.
My question is have they violated any laws by sending this letter with out validation or can they just change the name at the top and send out another letter acting like they have never received a dv request? What actions should I take?

Well, collection agencies often practice several such unfair means to collect debts. It's nothing unusual of them.
I'd rather suggest that you again send a DV letter addressing the new firm. If their process repeats, report them to the FTC.
DV the law group as well. Do not make any settlement with prope
DV the law group as well. Do not make any settlement with proper validation. Keep a copy of that letter, and the green slip from the post office. If it is a collection letter from a "different" firm, then it should have the mini miranda on it. If it is from the same firm, then they violated the FDCPA by not ceasing collection activity. If they won't validate the debt, and continue trying to collect, then I would get a lawyer and sue them.

This crooked company levied my bank account with fraudulent papers, a summons I never received and they do not have my signature on anything. They are attorneys for LVNV and they stole 7,000 dollars from my bank account my savings and CD I am on SSI and this was done for a debt, which is not my debt, it was my daughters debt who filed bankrupcy and they came after me because she added me on a sears account as a user, how does this go on in the United States and why are honest people victimized by these fraudulent companies and attorneys. Now I have to go to court and fight to get my money back I reported them to the FTC, the bb bureau consumers rights and also the President, but what good it does is beyond me. Why does this go on read all the e-mails about these companies. Help??????????
The first thing that you need to do is to verify the judgement.
The first thing that you need to do is to verify the judgement. Go to the clerk of your county court and find out when the papers were served, and how they were served. It may not have even been in your county, which would be improper venue. If you did not receive the summons, thenyou have improper service. I would also get a copy of the judgement.
If you were an authorized user only, then you are not liable for the card. If you were on the card as a joint account holder, then you are responsible.
About 2 get UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i settle with this company on 5/28/09 and i have called about a letter for a up date on my credit report and now they are saying that they no longer have my acct and didn't get any money, but that's not what my bill statement say!

File a complaint with the BBB, the FTC, your state Attorney Gene
File a complaint with the BBB, the FTC, your state Attorney General, the Bureau of Consumer Affairs, etc. I hope you got a settlement agreement letter before you paid them.
