I sent about four different companies requests for validation on the 14th of April. It's now the 15th and i've heard nothing from any of them. obviously i'll wait a few more days for stragglers, but what then? I'm not sure what the next step is.
Also, a different question...
one of the places i sent a validation request to was the original creditor (Chase) I've heard nothing, but the CA bugs me... and the only validation they've given me is a sworn statement that they own the debt. Is that considered enough?
