What is considered proper validation?

This is a quote I found from another post on this subject:

He needs to show the legal paper showing the amount of the total debt.


The name of the creditor from whom the debt is taken by him.


The collection agency has to issue a statement that if the consumer does not dispute the debt within 30 days after validation, or any portion thereof, the debt will be considered valid by the collector.


A statement has to be produced that if the consumer disputes the debt within 30 days period, the collector has to obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and


The debt collector also has to issue a statement mentioning the name and address of the original creditor, if it is different from the current creditor upon the consumer's written request within the thirty-day period,

For an accurate picture of the debt collection practices as per the fdcpa act, please read this link of the Federal Trade Commission.

Thanks for the info.

So now do I send another letter stating they did not provide me with proper validation?

All I got from this CA was two manilla envelopes (on two seperate days) with no return address or anything identifying the CA, filled with duplicates of past statements.
