In short this was for online gambling i disputed the funds.. All this is occurring with the original creditor (have not been forwarded to a CA yet). Now i sent them a debt validation letter (even though i know the OC does not have to follow the fdcpa Rules). Any advice on how i should respond would be great.

Dear Mr. blah,
Account # blah

Our processor has notified us that you have disputed two deposits totaling $1,000.00. Please note that these funds have been debited from your BetUS account and you will be required to repurchase immediately. Failure to repurchase will result in your account being permanently disabled. We will also be forced to forward your information to our third party collection agency which may result in derogatory credit reporting.

We ask that you contact us at 1-800-580-1723 at earliest convenience to resolve this matter.

Regards,

Peyton, Payment Agent

Follow Up After I sent Debt Validation Letter:

Quote:
Dear Mr. blah,

Thank you for your thorough response. Please note that the previous message was sent out to you as a result of disputed deposits you have made with BetUS, an online merchant. Authorizing transactions and then disputing them is a form of online financial fraud. You have been advised of this by email as a courtesy; failure to repurchase the disputed purchases which total $1,000.00 will result in your account information being forwarded to a third party credit bureau for negative credit reporting.

Regards,

Ticket History
===================


I know absolutely nothing about online betting or how any of that works, so I am of no use there. On what grounds are you disputing the deposits?

I only have experience with requesting debt validations once the debt has gone to a third-party collector, so not sure as far as what the actual creditor is obligated to provide. Hopefully, another more knowledgeable forum member can provide you with some help.
