I have the cajunbulldog validation letter
However, when I read fdcpa 809 b I do not see any mention of the following from the statement "what I need you to provide as the debt validation"

Prove the statute of limitations has not expired
Licensed to collect in my state
Provide license numbers / Registered agent


Please understand I am not trying to pick apart the letter, I really like it. I have an attorney that does not have a lot or expertise in these matters and am trying to help the attorney send a bulletproof validation letter, including specific statutes as necessary.

I have also reviewed the Brennon v Spears case study.

Ok first off that letter is one I picked up here on the site. It is worded to push a ca to give up anything they have and to give you info that would be needed if going into court is necessary. Enclosed is a link to a topic here where validation is discussed in detail with myself and Law Student furnishing the case cites or ftc opinion letters.have a good read and let me know if anything else is needed.

Lawstudent refers to a Chaundhry letter.The collections industry is making a grave error thinking that case supports this letter. I invite anyone to read the entire case and you will see it actually increases the level of evidence required to validate instead of lowering it. Just google the Name Chaundhry and you will find it for those with no access to case cites.

Chaundhry was very different in that he was requesting validation on fees which had not yet been incurred, attorneys fees among other things. Besides that, it is totally irrelevant to the types of validation we discuss on these forums. I read that many CAs started using this in their boggus affidavits because of one article from the American Collectors Assoc., written by a nonlawyer, and who was dealing with matters beyond his grasp. This alone should result in quite a number of law suits.

Lawstudent,you are correct that many ca's quote it out of context and by reading the entire decision,you could use their own cited case to destroy them. The reason judge did not budge on the second requested validation in that case was twofold. One,fees were ongoing & two they asked for info(documents) that would violate attorney/client privilege.
