Response to DV letter seems pretty weak
portfolio
I sent in a request to portfolio for dv a couple months ago and I got this back: Orignal Creditors name...hsbc Original Creditors address... 225 Randolph ST Chicago IL Account Holders name..Mine date opend acct..8/1/2007 Account Holders last 4 ssn...**** current outstanding bal...650.00 along with them saying that they had been assigned, sold or transferred the account on 12/23/2008 and that they had an electronic transfer of the business records of this account. I sent them a second DV saying they had not responded with proper DV and that since they had an electronic transfer of my file they should have no problem proving this debt. All the information they sent to the first DV was on Portfolio letterhead. I recieved their response today for the second DV. It states: However, since you have submitted a dispute that is substantially the same as a dispute previously submitted by you and we have already responded to this dispute, then as per ther Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USCS 1681s-2(a)(8)(f)(ii), we are notifying you that such a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant. If we continue to receive subsequent correspondence from you regarding a dispute that has already been resolved, we will consider your inquiry answered. No further replies will be forthcoming unless you provide the information we need to assist you. Our office considers this matter closed.
So should I consider the debt validated or is that just verification and I'm suppose to offer to pay them now?
