1. The agreement with their client that authorized them to collect on the debt
2. Agreement that bears signature of the alleged debtor where he promises to pay the original creditor.
3. Complete payment history on the account to proove the amount and dates are correct.
CA responded that they do not find my response to be valid and that now I need to write back to them and give them a specific reason for disputing the debt and supporting documentation to substantiate my basis for dispute.
I thought that under the FDCPA they had to respond to my request within 30 day without any questions. Am I required to give them a reason for my dispute and supporting documentation - - which btw I don't have hence the reason for my questioning them.

1. They don't have a specific time period in which they have to reply (except in TX). That 30 days you're thinking of is the time they have to allow you to dispute the debt.
2. You do not have to give them a reason for anything. Just tell them you are requesting validation of the debt as per your rights under the FDCPA and you would like to see the original signed contract that proves you are the person responsible for the alleged debt.
