Is single monthly statement validation?

well one question.is the statement recent,or kind of old?i can procure real old statements,but if they are the most recent from this card(which i doubt)then i would count that as valdidation.again though knowing this JDB octopus that is LVNV i'm guessing the statement is old therefore i wouldn't accept it.re-send your DV letter with the re-request for further info.

The FDCPA does not require that they provide a paynent history. If the account has been purchased by LVNV, and you have made no payments, there is no payment history. You would have to go back yourself thru sears to get any other payment history.

What do they have to provide that they or LVNV owns the debt? In other words how do I know that they didn't just get my credit report see a delinquent account and contact me trying to collect? Also, what do they need to provide, if anything, to explain what they say I owe if a payment history from the original creditor is not needed? I would think they would have to provide some information at least from the point they owned the account?

The statement is from Dec '08 and is probably one of the last ones generated on the account by the OC.

What about the original contract or credit card application? Do they need to provide that under the FDCPA?

again i can get the statements if i wanted to.push for further info like yes something with your signature.even a transaction receipt will suffice,but just one page of statements?again i could get that if needed.doesn't validate a thing.
