RE: Follow-up to Debt Validation Request - Account #[ACCOUNT NUMBER]

Dear Sir/Madam:

I am writing as a follow-up to my debt validation request dated [DATE], which was sent via certified mail.

To date, I have not received the required written verification of this debt. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, you were required to provide this verification within 30 days of receipt of my request.

Your failure to provide debt validation constitutes a violation of federal law. I am formally requesting that you:

• Immediately cease all collection activity on this account
• Provide written validation of the debt within 5 business days
• Remove this account from all credit reports if validation cannot be provided

If I do not receive satisfactory validation within the specified timeframe, I will pursue legal action against your agency for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, including damages for illegal collection practices.

Please send your response via certified mail to the address listed above.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
