I sent written disputes to Vance & Huffman LLC requesting validation of an alleged debt. Both letters were sent by certified mail and were received, which is confirmed by the signed green cards. The response I received did not properly validate the debt. The documents provided do not clearly identify the original creditor and do not explain the relationship between the entities referenced in the documents and the creditor name being reported on my credit report. Despite my dispute, the account continues to be reported and verified with the credit bureaus.

Debt collection· Written notification about debtTX

I discovered a collection account reported by Vance & Huffman LLC in XX/XX/XXXX for {$1500.00}. The account appears to relate to a XXXX XXXX XXXX loan from approximately XXXX. I never received any written notice from Vance & Huffman informing me they had taken over this debt or that this amount was owed. Additionally, the account is reporting Vance & Huffman as the original creditor and shows an opened date of XX/XX/XXXX, which appears inaccurate because the loan originated with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX.

Debt collection· Written notification about debtTX

This collection account from Vance & Huffman ( Original Creditor : Balance Credit Account XXXX {$1800.00} ) appeared on my credit report without me ever receiving the required written notice of the debt. I never received any validation notice, collection letter, or communication before this account was reported to the credit bureaus. After discovering the account, I requested proper debt validation multiple times, at least three to four separate requests, and I still have not received any documentation validating this debt. At this point it has been well over 90 days since my initial request. Because of the lack of response and the continued reporting of this collection account, I have filed complaints with the Federal Trade Commission and my State Attorney General regarding this matter. I have also consulted with an attorney regarding the companys failure to provide validation after repeated requests.

I am writing to formally request debt validation for a collection account mentioned in a letter I recently received. Under my rights through the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I ask that your office provide clear proof that the debt is valid. This should include the name of the original creditor, the amount owed, a full payment record, and proof that I am responsible for this debt. I am making this request to ensure the information being reported is accurate and not the result of a mistake, fraud, or confusion. While waiting for proper validation, I ask that you pause all collection activity and reporting related to this account, as allowed by law.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute an account that is currently being reported on my credit report. The account in question shows a balance that has already been paid in full and the account is closed. Because the account has been satisfied and no balance is owed, I am requesting that this account be removed from my credit report immediately. The continued reporting of this account is inaccurate and negatively affecting my credit profile. Please investigate this matter and update my credit report accordingly. If you are unable to verify the accuracy of this account, it must be deleted under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I have attached any supporting documentation showing that the account has been paid in full. Please send me written confirmation once the investigation has been completed.
