I spoke to your company before and informed you that I am in dispute with the medical service provider and that you needed to validate this debt. This is NOT a request for " verification '' or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. This is NOT a request for " verification '' or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION.. I respectfully request that your office provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you and provide a detailed, plain and simple list ( not coded ) of any and all services or a line by line itemization report of charges. If your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the three major Credit Bureau 's ( XXXX, XXXX or XXXX ), said action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. If so please delete from collection. Ive had Medicare insurance for the past 18 years. Thank You

Hi, I found a collection debt on XXXX XXXX and wanted to pay it off. I 've called the collection company twice now to ask for the bill, so I may pay the debt. The XXXX person I talked to said she will send via mail and the XXXX person I spoke to said they 'll have to figure it out and that the XXXX person should n't have told me they would send a bill. I am not sure why they are withholding the bill but I would like this off my record as soon as possible. It has been a month since my first contact with them. How do I pay this off?
