ABC Collections LLC
Re: Account ending 1234 / Claimed balance $2,418.76
Date received: [Insert date received]

To whom it may concern:

I dispute the above-referenced debt. If this request is sent within the validation period, I request verification of the debt and the name and address of the original creditor under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692g, and Regulation F, including 12 C.F.R. §§ 1006.34 and 1006.38.

Please provide:

1. The name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor.
2. The itemization date and itemization of the amount claimed, including principal, interest, fees, payments, and credits.
3. A copy of any judgment, if you contend this debt has been reduced to judgment.
4. Documents you contend show the agreement, account, or obligation, including any wet-ink signed agreement, electronic signature record, application, cardmember agreement, retail installment contract, or terms and conditions relied upon.
5. Documents showing your authority to collect, including any assignment, bill of sale, account schedule, placement agreement, or other record connecting the alleged account to your company.
6. A complete payment and charge-off history sufficient to explain the amount claimed.

Because I am disputing this debt in writing, please cease collection of the disputed debt until verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment is sent as required by 15 U.S.C. § 1692g(b) and 12 C.F.R. § 1006.38(d)(2), if those provisions apply.

This letter is for dispute, verification, and documentation purposes. It is not an admission of liability. I reserve all rights and defenses.

Sincerely,
Sample Consumer

Attorney-review note: The validation period generally runs 30 days after the consumer receives or is assumed to receive validation information. A collector generally must provide validation information in the initial communication or within five days after it, unless an exception applies. The law does not always require every listed document in every case, so the request should be tailored to the facts, timing, and applicable law before sending.
