Complaint #1358293 submitted on 05/04/2015 relating to Encore Capital Group. Complaint relates to Debt collection Credit card - Disclosure verification of debt Not given enough info to verify debt.
Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Monday 4th May 2015.
I XXXX contacted XXXX by certified letter in XX/XX/XXXX requesting debt validation including : Name of the original creditor, including account number.
Original amount owed, including a complete payment history, starting with the original creditor.
Finally, Documentation that indicates that I agreed to pay someone this sum of money.
XXXX responded with a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX on company letterhead just stating that they are unable to determine the nature of my dispute and that they are closing the investigation. None of the information I requested was provided. I contacted XXXX as a final attempt by phone sometime around XXXX XXXX requesting once again for the following information to properly validate the debt : A complete payment history, starting with the original creditor.
Copy of the contract that states I promise to pay this back from the original creditor.
I was told by XXXX 's collector that I missed my validation period and they could therefore not provide me with the copy of the contract nor a complete payment history from when the account was with the original creditor. I then asked when did my validation period end. He said it ended 90 days after the account went into collections which he said was XX/XX/XXXX. I am confused by what he said. I am simply asking XXXX to provide me the information I requested to complete my validation.
