Narrative (may be redacted).

Got a collections notice from a company saying I owe money. I sent them a letter stating that " Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Section 809 ( b ), Validating Debts:1. the amount of the debt ; 2. the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; 3. proof that you are licensed to collect debts in Connecticut ; 4. proof of the last payment made on the account. '' The company responded with a letter stating " we have notified the client of your dispute and they have verified the information on this account to be true and accurate ''. There was no proof, nothing in writing, no proof of payments. Are they allowed to show this as proof ... saying that they contacted the client and they agree that it is legit? How is that possible?
I had many problems with XXXX XXXX and my billing issue, including sending the bill to the wrong address. XXXX claimed they fixed the issue, but after 6 months I decided that I would call and complain weekly until the fixed it. They ended up waiving my bill because this issue was going on for about 9 months. The last person that I spoke to said they would waive my bill, but I told them to cancel my service instead. I think this was XXXX XXXX 's way of getting back at me for cancelling my service with them. I was told this bill would get waived. I 'm sure they have that recorded somewhere in their file.
