Within five days after a debt collector first contacts you, it must send you a written notice, called a "validation notice," that tells you (1) the amount it thinks you owe, (2) the name of the creditor, and (3) how to dispute the debt in writing.

In this letter, you should include: Your name and address. Collection agency's name and address. Acknowledgment of contact from a collection agency, including the date they contacted you. A statement saying you dispute the debt. Request for proof that the debt is valid and belongs to you.

Debt Validation Letter Example I am requesting that you provide verification of this debt. Please send the following information: The name and address of the original creditor, the account number, and the amount owed. Verification that there is a valid basis for claiming I am required to pay the current amount owed.

What Documentation Must the Creditor Provide? But what must the creditor provide by way of documentation? At a minimum, it must produce: A copy of the original written agreement between the parties, such as the loan note or credit card agreement, preferably signed by you.

Generally, you should send a debt validation request if you're contacted by a collection agency and you don't recognize the debt.
