General information, not legal advice.
Not legal advice. This template is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney.
OPTIONAL. Use for caller_category: debt_collector, only if the owner wants
the debt verified. Send in writing; a request sent within 30 days of the
collector's first notice requires the collector to pause collection until
it mails verification (15 U.S.C. 1692g(b)). Can be sent with or before the
cease-communication letter; the owner should ask a lawyer about order.

Re: Request for validation of debt - 15 U.S.C. 1692g
Account / reference number (if known): [ACCOUNT OR REFERENCE NUMBER]

Under 15 U.S.C. 1692g, I request validation of the debt you say I owe.
Please send me in writing:
1. The name of the original creditor and of the current creditor.
2. The amount claimed, with an itemization of interest, fees and other
   charges since the itemization date.
3. Documents showing that I owe this debt and that you are authorized
   to collect it.

This letter is not an admission that I owe the debt.
