Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine South Carolina

- - - -, SC -MERCHANTS CREDIT ASSOC. SC- - - - -, SC -Re : Social -To Whom It May Concern : I have attempted on multiple occasions to contact your company via - yet you have failed to respond. At this time I feel it is necessary to file this complaint and advise you of the following. Due to your company violating FCRA ( Title 15 United States Code Section 1681 ), FDCPA ( 5 U.S.C. 1692 -1692p ), and UDAPP this letter will serve as my Notice Of Intent to File Suit. Pursuant to South Carolina Code Annotated, Title 22, Ch. 3, Article 1, Sections 10-30 ; Title 22, Ch. 3, Article 3, Sections 110-320 ; Title 15, Ch. 7, Sections 10-30 ; Title 18, Ch. 7, Article 1, Section 20 ; Administrative and Procedural Rules for - Court, Rules 1-19. I will be filing suit in South Carolina - Court in the amount of $20000.00 that is to include Statutory and Actual damages incurred by myself as a result of increased APR 's as well as out right denial of credit. As we - know companies tend to wait until the suit is filed and wait


agreement for settlement is not reached between myself and your company 14 calendar days from today he will be retained and take over the case in its entirety. But he will hold no settlement authority due to the disrespect your company displayed when ignoring documentation and request for validation of this fraudulent account. Your company listed an account with - - in the amount of $1600.00 on my credit. This account was opened fraudulently and I had notified the original creditor/rental agency as soon as I had seen them listed on my credit. Apparently they must have received the Fraud Affidavit and Dispute after selling it to your company. Never the less your company without mailing any documentation attempted to collect on this debt. FDCPA requires mailed documentation within 5 business days which to this day has still not been done. Now even after mailing the request for Validation of Debt and my letter of dispute for the - time back on -/-/- I have still have not received any response or correspondence. Yet, the account is still being listed on my credit as a derogatory account thus violating FCRA and FDCPA. What I am proposing as an agreeable settlement would be your company immediately updates all - credit bureaus to remove this charge off account as well as any associated inquiries and pays me $5000.00 payment to settle any and all violations. Payment must be made to myself at the address listed above on or before -/-/-. Considering the cost of hiring representation in South Carolina plus the cost you would incur for my court cost and attorneys fees I believe that is a fair offer. Once a settlement is agreed to I would be willing to sign a Release of all claims ''. As far as contacting me in reference to this offer for resolution I am giving you permission to speak with my husband - - at - he can also be reached by email at --. If an agreement is not reached on or before -/-/- we will move forward with the legal proceedings. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, - -
