Other (phone, health club, etc.) Disclosure verification of debt Not given enough info to verify debt Texas

- party debt collector has reported to my credit a debt and I have repeatedly sent them letters advising them to cease and desist this collection activity as I do not deal with collection agencies. I advised them that if they were going to continue to report or try to collect this debt that I required they send me a copy of the Surety bond that they had to have purchased and filed with the secretary of state in order to legally report this debt and the date of the bond would have to correspond with the date that this agency began its collection activity. Per the law below that is my right. According to the Texas Consumer Law and Texas Debt Collection Act, Subchapter B ; Section 392.101 ; a third-party debt collector or credit bureau may not engage in debt collection unless the third-party debt collector or credit bureau has obtained a surety bond issued by a surety company authorized to do business in the state of Texas. A copy of the bond must be filed with the secretary of state. The bond must be in favor of any person who is damaged by a violation of the


comply with Texas State Law. Since it is my policy to neither recognize nor deal with collection agencies, I intend to settle this account with the original creditor. After all of my attempts to get this collection agency to send me this info or delete this item from my credit, they have ignored. I even sent my last letter certified, signature return receipt. I am a licensed mortgage loan originator and now my license is being threatened because of this reporting. I do not owe this company. I have never entered into a contract with them. They purchase my debt as a third party from an original creditor that no longer is collecting or reporting this debt. please help me get them to delete this erroneous information from my credit report before I lose my license.
