I have sent a Validation certified letter to XXXX and Midland. All i got back was a BILL saying I owe this and that. Per the FCRA they to present the Original Contract with MY Wet Signature and they did not ( also being attached ). This is why I know the Bureau 's have not validated anything because the Creditors could not validate anything to me!
