Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number XXXX In accordance with FCC regulations, the specific code or provision that grants me this right is outlined in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR ). While I do not have the exact code at hand, it is my understanding that the FCC ensures consumers have access to signed copies of contracts, especially those related to telecommunications and related services. This is a breach of contract and an adverse action for exercising my rights. Consumers also have rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), a separate federal law that regulates the practices of debt collectors. Under the FDCPA, if you request validation of a debt within 30 days of receiving the initial communication from a debt collector, the collector must provide you with certain information, including a written verification of the debt, if requested. However, this does not necessarily require the collector to provide the original signed contract or " wet documents. ''
