    Debt Validation
    Hi all,

    I sent a validation letter over a month ago to a law firm which said I had 30 days to respond to their debt that they stated I owed. Well, it has been over 30 days and all I have received from them was a letter stating they received my original debt validation letter, and nothing after that.

    What do I do next, send a follow up letter stating I gave them 30 days and no response, so remove it or just keep waiting.

    Am I in the clear or what?? Help

    Go ahead with the follow-up. They ackonwledged receipt of your request. Which means they acknowledge they have to respond.

    I sent you a letter on _____, which you scknolwedged receipt of on _______. That letter gave you 30 days to provide documentation validating the debt you originally contacted me about. Since you have not responded within those 30 days I am assuming that the debt is invalid and you will stop contacting me about it. I also expect any credit bureaus entries relating to it be immediately removed.
