I have requested a debt validation from this company . They could not even show they have the legal right to collect on this debt. They could not show proof of the original date of contract that was signed with original creditor. They failed to provide a complete record of payment history as well as the date of original. They have no right to try and collect anything. I would like this deleted from my credit file. It is also against hippa policy to provide any medical records to any company!Business response
