Re: Account 4471-88-2210 — written request for validation of debt

To Midland Credit Management: I am responding to your notice dated August 12, 2026. I dispute this debt in full and request validation under 15 U.S.C. § 1692g. Specifically, I require documentation of the amount claimed, the name and address of the original creditor, and evidence of your authority to collect on this account…

Until validation is provided, you must cease collection activity on this account. Please direct all further correspondence in writing to the address above.

The full letter — five paragraphs plus your signature block — is one page, ready to print.

A charged-off card balance can still be wrong.

Credit card accounts get sold and resold between collectors, and balances can include fees or interest added after the account was closed. Before you pay a collector on a card account, you're entitled to ask them to prove the amount and their authority to collect it.

PUSHBACK only uses what's stated on the notice you upload — it doesn't assume anything about your specific transactions or account history that isn't written on the page.
