Thanks Lou, much appreciated. Peter

Make a demand under the FDCPA for a verification and validation of
the debt. Demand copies of all documents and documetation under
which they are collecting the debt, including the documents and
documentation under which they are authorized to collect the debt;
ie, their assignment agreement. Demand a statement of the account,
including all principal, interest, fees, costs, and payments. They
have 30 days to respond. I am not sure whether there is an
exclusion under the FDCPA for assignees of Sallie Mae, but let them
determine that during the thirty days.
I am not in the office, but remember the name, and think that I
objected to a claim in a bankruptcy case where they did not fully
document their claim. When I get back to the office, remind me to
look up Van Ru.
Good luck and best regards. Lou Esbin

negotiation statement?
