As a matter of fact, my letter didn't come from a collection agency. It was a law firm. And when they sent the "validation", it was a copy of the original ticket, with the original fine scratched out and a late fee tacked onto it, written ontop of the scratch out. I'm pretty sure they can't do that, legally, to collect debt.


Who sent you this "validation"? The firm in Cleveland, Ohio or the credit bureaus themselves? What additional steps did you take once you received that, if you don't mind my asking?

The firm. It never hit my credit. After the second failed attempt at validation, I send a Cease and Desist. Never heard from them again. That was just my experience. I can't say this happens across the board.

ETA: Not a single letter from them or me was certified.
