Best Answer

so you mean: No contract signed? sorry to tell you this, but you cant do anything, unless there is a contract signed. Otherwise people could just walk up to someone and claim that they owe him money or something....

If this person is a friend, just talk to him. IF that person is a friend, he will repay the debt. if its not a friend.... good luck...

Are back billing statements legal proof or validation for credit card debt in MI?

Validation must include the following: ~Proof that they own the debt legally or have been legally authorized to collect it from you. ~A complete payment history documented from your original creditor. ~A copy of the original loan contract that you signed with your creditor. So no you did not get validation of debt. Send the collection agency a letter telling them that you still dispute the debt because they still have not proved the debt is yours, and unless they can provide valid proof by means of signed contract, then they must remove the debt from your credit report and stop attempting to collect.
