RE: Intent to file lawsuit, HIPAA Privacy Violation

Validation Letter sent to: {Creditor/Collection Agency}

Account #

To Whom It May Concern:

Please be advised I have requested “validation” {not verification} of an item reported


to you by the above original creditor/collection agency. I have received a response that
clearly violates my rights according to HIPAA.

{Creditor/Collection Agency} did NOT provide me a HIPAA release that releases my


medical information to them, therefore by providing such information they are in
VIOLATION of my HIPAA rights. I am proceeding with legal action as prescribed by
law against the above named original creditor/collection agency should this item not be
deleted within the required time allowed by law. I will seek every legal remedy available
to me and file suit against the credit bureau responsible for reporting this violation.

I urge you to take this extremely seriously as I have documented my case without
error. I encourage a response from you expeditiously.

Sincerely

Your Name

Your City, State and Zip Code
