    This account appeared on my credit report around May 21, 2025(opened 1/23/2025) . No letter from them just popped up on my credit report. I contacted DRS on 6/5/2025 and requested a copy of the original paperwork. I was told it would be sent via email. After 2 weeks I contacted DRS again with another request for the original paperwork. I was told the paperwork was mailed out on 6/9/2025. As of today July 14, 2025 , I havent received anything mailed or emailed. I want this account removed from each credit bureau.

    Debt Recovery Solutions (DRS-NY) has reported a debt from QuickCredit to the credit bureaus without providing me proof of validation and stating an incorrect date. This debt was reported to all 3 credit bureaus in March 2025. *** has listed this collection as if i signed with them in March of this year, when that is not the case, and anything involving QuickCredit occurred several years prior. I have no contract with ***, and I have never received anything from them. I have disputed through credit bureaus on multiple occasions and was notified that the company verified the debt without ever providing me verification. Under FDCPA 809, a debt collector must provide a copy of the original signed contract, an itemized statement, and proof that they legally own or were assigned the debt. I am demanding that *** immediately provide full documentation, including the original contracts, all itemized charges, and proof of ownership related to the referenced account number. If they cannot provide this, they must delete from all credit bureaus. Failure to comply will result in escalation of complaint to regulatory offices.

    Hello,

     

    We are in receipt of this recent complaint. After further review, the date on the *** is correct. The date that is required by the credit bureaus is the date the collection agency received the file, which was March, 2025. Also, we see that you have only recently requested validation of this debt at the beginning of May. We are still awaiting these documents from our client.

     

    Please contact our office at ************ to discuss further.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

    I still have not received any documents of validation from this company and requested the validation when I was made aware of this collection, which was not until it appeared on my credit report. I have never received a letter of contact from them. Quite frankly, stating that they are reporting the date they started collection is still seen as false to me. I have had no correspondence with this company until now and from what I have in my records the amount is off. I request the full and legitimate documentation.
