    This company reported an erroneous collection on my credit report, dropping my near perfect credit score down 80 points. I literally have zero idea whom this company is, nor do I have any accounts in collection. In fact, I have a perfect payment history with responsible credit usage and all of my accounts are current and in good standing. I truly believe this company is fraudulent, and want them to remove any negative items from my credit report immediately.

    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:

    No one has provided me proof that this debt belongs to me. I can say you owe me but without proof how could that be. I have asked them to provide me the info,  I'm asking BBB to help me get that info or remove it from my report as there is no proof I owe this debt. I have done everything everyone has asked of me. I'm still getting the run around. Did they send proof that I owe this debt? If so can I receive a copy. Here say is not proof. Please help.me resolve this situation.

    I am writing to file a complaint regarding the validation of a debt on my consumer credit report. I've received several calls which I've requested several times to be removed from the call list, ************ calls and requests information about me without even verifying who they are or what they are calling about. Despite multiple attempts to seek proof of validation, your company has failed to provide any evidence regarding a debt that does not belong to me. Furthermore, you have furnished this alleged debt on my consumer report and failed to validate the claim pursuant to Sec. 809(b) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. As a consumer, I have a right to privacy and protection from inaccurate reporting on my credit report. Your company's actions have not only violated my right to privacy but also the permissible purpose of providing accurate information to consumer reporting agencies. According to 609(a)(1)(A), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit report. I demand that this item be removed from my credit report immediately as it is furnishing inaccurate and incorrect information to the consumer reporting agencies. The reporting of such inaccurate information has caused severe damage to my character, my reputation, my general mode of living, and my ability to obtain credit for personal and house purposes. Your inaccurate reporting has also damaged my livelihood. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies, furnishers have a duty to provide accurate information. A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

    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:

    [Your Answer Here]

    ***************************** **** In response to notices sent to me from your company and more importantly, due to your numerous reporting to the ************* (s), the highly negative impact on my personal credit report. Please be advised that this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 (b) that your claim is disputed and validation is requested.

    This is NOT a request for "verification" or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above named Title and Section. I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you.

    Please provide me with the following:
    * What the money you say I owe you is for:
    * Explain and show me how you caculated what you say I owe:
    * Provide me with copies of papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe:
    * Provide a verification or copy of any judgement if applicable:
    * Identify the original creditor:
    * Provide the Statues of Limitations has not expired on this account:
    * Show me that you are licensed  to collect in my state:
    * Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent or Agent of Service:

    At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major *************'s (Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion) this action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative **** is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent, I will not hesitate to bring legal action against you for the following:

    * Violation of the Fair Credit Report Act
    * Violation of the ********* Collection Practices Act
    * Defamation of Character
    If your offices can provide proper documenation as requested in the following Declaration, I will require at least 30days to investigate this information and during such time all collection activity must cease and desist.

    Also, during this validation period, if any action taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with my legal counsel for suit. This includes listing any information with a credit reporting repository that be inaccurate or invalidated or verifying an account as accurate, when in fact there is no proof that it is accurate.

    If your company fails to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit report and a copy of such deletion (to any/all of the 3 major Credit Reporting Bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) request shall be sent to me immediately.

    I would also like to request that no telephone contact be made by your company to my home or my place of employment. If your offices attempt telephone communication with me, including but not limited to computer generated calls and calls or correspondence sent to or with any third parties, it will be considered harassment and I will have no choice but to file suit. All future communications with me MUST be sent to my email: **************************

    It would be advisable that you assure your records are in order before I am forced to take legal action against your company and your client. This is an attempt to correct your records, any information obtained shall be used for that purpose.

     

     

     

    In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.


    Sincerely,
