    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:

    Subject: Re: Dispute of Debt - Account Number: ****************
    Dear Debt Recovery Solutions, LLC,
    Thank you for your response dated Feb 7, 2025 regarding my recent complaint about the account listed under my name with account number ****************.
    However, I must express my rejection of your current response for the following reasons:
    Insufficient Action: Simply stating that you will request documentation from your client does not address the immediate need for rectification. The disputed items remain on my credit report, continuing to harm my credit score and financial standing.
    Delay in Resolution: The response lacks a commitment to a timeline for the investigation or removal of the disputed items from my credit report. The longer this issue persists, the more damage it does to my creditworthiness.
    Lack of Assurance: There's no assurance that once you receive the documentation (if at all), you will take prompt action to review it and, if found to be inaccurate, remove the incorrect information from my credit report.
    Ongoing Impact: Every day this incorrect information remains on my credit report, it potentially affects my ability to secure loans, impacts my employment opportunities, and might increase financial costs due to higher interest rates or denied credit.
    Given these points:
    I insist on the immediate removal of the disputed account from my credit report until you can provide concrete evidence that this debt is indeed mine. If such evidence is not forthcoming, the account should be permanently removed.
    Please provide a clear timeline for when you expect to receive the documentation from your client and when I can expect a final resolution to this matter.
    Should you fail to provide the documentation or if the documentation does not prove my responsibility for this debt, I will consider further action, including but not limited to, filing complaints with consumer protection agencies and seeking legal counsel.
    I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a swift and satisfactory resolution. Please confirm receipt of this correspondence and inform me of your next steps.

    Thank you for your efforts in this matter. I have attempted to receive documentation for over 2 months from this company that has damaged my before this occurred my exceptional credit history that I pride myself on! This collection agency has caused much stress on me and damaged my credit history. As I stated to them each time that I contacted them, this was not me and this wasnt my account. Businesses like this should not be permitted to damage someones credit without being supplied documentation from the collector so that when there is an inquiry, they should be able to provide this to the consumer when asked! I appreciate your efforts here. My total satisfaction would not just be a temporary removal but a permanent one as this is not my debt or my account! That would be a total satisfaction result for me.
