    Harvest and Assoc's are erroneously reporting a collection on my consumer report. In addition, they are violating Regulation F that went into effect Nov of 2021 with specific details and requirements for medical debt collection. They are also attempting to collect a debt in ***** without having s surety bond in file with the Secretary of State in ***** which violates Texas Section ******* and Texas Finance Code. I demand this erroneous account be deleted from all credit bureaus.

    I recently received my credit report and saw that Harvest Associates, Inc. placed a collection account on my credit report for the amount of $1992. I've reached out several times as well as sent a message through the website without any response. I have repeatedly disputed this account and ********************** has continued to state its valid. I did not receive an initial notice for this collection. I did not receive a debt validation. I have no medical debt with anyone. I do not have an account with ********************** I am a disabled retiree on ******** with a fixed income. All I have is my credit and I'm not sure why this company would continue to treat the disabled elderly so poorly. Please delete this incorrectly reported account from my credit reports.

    Harvest has sent a validation letter to patient home address.

    This account has been validate by Hospital staff and account

    was place on 2/5/20. This is the first notice we received from 

    the patient. The client would accept a settlement of 50% for paid

    in full.
