Subissue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt
Consumer Complaint: This debt specifically ( and others ) have been racked up by my mother used without my consent. I have paid off prior debts to prior debt collection agencies to remove the damage she caused ( almost XXXX $ ) just to find out that I have an old debt from 6 years ago that I knew nothing about till recently in my name for almost XXXX XXXX I have been living with my fiance for the last 8 years or so. I would like to have this resolved as soon as possible because i am now being garnished 25 % of my check that I should not be garnished for. I have contacted the debt collection agency responsible for the garnishment and told them that they have they purchased my account illegally ( not of my acknowledgement or willingness because I did not know that it existed ) and told them that the account was fraudulent as well because I did not open it. They said it didn't matter. They had it in their possession for years and it needed to be taken care of. They did not send me a letter stating that I was going to be taken to court. Nor the garnishment. but I received a letter of AFTER the court date was settled and I was told I neglected to show up to a court date I did not know I had. I would like this resolved and the garnishment not be taken from me but from my mother who is responsible for the fraudulent account to be opened in my name. if you can get back with me as soon as possible that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Subissue: Debt was result of identity theft
Consumer Complaint: The Debt was resolved by XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2022 file # XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Acct # XXXX, the creditor was deleted on that day. Under the guidelines it was inaccurate or wrong or fraudulent information. Presumably, the regulations promulgated under the CPRA will contain a similar provision. The VCDPA does not specify how personal information is to be deleted. But also, not RE-INSERTED creditor under another company to damage credit once it has been deleted. XXXX XXXX was in violation after deleting the account and then reassigning the account to a collection agency Jefferson Capital Systems Acct # XXXX. After knowing the account was fraud. On XX/XX/2022 XXXX also deleted XXXX XXXX acct # XXXX from credit report which I have enclosed copies of deletion from credit.

Consumer Complaint: I received correspondence on behalf of a collection agency named XXXX XXXX. According to them, I had an outstanding balance of {$1900.00} that was previously owned by XXXX. I contacted them on XX/XX/23, and the representative I spoke with informed me that the debt was tied to the phone number XXXX. I am positive that I have never been associated with said number, so I went through the trouble of filing an police report and so on. I called XXXX XXXX back on XX/XX/23, to obtain information on where to submit a copy of my police report in order to initiate a dispute. The XXXX XXXX Representative, XXXX, informed me that per their system, there was a " XXXX XXXX '' order in place, and that the debt was erroneous, and is not valid. He also shared that the debt would not be reported to the credit bureaus, and that I was no longer financially liable for the amount they were trying to previously collect. I requested a statement in writing confirming what XXXX shared, but he insisted that he was not able to do so per company policy. I wanted to bring this to the CFPB 's attention in the event XXXX XXXX attempts collecting debt from me again in the future.

Consumer Complaint: XXXX is trying to collect {$1700.00} from me and I've never had service with them. I tried two different times to get service with them and they denied me. I have reached out because I'm trying to purchase a house a d saw this was on my credit. I spoke with someone who was suppose to look into it and never returned my call. I have received letters from Jefferson Capital who is suppose to be the collection agency. When I reach out to them it's a other company who has it but Jefferson Capital is reaching out. This isn't my account and I've been reaching out to get help for almost two years with no success.

Consumer Complaint: I haven't had XXXX XXXX since XX/XX/2019. I moved to a new service provider XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). XXXX XXXX XXXX paid off the balance due at XXXX as part of their promotion, so I am unaware of any unpaid bills. I haven't received any correspondence from XXXX XXXX regarding this. I am positive that this is not my account, as the telephone number I have was ported over from XXXX, and that can't happen if the bill is not paid. This is someone else 's account, which may be using my information, and for sure, I have NOT received any bills or mail from XXXX regarding this. Further, I haven't received any correspondence from Jefferson Capital Systems, who is acting as a debt collector after purchasing the debt from XXXX. I am surprised this is on my credit report.
