Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Consumer Complaint: JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYSTEM has placed a derogatory account on my credit report. I sent for the debt to be verified as I have never done business with this company before. After I disputed the information it came back as validated but I was not provided an explanation of how the debt was validated. The company is also showing that the account is open and active and that is incorrect as well. I have never opened an account with them and it is inaccurately reporting on my credit report resulting in a lower credit profile.

Consumer Complaint: I found out that I was sued by Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC and a civil judgment had been declared by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The case number is : XXXX. Jefferson Capital Systems file number is : XXXX. The judgment was made on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received another notice from Jefferson Capital Systems from a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CO. The amount of the debt listed is {$1800.00}. This is astronomical for a credit card with a {$300.00} credit limit. Also of note is the fact that my last name when married was, " XXXX '', and it was legally changed back to my maiden name, " XXXX '' after my divorce was finalized in XXXX of XXXX. The notices I have received are addressed to " XXXX XXXX ''. This also makes me question the statute of limitations on this debt. I looked up the case number above and discovered that the case was closed years ago. I am questioning the legality of continued attempts to collect on this debt and potential violations of the laws regarding consumer debt collection practices. I am also XXXX and my only source of income is XXXX and I have not worked since XXXX of XXXX. I would appreciate your help in this matter as Jefferson Capital Systems has a long history of fraudulent debt collection practices. Thanks in advance for your help in this matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: I have never actually recieved a notification of debt let alone actual proof that the debt is real. I don't want to legitimize a debt that doesn't exist. This is not the first time I have been dinged on my credit by a past debt to XXXX. My bill to XXXX was paid out by XXXX when we switched to them, the last debt collectors backed off after I disputed it because they never sent me actual documentation. That was almost 4 years ago for that company.
