Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days
Consumer Complaint: I co-signed for this car for an exboyfriend who made one payment and stole the car and disappeared since XX/XX/2019. I have literally no idea what happened to him or the car. I had heard from a mutual friend he said the car was repossessed. I was NEVER contacted about any debt collection or had opportunity to dispute and remove myself from liability from the car being stolen and repossessed. I have attempted to dispute and reach out telling them what happened and they did not correct the amount owed after the supposed repossession according to the credit reports. I wasnt given a fair chance to dispute and resolve this without being given any kind of notice of this debt. I do not believe this amount owed is correct either. Company did not validate anything after I disputed.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt is not yours
Consumer Complaint: Jefferson Capital has tried numerous times in the past to collect a debt that I did not owe. After years of trying to get them to remove this from my credit report and cease collection, they finally did so. However, they have tried sending collection letters to me and to an address that I have not lived at for over 20 years trying to collect money that they insist I owe them. The debt itself was already over 10 year old, but they changed the dates to say it was from 2015, which is a lie. However, per XXXX XXXX. Laws 600.5801 et seq., this debt is already past the statute of limitations even with the new date falsified by Jefferson Capital. They are breaking the law in at least two ways : 1 ) Attempting to collect a debt that is already past the statute of limitations 2 ) Illegal contact of someone, other than myself, in an attempt to collect this false dept. I was embarrassed to be contacted by this person from a former address that now thinks I do not pay my debts. Based on federal law, I am due compensation for these acts. I would like to settle out of court, if possible, but am already in contact with legal council on this matter.
