Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt is not yours
Consumer Complaint: Hi ERC / XXXX ; Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the America Bar Association and Professional Liability Fund for code of ethics violations.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt was result of identity theft
Consumer Complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX and I recently conducted a review of my credit report, and I discovered that your agency shows some unauthorized accounts that I find to be detrimental to my credit. 1. XXXX XXXX XXXX, Original creditor : XXXX XXXX, {$94.00} 2. XXXX XXXX XXXX, Original creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX, {$3500.00} 3. ENHANCED RECOVERY CO L, Original creditor : XXXX XXXX, {$110.00} 4. ENHANCED RECOVERY CO L, Original creditor : XXXX, {$240.00} XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, Original creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX, {$66000.00} 6. XXXX XXXX XXXX, Original creditor : XXXX XXXX MD, {$480.00} To repeat, these transactions occurred without my permission. I would like to request the suppression of the above items from my credit report, which are the result of me being a victim of identity theft. This information does not relate to transactions that I have made/accounts that I have opened. As such, it should be blocked from appearing on my credit report pursuant to section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S. Code 1681, 15 U.S. Code 1692g and 15 U.S. Code 1601. As previously stated, I did not originate these debts. Reporting is voluntary not mandatory. Not ONE law says anything has to be reported. In any situation, it is hampering my reputation and I am unable to obtain new credit. In addition, I have been getting denied for employment, having difficulty purchasing a car, and trouble getting approved for a place to live.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Consumer Complaint: XXXX has been contacted several times to investigate an error on my credit report. I contacted XXXX directly on XX/XX/XXXX and a representative stated he was opening another dispute of the company ERC representing XXXX. My complaint is the amount owed to XXXX is incorrect and I have requested the documentation from the date I came to the store showing I purchased my XXXX from the company and showing how XXXX came up with the {$900.00} amount. I disputed using XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Each time, the dispute is listed as valid, however, no documentation is provided to me to review. Therefore, the company is unable to prove the {$900.00} debt and I am requesting it is removed from my Transunion credit report.

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Consumer Complaint: Hello, I received a call notifying me they were attempting to collect a debt. I told them to not call me and to send something to me in writing. I have yet to receive anything in the mail, but have seen where they are going and reporting this to the credit on a monthly basis. This is unacceptable.

Consumer Complaint: I logged into XXXX, to find an account that I have no knowledge of and let along DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS. Under the FCRA if a consumer owes a debt, they must be notified by the company within 30 days. I was NEVER notfied of any debt. I don't even know what this debt is. This also violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. As mentioned I noticed the account XX/XX/2021 at XXXX. I immediately notified my attorney because I have never been in a situation like this. My attorney has filed a formal civil complaint against Enahced Recovery Co. L This also violates a bunch of other subsections within the FCRA, FDCPA , SCRA , 15 USC 1681, meto 2 compliance and many more.

Consumer Complaint: This account is involved in litigation for fraudulent practices according to my FCRA rights. I have not supplied proof under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, Engelhardt v. Gravens ( Mo ) 281 SW 715, 719, I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact exists. Note that the collector has to stop all collection activities until it can provide all the evidence. Under the FDCPA Section 809, Validation of debts [ 15 USC 1692g ] I have the right to verify any alleged debt on my credit report and if the alleged debt is being disputed, the debt collector shall cease.
