Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt was result of identity theft
Consumer Complaint: I have disputed my issue with the XXXX original debtor that claims I owe this debt of {$1100.00} for a cell phone. XXXX sold the account XXXX XXXX in XXXX. Thanks to CFPB the accounts were removed from all three bureaus. Now the account has returned under XXXX XXXX XXXX a complete new name. They can not produce any recordings or my picture ID or wet signature they just keep re-selling the account from collection agency to collection agency. For the same debt I have sent my ID and SS #. Again in XXXX same account no proof of burden and brand new collection agency. If they have so much proof that the account belong to me. Why then was the account removed from all three bureaus and re-sold again. And here we are again in XXXX once again the file has re- appeared on my credit file under a new name Enchance Recovery COL This company does not even own the file and they are trying to collect from me a debt that is not owed by me.

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: I was 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.
