Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt was paid
Consumer Complaint: A couple months back I noticed a collection on my credit report which I know was wrong. There was a XXXX collection being collected by Enhanced Recovery. I haven't had XXXX in years. On top of that, I paid them off and in full with a previous collection agency several years ago. There should be no reason why I should owe this money. In XXXX I sent dispute letters to the credit bureaus and Enhanced Recovery but I never received a response from any of these companies. I'm not asking for much. Please delete this account from my report since I already paid it years ago with a different collection agency.

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: THIS COMPANY CAN NOT AND HAS NOT produced me my original bill from the original creditor they purchased my debt from and because of that they must to cease all collection efforts and remove this account from my credit report. REMEMBER I AM REQUESTING VALIDATION, NOT VERIFICATION!! This COMPLAINT is being sent to you in response to notices sent to me from your company and more importantly, due to your erroneous reporting to the Credit Bureau { s }, the highly negative impact on my personal credit report. Please be advised that this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 { b } that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above named Title and Section. I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. Please provide me with the following : What the money you say I owe is for : Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe : Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe : Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable : Identify the original creditor : Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account : Show me the you are licensed to collect in my state : Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent or Agent of Service : At this time I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major Credit Bureaus { XXXX, XXXX or XXXX } this action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent, I will not hesitate to bring legal action against you for the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Defamation of Character If your offices are able to provide proper documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information and during such time all collection activity must cease and desist. Also, during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with my legal counsel for suit. This includes listing any information with a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated or verifying an account as accurate, when in fact there is no provided proof that it is accurate. If your company fails to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit report and a copy of such deletion { to any/all of the 3 major credit reporting bureaus : XXXX, XXXX and XXXX } request shall be sent to me immediately. I would also like to request, in writing, that no telephone contact be made by your company to my home or my place of employment. If your offices attempt telephone communication with me, including but not limited to computer generated calls and calls or correspondence sent to or with any third parties, it will be considered harassment and I will have no choice but to file suit. All future communications with me MUST be done in writing and sent to the address noted in this letter by USPS. It would be advisable that you assure your records are in order before I am forced to take legal action against your company and your client. This is an attempt to correct your records, any information obtained shall be used for that purpose. A response with a bill is NOT evidence of proof that the debt is mine. Anyone can open an account under my name for which a bill is produced, but that doesn't mean it was actually me or that the debt is actually mine. I need real evidence. This evidence consists of a contract from the original creditor or some agreement bearing MY written signature agreeing to pay the debt. In the absence of this evidence I ask you to please remove this account from my credit report.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt is not yours
Consumer Complaint: I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report and I still found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus. 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.

Consumer Complaint: My balance was paid to {$0.00}. I contacted each individual credit bureau ( XXXX XXXX, and XXXX ) about removing derogatory remarks under the comment section in my derogatory report. I was told I could only file a dispute with the credit bureau, or I could contact the creditor individually. So I contacted the creditor and explained that I would like these remarks removed in which they told me to contact the credit bureaus and they could not help me. The issue I'm having is that they keep sending me back and forth and refused to help me. I'm trying to get an approval for a mortgage loan. I've explained to both creditors and bureaus that I can not obtain a mortgage loan of any kind ( FHA/Convensional/jumbo/ USDA/VA ) because of these derogatory remarks or with any reports in dispute. I was also denied twice by two separate lenders because of having a dispute open. So I closed the dispute over 45 days ago and my credit report is showing they are still in dispute. I'd like for this creditor to either delete the report OR delete the negative remarks in the comments section and also update it as closed.

Consumer Complaint: I was made aware of a collection on my report when I was applying for a loan. The collection Enhanced Recovery is reporting I quickly went ahead to request a validation from them and they sent me copies of the statements ( which I attached ). Statements don't show me how they came to the amount on the collection. This also in no way shows that this debt is valid and is even mine.
