Consumer Complaint: I was checking my credit score today and I saw some Enhanced Recovery Company has opened a collection account on my credit report on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which caused a drop of 20 points due to a collecting account been opened on XX/XX/2019 stating I owe them XXXX dollars as a debt. First of all i dont know who that collector is nor I received any type of correspondence in writing notifying me regarding the debt. Today I called the Enhanced Recovery Company and talked to the agent XXXX XXXX. She looked up my name along with my last 4 digit social security number my area code and the city I live in she still couldnt locate me in their system. I filed a similar complain against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX when XXXX XXXX tried to collect the debt of same amount I dont owe to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and they removed the collection account. This is the second time XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is illegally destroying my credit score. I request to immediately remove this collection account from my account and restore my points.

Consumer Complaint: Dear CFPB, I owed XXXX XXXX XXXX for a phone bill for wireless service in the amount of {$310.00} and due to nonpayment my account was suspended on XX/XX/XXXX. I wasn't able to access any service from XXXX XXXX XXXX after my account was suspended including the internet, so it was hard to pay my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX bill. Although my service was shut off, I was sent another bill for another service period from XXXX XXXX XXXX saying I owe {$410.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I contact AT & T to dispute the amount, however I was later sent to collections. I eventually paid the collections agency ERC ( Enhanced Recovery Company ) over {$700.00} for the balance of the closed account. ERC sent the negative result to my credit report. It is ( XXXX ) still impacted negatively today ( XX/XX/XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX and on XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX XXXX XXXX and ERC both and they say there is nothing they can do to fix the problem that they caused resulting in a negative report on my credit history, significantly lowering my credit score. I've attached the documents showing : 1. The service suspended ( email ) 2. The extra charge after the service was suspended ( email ) 3. The account being sent to collections ( email ) 4. The total balance after the account was closed ( email ) Thanks you

Consumer Complaint: Enhanced Recovery inserted a derogatory entry on my credit report without providing a dunning letter or any correspondence on the alleged debt that would have informed me that they were attempting to collect on the alleged debt. To that end, when I retrieved a copy of my credit report on XX/XX/2019, I noticed this inaccuracy and immediately sent a letter to Enhanced Recovery. I specifically requested that they provide : An agreement that states your authority to collect on this alleged debt ; Agreement with signature of the alleged debtor wherein he/she agreed to pay the creditor Alleged account number Date this alleged debt became payable Original delinquency date Verification that this debt was assigned or sold to collector Complete accounting of alleged debt Name and address of the bonding agent for collection agency in case legal action becomes necessary. To date, I have yet to receive any correspondence from them. My certified receipts reflect that they received my dispute. They have not provided any documents that bear my signature nor have they provided the original delinquency date nor a complete accounting of the alleged debt. The first violation is that ERC inserted this unverifiable, inaccurate entry on my report without providing me the any time to dispute the validity of their alleged debt and second, they did not cease reporting of this entry with the credit bureaus after they were in receipt of my dispute. These are direct and blatant FDCPA violations. ERC must immediately delete this erroneous entry from all of my credit reports. If they indeed are alleging that I owe them for a XXXX XXXX account, why then did they not provide the original terms of agreement as well as any other updated conditions and terms of agreement? Why did they not provide a copy of the ledger to reflect any payments to them? Why did they not provide copies of correspondence they have sent? Why did they not provide any documentation to substantiate the alleged {$660.00}? This number is arbitrary and lacks veracity. Enhanced Recovery is refusing to respond to my request, yet they continue to report this inaccurate, unverifiable entry. Delete this entry immediately and provide me a copy of the correspondence sent to the bureaus to direct them to remove this erroneous entry.

Consumer Complaint: I checked my credit report and saw an erroneous debt with this company. I do not believe I owe this debt so I disputed it and the results were that it was verified as accurate. They are allegedly reporting 100 % accurate data. Since they have verified inaccurate and erroneous information, they have violated my consumer rights under 15 USC 1681 FCRA and 1692 FDCPA.
