Consumer Complaint: 1. XX/XX/XXXX- XXXX XXXX ad promised internet service packaged with cable service with XXXX XXXX. We bit. The initial bills were from the firm with whom I contracted, XXXX XXXX, being account number ending XXXX ( See Exhibit 1 ). Later, XXXX XXXX passed the buck and the bills started from XXXX XXXX, account number ending XXXX. 2. No modem and no service from either firm for almost 2 months -- the XXXX XXXX bills did n't stop, however. I attempted to contact XXXX XXXX many times. Understand, that each contact with XXXX XXXX takes hours because, when you finally get to a real person who knows anything, they tell you that the problem is with XXXX XXXX ; and, you go through the same menus and wrong assistants again. 3. One problem turned-out to be that the XXXX XXXX modem was sent to the wrong address ( although the billings all came to the correct address ) maybe 4-5 times. As stated, the billing continued with no service. I complained to XXXX XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX in the XXXX XXXX XXXX office on XX/XX/XXXX, who promised to resolve the matter ( conversation confirmed by email from XXXX, See Exhibit 2 ). 3. That never happened but I finally got the modem. Installed it. Discovered that XXXX XXXX had not enabled internet service. That made the whole " deal '' useless. After futile attempts to get through all the menus and unqualified personnel to get the contracted-for internet service, I cancelled the whole deal. I did go through the menus again and got the prepaid mailer to return the modem ( returned via USPS, See Exhibit 3 ). Then, I had XXXX install service for the cable and internet service ; and have not had a problem since. 4. XXXX XXXX has directly dunned me directly for amounts ranging from approx. {$400.00} - {$700.00}. Then, XXXX, XXXX got the collection account ; then XXXX XXXX, then XXXX XXXX XXXX, finally Enhanced Recovery Co. ( ERC ). My standard response to XXXX XXXX and to each collection firm was tell them that the services were not earned ; and, that XXXX XXXX would get paid when a judge ordered payment ( i.e. 'sue me ' ). These were notes done in Sharpie pen on their dun notices ( see, for example, recent response : Exhibit 4 ). 5. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX made an unauthorized charge on my VISA for {$430.00} -- which was protested and credited-back after investigation by XXXX ( see Exhibit 5 ). Regardless, I kept getting dun letters from ERC. 5. I wrote ERC on XX/XX/XXXX ( see Exhibit 6 ), telling them to sue me so I could countersue. No response. 6. After another dun letter, on XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote XXXX XXXX of ERC ( see Exhibit 7 ) demanding that ERC cease communication pursuant to 15 United States Code Sec. 1692 ( c ). 7. The only response to the XXXX letter was another dun dated XX/XX/XXXX ( see Exhibit 8 ), saying in part, " Even though this account was previously disputed pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1692g [ sic ], we are required to notify you that.. .Unless you dispute the validity of the debt.. .within 30 days.. .the debt will be assumed to be valid by us. '' I am tired of doing the same protest each time. They can not be correct. The law says that they must cease communication. Kindly assist me in this matter. Thank you. XXXX XXXX NM XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: Here is some information about what is going on. Enhanced Recovery Corp has placed items on my credit report that I have no knowledge about. The collection opened XX/XX/XXXX for {$2000.00} From ERC, with the original creditor is coming up as XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have no recollection of this account. I only recently started using my credit in XX/XX/XXXX. I 've never had a cell phone, cable, satellite TV, house phone, or my own house for that matter. I do n't know how any of this is coming up. I 've tried disputing through XXXX XXXX dispute feature twice, and they keep sending it back saying the information is accurate. Also through XXXX online dispute, the same thing. Now I did check the address that they had on file and it is my childhood home, but I have n't lived there since XX/XX/XXXX. The name they had on file originally only matches up with my last name, the first name on their file was never a way my name was spelled, pronounced, or did I ever go by that name. Further more, the name was a masculine version of mine, and also the fake name was also spelled incorrectly. As far as I can tell, they have since then changed it? That name is not coming up in any file I can access online. This Collection / Derragotory mark has been affecting my life severely, I refuse to pay this collection because it is n't mine.

Consumer Complaint: ERC submitted negative information to my credit profile that has already be deleted with another creditor who provided me a letter of deletion. I advised ERC the account was a established without my permission and paid the account with the understanding they would be settled an removed. I contacted ERC a half dozen times maybe more to request a letter of deletion of the info that had not been reflected perviously. This has caused me not to be able to continue with my home purchase with one of the lenders I was going to use.

Consumer Complaint: My personal information was compromised in 2013 and there have been consistent attempts of ID theft over the past few years. It has been realized that my information was used to obtain services with this service provider. I do not know what type of services were applied for and I have tried to speak with the debt collection company but no remedy has been given. I have never had or applied for service with this company and I have no reason too. I have never authorized any person to use my personal information to acquire an account with this service provider and therefore I request full validation of this account. I require the application and identification used to open this account so that it can be brought forward as evidence in my ID Theft compliant with both the CFPB and the FTC as well as law enforcement.

Consumer Complaint: This debt is almost 3years old yet they continue to remove and replace with incorrect dates so that the debt always looks like a new collection. I attempted to pay them years ago but gave up due to there collection techniques now they use improper methods to destroy my credit. I 've had to live with this on my credit for years but it is uncalled for for them to remove it every so often so they can make it look like new debt again.
