Consumer Complaint: ERC removed a debt for {$680.00} on my credit report and has now resubmitted it on XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have contacted them to let them know that this debt does not belong to me. They say that they are working with XXXX to collect this debt. They sent me a verification of the debt but did not provide me any documentations such as a signature showing that this is my debt. They are ruining my credit profile and I am currently trying to buy a house. This has been beyond belief and this item is damaging my reports.

Consumer Complaint: I recently pulled my Credit Report from all three of the credit reporting agencies ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) a have noticed a collection from ERC that was placed on my report on X/XX/2017. It states that they are collecting for a XXXX account in the amount of {$1200.00}. I have never had an account with XXXX and I also have never had anything with ERC either. I have never had an account with this company I have never spoken to this company and I do not have a contract with this company. This is an incorrect debt and false debt that ERC placed on my report. I filed a compliant with the Better Business Bureau and ERC sent an email to email address that was on the compliant asking me to enter personal information to see the message. I did not. They also sent in the mail what looks to be an old phone bill with my personal information on it. They have yet to provide me with a signed contract with my signature. They are asking me to fill out a fraud form with XXXX. I will not do anything with this company because they have yet to provide me the documents that say i owe this debt. This account has been disputed and ERC refuses to remove from my credit reports. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681g I have the right to demand that you disclose to me all of the documents that you have recorded and retained in your file at the time of this request concerning the accounts that you are reporting in my credit report. Under the FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i, all unverified accounts must be promptly deleted. Therefore, if you are unable to provide me with a copy of the verifiable proof that you have on file for each of the accounts listed below within 30 days of receipt of this letter then you must delete.

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX ACCOUNT # : XXXX. Company of XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX. Phone : XXXX XXXX My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. In the past I had the service with XXXX, XXXX years of contract which I finished but I still had the service out of contract, after a few months I called a XXXX agent to offer HD on my television and several times insisted with the offer while, I reiterated that I did not want any more contracts, that it was okay, I remember that I told her that my television looked perfect and I did not want the HD, she insisted, because I remember well that it was a woman and I told her that I did not want anything, She wanted contracts and she answered that it was free, that it was not a contract, to which she replied : If you want to give that service free, it 's fine, but I do not want contracts. This whole conversation was in XXXX. From there I continued with the service until I went to see the offer of XXXX, which by the way was unsurpassed by any company, included high speed Internet with television, including 3 months with free PPV channels, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. All this for a price of {$44.00} including taxes without a contract for XXXX year. After deciding on this option I called XXXX to disconnect the service and I learned that I had been awarded a contract, which I did not do at any time, nor gave such consent verbal or written, and I can only think that whoever awarded me the contract Contract made fraud to win the commission of that contract. The XXXX Costumer Service informed me that for breaking a contract that I never had to pay 200 and some dollars plus the amount of equipment, equipment that I returned and after calling to discuss the fraud told me that they had received them but that Now continue to charge you through a collection company to which XXXX, you, sold the liar and false debt. That same company has reported me to the credit bureau and in any case, although I report to XXXX to the Federal Bureau of Commerce for fraud and dishonest practices against the consumer, in the credit bureau have not been able to remove that report despite my insistence, That being said, it is my right to require directives from XXXX verbal or written evidence where you state that I gave my consent for a " HD '' contract. To send them to the growing office, or XXXX withdrew that fraud or if not, if they do not remove that fraudulent attempt to collect I will direct to file a police report against XXXX for consumer fraud or I will go in person to any other Office of the State of Florida or XXXX XXXX County to file a complaint. It is a lack of respect that they award fraudulent contracts to consumers and I demand that all indications of connection with XXXX and myself are deleted absolutely.

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX The company states they made an attempt to notify me that an account in which I have no knowledge of and have not had proper verification of validation of debt being owed. They reported on XX/XX/XXXX, ERC made several attempts to contact me. Which is not true. They also submitted a report saying they sent an initial letter notifying me of the account placement in their office. Began to express they spoke with me on XX/XX/XXXX, which again is not true.They also state On XX/XX/XXXX, ERC received a dispute forwarded to our office by the credit reporting agencies. Which IS true a dispute was submitted to all tree credit reporting agencies XX/XX/XXXX. As a result XXXX and XXXX have removed the reporting from my credit file because the company failed to provide proper validation of the ownership for this account and failed to do so in the amount of time legally allowed to validate debt. They have failed to remove the report from my XXXX account and it is adversely caused me to be declined from recent credit line request. My dispute reason was submitted as Ownership : I have no knowledge of this account. They then have stated that I need to contact the fraud department. Their debt collection tactics are to give the run around without properly validation. They have placed information my my XXXX account after the 45 day time limit which is illegal.
