Consumer Complaint: Some years ago, I had my purse stolen. I reported it to the police department when I resided in Florida but whomever the person was still open things in my name and I did n't find out until later . At that time when I got phone calls, I advised on the issue and sent a copy of the police report to whoever called back then. I have relocated and have no clue where the report is. It appears whatever creditor it was could n't collect so they made money by selling the unauthorized debt and I was never sent anything before hand or before this was placed on my report per FCBA guidelines.

Consumer Complaint: Enhanced Recovery Co XXXX incorrectly reported the origional deliquency date from the origional account that it reported to the credit bureau. Deliquent accounts are to remain on an individuals credit report for a mere 7 years. The origional date of my delinquent account was late XXXX, however Enhanced Recovery Co XXXX has it dated for XXXX XXXX, XXXX and at one time I had two collection agencies, with Enhanced Recovery Co XXXX being one of them, open on my credit report for the same debt. This type of faulty information negatively affects my credit report. Federal law requires that collection agencies report the origional delinquency date from the origional account. This debt was incurred by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and was a result of failed contractual agreement. I signed into a contract with the company for a monthly fee in exchange for cell phone service. When my cell phone failed to get reception because of the city where I lived during that time, I called to advice them on their failure to provide the service I paid for. They adviced me a tower would be built in the next 2 years, this was in XXXXI was forced to switch companies given that I was paying without receiving service. The debt was the cancellation fee of contract breach, even though they in fact breached the contract.

Consumer Complaint: XXXX has not sent me any information regarding this debt. It was sent to Enhanced Recovery Collections with a balance that is not correct. The balance is over {$300.00} and this is not the correct balance that was left off when leaving XXXX . I noticed this debt had been placed on my credit report. I am disputing the above referenced debt. Please verify this debt as required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices ( FDCPA ) ( secti on 1692g ). Arizon a State regulations require all debt collectors to send specific written documentation verifying the debt. Please provide : Proof of my agreement to pay the original creditor A copy of the final account statement issued by the original creditor ; A breakdown of the total amount due, showing principal, interest, and other charges ; and For all other charges, the date of and the basis for each charge. I dispute this charge because I do not recognize this debt amount and I do not owe any money to this creditor referenced of termination fee. Because I am disputing this debt, you should not report it to the credit reporting agencies. If you have already reported it, please notify the credit reporting agencies that the debt is disputed and/or delete the trade line from my credit report. Reporting inf ormation that you know to be inaccurate, or failing to report information correctly, violates the FDPCA and their Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Consumer Complaint: A while back, I was thinking about switching from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX . I ordered the XXXX XXXX package but sent it back withi n 3 day s and told them why I sent it back ( I could n't set it up and XXXX would not send a technician out to set it up ). XXXX even represented that I had every option to cancel within 3 days. That 's exactly what I did. I sent them repeated notes telling them that I owe them nothing because they did n't provide any service and I canceled in time. Since then, XXXX has hired 1 debt co llection agency after another, and each time I tell the debt collector that this is a complete fraud. Yet, they persist. As of XXXX 2017, this is th e 3rd debt collection agency attempting to assist XXXX in trying to rip me off.
