Consumer Complaint: ERC ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) sent a debt collection notice for XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I wrote and said it was not mine and requested documentation relating to the account and debt. It was not sent. I received a fraud packet requiring I submit a police report which I can not possibly do without info on the account. I also provided proof of residency during the time the account was opened. I live in IL and the account was opened in PA. I wrote them and explained this. They won't respond and keep threatening to report this on my credit. I am a XXXX and this seems very shady and harassing. XXXX also has dubious fraud prevention measures. Finally, I froze my credit last year so not sure how this happened at all!

Subissue: Debt is not yours
Consumer Complaint: I received a letter from ERC, a debt collection agency, saying I owed {$2100.00}, a debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I responded to them saying this is not my debt. This is the same debt ( it is exactly the same amount ) XXXX contacted me about in XX/XX/2023. ERC has now sent me a six page fraud handling packet. They have asked for all sorts of personnal information including social security number, drivers license, my address etc. They have sent no evidence showing I owe XXXX XXXX XXXX anything. I am not going to send them all this info for a debt that is not mine. I have never had an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. In XXXX we filed a complaint with CFPB about the XXXX attempt to collect on this debt. We heard back from XXXX that they would not contact us again about this debt.

Consumer Complaint: The existence of a derogatory rating on my account is causing me significant concern. I am deeply worried about its potential impact on my credit. It has already resulted in the denial of a recent loan application and an increase in the interest rates on my existing credit accounts. I want to emphasize the severe financial and emotional distress that this negative rating has caused me and will continue to cause until it is resolved.
