Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt is not mine
Consumer Complaint: The debt in question is invalid as the equipment that they claim they are charging for WAS returned. When I filed a dispute with the credit reporting bureaus this was removed from my account. Per the dispute it was marked that the items were returned and the account balance owed was {$0.00}. The collection agency responded by sending me a fraud packet in the mail ( which I did NOT fill out since this was NOT fraud ) and putting fraud alerts on my credit accounts with the bureaus without my authorization which has caused me numerous headaches trying to get them removed and causing me headaches with banking and other financial matters.

Consumer Complaint: I have requested validation from Enhanced Recovery Company and the letter was delivered XXXX XXXX, 2015. I have not heard from the companies nor have they bothered to validate or remove the invalid debt from my credit report. This is now damaging my credit making it harder to secure a mortgage. This is criminal behavior at best and without proving that I owe a debt after requesting evidence, how are they allowed to continue to damage my credit and good name without punishment?
