Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt was paid
Consumer Complaint: Enhanced Recovery Company has not responded to my letter of validation with the required 30 days so they have not validated the debt in accordance with the guildlines of the FCRA. I have sent them a XXXX letter notifying them that I have not heard from them and request they remove the tag lines from all XXXX CRA 's immediately but have yet to see any results. I have check on the XXXX website and seems that I am not the only XXXX that has had to resort to contacting CFPB concerning this company 's reporting practices and the only way to get resolution to this matter is by contacting CFPB for assistance. They also have not verified with the CRA 's either as my credit reports all still state consumer disputes claim. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Subissue: Debt is not mine
Consumer Complaint: I am in distraught due to a collection debt XXXX XXXX XXXX had reported to the collection agency. This debt is now significantly damaging my credit score. I do not owe this amount nor the account belong to me. I recently started receiving mailing statements from this enhanced recovery company to collect that debt. I am outraged. I complained to the XXXX and also attempted twice to dispute these actions for the debt owed to the credit agencies. A lady by XXXX XXXX from the XXXX headquarters had harassed me with phone call and responded with a letter in regards to my complaint with the XXXX. She has a record of a XXXX XXXX and not myself. This is really embarrassing and completely inaccurate. I even attempted to reach out this person and see if there was a way to resolve this debt however I shouldnt have to because it does n't belong to me. Please help me with these inaccuracies and unlawful approaches this company has directed towards me.

Consumer Complaint: I had past experience with calls re the debt of someone who lived at my address some 20 years ago and another with the same name except the middle initial and it took and FTC complaint to stop them. I received calls in XXXX 2015 from Enhanced Recovery re Debt Collection. One call referred to a letter which I assume was a validation letter sent to whomever owes whatever they are trying to collect. I wrote them a detailed letter on XXXX XXXX, 2015 ( cert. return rcpt ) telling them : 1. contact the person you wrote to, its not me. 2. There is no reason for a debt collector to be contacting me. 3. cease and desist. 4. Further I am XXXX and do n't do business over the phone. 5. I have a health condition that XXXX ( XXXX and XXXX XXXX ). 6. their contacts did not appear to comply with the FPDCA 7. I looked forward to never hearing from them again. I thought it worked until Fri XXXX when I got the following msg on my answering machine : " this is a debt collection call from Enhanced Recovery please call XXXX ref XXXX. '' no identification as to the caller or what the debt is about ( not that I care ). All I want them to do is leave me alone. I sent a letter today reiterating the comments in the XXXX XXXX letter and telling them I would file a complaint. I will not call them back based on my past experience with another highly unethical collector and my XXXX. I know of no reason they should be calling me. I have not cosigned for anyone nor acted as executor of any estate. This company has not been abusive and until yesterday I thought the matter resolved. I will grant that my past horrible experience affects how I view this. I do believe that companies should be prohibited from contacting anyone just because they have a similar name or without at least stating we are contacting you in regard to a debt owed to XXXX by XXXX. I would like to think that this latest call is a result of a failure to communicate that no one should be calling. a debt owed to

Consumer Complaint: I recieved a fake collection letter from Enhanced Recovery Company LLC, asking me to pay an amount I do not owe, for an XXXX XXXX XXXX phone account. I have an active XXXX account and am in excellent financial standing with them. The letter has the following logos on it, clearly pulled from internet image searches ; XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. It appears to be an attempt to gather more private information, such as phone number and banking information so that a person could be harassed by this company until they pay, then have money stolen right out of their own bank accounts. Please do not contact these people or give them any information about yourself.

Consumer Complaint: I received many calls from a debt collecter to the point where I had to change my phone number. This is a debt that is from 6+ years ago which I do n't have proof that I paid but in fact did pay. They have gone ahead and reported it in my credit reports. I tried calling XXXX last time in an effort to solve this issue and was threatned that if I did not pay they would contact my XXXX and contact my employer ( which they repeatedly called and that 's how we found out it was a false collection agency ).
