Subissue: Debt is not yours
Consumer Complaint: As I have not heard back from you in over 60 days, regarding my demand for proof, since my notice of my dispute and you have not supplied the demanded proof of the alleged debt, under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, Engelhardt v Gravens ( Mo ) 281 SW 715, 719, I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact exists. In a good faith effort to resolve this matter amicably, I restate my demand for proof of the debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must terminate this collection action and correct any erroneous reports of this debt as mine. For the record, I state again that as I have no account with you, nor am I your customer, nor have I entered into a contract with you, I must ask for the following information : 1 ) Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2 ) What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3 ) What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4 ) Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in the state. 5 ) Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. You have 15 days of this notice to respond. Your failure to respond, on point, in writing, hand signed, and in a timely manner, will work as a waiver to any and all of your claims in this matter, and will entitle me to presume that you sent your le tter ( s ) in error, and that this matter is permanently closed. Your continued silence is unacceptable. Either provide the proof or correct the record to remove the invalid debt from my credit files with the three-primary credit-reporting agencies. You are currently in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Act. Failure to respond within 15 days of this letter will begin my small claims action against your company. I will be seeking {$5000.00} in damages for the following : 1 ) Defamation 2 ) Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud 3 ) Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act After obtaining the judgment against your company, I will obtain a Writ of Execution from the Sheriffs office in your county and I will begin the process of attachin g property or funds to satisfy the judgment. For the purposes of 15 USC 1692 et seq., this Notice has the same effect as a dispute to the validity of the alleged debt and a dispute to the validit y of your claims. This Notice is an attempt to correct your records, and any information received from you will be collected as evidence should any further action be necessary. This is a request for information only, and is not a statement, election, or waiver of status.

Consumer Complaint: Ive contacted ENHACED RECOVERY CO. on several occasions in an attempt to get them to VALIDATE the debt claimed. I have yet to receive any response or update of a deletion to my consumer report.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Consumer Complaint: Enhanced Recovery inserted a derogatory entry on my credit report without providing a dunning letter or any correspondence on the alleged debt that would have informed me that they were attempting to collect on the alleged debt. To that end, when I retrieved a copy of my credit report I noticed this inaccuracy and immediately sent a letter to the credit bureaus followed by Enhanced Recovery. I specifically requested that they provide : An agreement that states your authority to collect on this alleged debt ; Agreement with signature of the alleged debtor wherein he/she agreed to pay the creditor Alleged account number Date this alleged debt became payable Original delinquency date Verification that this debt was assigned or sold to collector Complete accounting of alleged debt Name and address of the bonding agent for collection agency in case legal action becomes necessary. My dispute was very specific. I challenged aspects of the FCRA and FDCPA. I sought validation and not verification. Additionally, the law provides that when I first disputed this entry with the credit bureaus and the bureaus made contact with them, the account was technically supposed to be updated to disputed at that time and not when Ifollowed up to direct dispute with them. This is a very misleading practice and a violation of my consumer rights. If the bureaus communicated in writing to me stating ERC had verified the debt, why did ERC not update the status of the entry to the bureaus as dispute. After all, ERC pays the bureaus to provide such information. They did not provide any documents that bore my signature nor did they provide the original delinquency date nor a complete accounting of the alleged debt. The first violation is that ERC inserted this unverifiable, inaccurate entry on my report without providing me the any time to dispute the validity of their alleged debt and second, they did not cease reporting of this entry with the credit bureaus after they were in receipt of my dispute. These are direct and blatant FDCPA violations. ERC must immediately delete this erroneous entry from all of my credit reports. ERC has been fully paid even after they received payment and did not prove I owed the alleged debt, they continue to report this entry on my credit report making it appear as if I still owe this debt. This is further diminishing my creditworthiness. Why did they not provide a copy of the ledger to reflect any payments to them? Why did they not provide copies of correspondence they have sent? Why did they not provide any documentation to substantiate the alleged amount? This entry lacks veracity. Delete this entry immediately and provide me a copy of the correspondence sent to the bureaus to direct them to remove this erroneous entry.

Consumer Complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am sending this request myself to address the inaccuracies on my Credit Reports. Regardless of the multiple written requests, the unverified account, ENHANCED RECOVERY CO L ( XXXX ) XXXX, is still reporting on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. They failed to comply with Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time declared by law and continued reporting of unconfirmed information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes.
