Consumer Complaint: I had an original amount owed to XXXX XXXX was XXXX. The debt went into collection with me not having any knowledge of it. The collection company took control over the debt in the middle of the worse pandemic in our life time. Meanwhile, returning to work after being furloughed for almost a year. I notice the collection on my credit report. I reach out to XXXX and paid the debt in full with the agreement that it would be deleted. The collection agency refuses to verify the debt. The collection agency refuses to verify with XXXX that the debt was paid in full. I spoke with XXXX ( operations supervisor ). He refused to acknowledge that the debt was in fact paid. Please look into my case and ensure that the collection agency are practicing fair according to the law. I am reaching out because I have done everything else to have them comply.

Consumer Complaint: I am a natural person and consumer writing this statement from my own knowledge and research of the laws that protect consumers from fraud and other deceptive practices that harm a consumers character, and reputation. I.C. SYSTEM is reporting an alleged debt and they are tarnishing my reputation and harassing me. I have never authorized this company or anyone employed with this company to do business with me, make an inquiry or view or report to my credit. I asked this company to validate this alleged debt and None of the alleged debts have been validated nor represented by the original creditor. These alleged debts are 100 % fraudulent and need to be blocked and removed. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act, I as a consumer have the right to privacy and my privacy has been breached. According to my credit report, there have been alleged debts from I.C. SYSTEM, INC without my permission; using my name and personal information by which to do so. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act section 15 USC 1692d I as a consumer have the right to not be harassed, oppressed or abused in connection to any alleged debt and the publishing of this false information has done all of such. I demand this fraudulent account be blocked and removed from my report.
