Complaint:
Texas XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX adding removed accounts back on with notice https : XXXX scaring me to sue is against the law discover XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXXUnder the FDCPA, a debt collector can not threaten to sue you to force faster payment of a debt. More often than not, when a collection agent or lawyer threatens to sue, it is to frighten you into making larger payments or establishing an impractical and financially infeasible payment schedule. 
Tax Liens Removed From Credit Reports Tax liens used to appear on your credit reports maintained by the three national credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX  and XXXX  ). Even if you paid the lien, it stayed on your reports for up to seven years, while unpaid liens remained on your reports for up to 10 years. 

In XXXX, however, all three credit bureaus implemented changes to eliminate civil judgment records ( notes that a consumer owes debt to a court because of a lawsuit result ) and half of all tax lien data. By XX/XX/XXXX, all tax liens were removed from credit reports by the bureaus. 

The updated rules are the result of a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau study that found issues with reporting such information correctly. 

" A lot of judgments and liens were linked to the wrong people, so someone may share your first and last name, maybe live in a different part of the country, and they might have a lien or judgment that might get linked to your file, '' said XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX at data firm XXXX XXXX XXXX, in XXXX XXXX. 

How Will the Tax Lien Change Affect My Credit? 
According to XXXX XXXX XXXX, only about 11 % of consumers will see a change to their credit reports as a result of this action, and scores could increase by as much as 30 points overall. 

However, the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which represents the three credit bureaus, said in a statement in XXXX that " analyses conducted by the credit reporting agencies and credit score developers XXXX and XXXX show only modest credit scoring impacts. ''

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
This debt collection agency has never called, emailed, mailed or made any attempt to reach me regarding this debt. I only discovered it due to a credit report after they had been reporting it for more than a year. Upon discovering the derogatory mark, I reached out to the company to explain that the contract they were attempting to collect on was my Father 's of the same name who passed away in XXXX of 2014. I don't even know how they got my social security number. It is troubling that they would take the time to find my social and report me to a credit reporting agency, but they won't take the time to send an email, make a call or lick a stamp and send an envelope! They say they have a signed agreement that proves I agreed to the contract and payments with XXXX and that I provided XXXX my social security number, yet they have failed after several attempts to provide this evidence. I have NEVER given XXXX  my social security number nor did I agree to any charges. My Father may have, but I did not and it is for this reason they fail after several requests to provide this evidence. If I signed this contract and provided my social security number, than the burden of proof lies with them. For this reason alone they should drop the matter and remove all derogatory marks from my credit reports. They should take a serious look at their lazy tactics as well. Call, email or mail someone you're trying to collect a debt from. Hurting their credit until they pay is more along the lines of extortion than it is an honest attempt to collect a debt, whether a legitimate debt or not. In this case, it is not.
