Complaint:
On Thursday XX/XX/XXXX I received a text from my former husband that somebody had left two messages on his voicemail for me. The message stated he was from process service dispatch and was trying to deliver XXXX XXXX court ordered summons to my address. He also gave case number and phone number to contact. 
Later that same day I received a voicemail from a private phone number that stated he had made contact with the receptionist at Human Resource Dept at my place of employment. I called HR department and spoke to receptionist to see if any documents were left there for me. Receptionist told me he did not show up there in person that he had called and wanted to know the procedure for getting me to sign for documents and asked if I would be able to personally sign for them. She told him I did not work in that building and would not be available to sign. He left his contact information for me to call him. 
I then called XXXX XXXX to see if I had a court date and time. Court clerk told me I did not. 
On Friday XX/XX/XXXX I received a voicemail from a private number with same message. 
Also on Friday XX/XX/XXXX he called another department at my place of employment asking for me and left his contact information. At this point the Director at my place of employment is thinking I have a criminal record and she called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to inquire the nature if the phone calls. XXXX XXXX. tells her they are not trying to contact me. A Deputy then calls the contact information that had been left. He tells the Deputy that this is a debt collection firm and that it would be better if I called myself. 
On Monday XX/XX/XXXX I called the contact information and told man who answered phone that I was returning their phone call. He said he was transferring me to credit department and that more than likely they would be at lunch and to leave message and somebody would get back to me. Later that day a man left message on my voicemail with a different phone number to contact. 
On Tuesday XX/XX/XXXX I called the new contact phone number and spoke to man. He told me he was trying to collect a debt on an account that has been closed since XXXX. I repeatedly asked for written documentation of the debt and he wanted to fax or e-mail it to me. I told him this is the first time I had been made aware of the debt and was not comfortable giving e-mail info and want written documentation. He told me sending document by mail would take too long and that is how some people buy time and he is writing on my case that I am hiding from debt ; refusing to pay and that they would be garnishing my paycheck and my bank account and would see me in court and HUNG UP ON ME.

Complaint:
I'VE HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK OVER MY CREDIT REPORT AND FOUND A FEW DEROGATORY ACCOUNTS AND ENTRIES IDENTIFIED AS INQUIRIES THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED ON MY CREDIT FILE. THE DEROGATORY ACCOUNTS AND INQUIRIES HAS CAUSED A TREMENDOUS DROP IN MY CREDIT SCORES. IT IS NOT FAIR TO ME BECAUSE I HONESTLY DO NOT HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE ACCOUNTS AND INQUIRIES. IT HAS BECOME VERY HARD FOR ME TO ACQUIRE NEW CREDIT WITH MY CREDIT BEING IN SUCH A HORRIBLE STATE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. I AM ASKING THAT THE DEROGATORY ACCOUNTS AND INQUIRIES BE RE-INVESTIGATED SO THAT THEY CAN BE REMOVED OFF OF MY CREDIT FILE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I AM CERTAIN THAT THE DISPUTED ITEMS DO NOT BELONG TO ME AND WAS NOT AUTHORIZED BY ME.

I noticed unauthorized accounts on my consumer report. I have not signed any documents authorizing your organization to report any accounts on my consumer report therefore, your reporting of accounts on my consumer report violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I am requesting that your company blocks and remove all disputed fraudulent accounts from my consumer report pursuant to [ 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ] ( a ) Block Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency SHALL block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.
