Sub-product: Medical
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
I am in receipt of my credit report dated in XX/XX/2017. Since obtaining my credit profile I came across this account that does not belong to me. I sent United Collections certified letters and have not received a response from them regarding inaccurate marks on my credit report. I am for certain that I do not owe your company any money. For starters, I have never done business with you. In fact, I had never heard of your company until having received my credit profile. What I find strange is your attempt to settle the debt with me when I do not owe you any money in the first place! Please see this as me disputing once againthis alleged debt with your company as well as requesting debt *VALIDATION*. You have more than enough time for you to send me and CFPB legal supporting documents bearing that I 've done some type of business with you, *HENCE OWING YOU MONEY*. This is not my debt. Since this " UNKNOWN '' debt appears to have been sold to a collection agency anyway. The contract should be CANCELLED!

Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
A short sale was negotiated between my lawyer and XXXX XXXX servicing center for the following property : XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX The short sale was approved and final closing occurred on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, 2019. 

I signed on the XXXX at the Title Company office and the buyer signed the following day. 

The total amount owed on the property was approximately {$110000.00} and a sale was negotiated for approximately {$85000.00} The Title Company confirmed that the negotiated amount was sent. 

A property search clearly shows that the buyer is the owner. 

XXXX XXXX keeps reporting to Transunion that I owe a balance of approximately {$110000.00}. 

I have disputed this at least twice, and I get no mail with no explanation. The Transunion credit report still shows this balance. 

In fact, I have not received a single piece of mail from XXXX XXXX since the closing. 

I'm not quite sure how after over 9 months, they still consider this an open account? 

If it's open, why does the balance show {$110000.00}? 

I don't know what the XXXX credit bureau is reporting. But it's possible that is incorrect as well. 

One of the attachments shows a screen shot of XXXX County showing a new owner. 

I mailed XXXX XXXX FCRA compaint by mail and they never responded to it. ( attached )

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
Im disputing XXXX Account # XXXX. The reason for the dispute is because I requested directly from the Furnisher XXXX XXXX on the date of XX/XX/2018 for validation of debt. They failed to provide that information in the proper time frame of 30 days. Also the proper repossession paperwork has still not been produced to me. Im in the process of failing a claim with the Attorney General Office and also filing a lawsuit against XXXX XXXX if they will not comply with my request for the violation of my rights. Now the problem Im having with the CRAs are as follows. According to the FCRA RULE 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) the furnisher must Report to the CRAs items are in dispute by consumer. On my credit report XXXX didnt report this information so this is violation number one. On my credit report it reports different open dates for the same account to each CRA. This account also report different month terms between each CRA. High credit balance is different for each CRA. Last reporting date is different for each CRA. Also date of last activity different between each CRA. Last payment different as well. Furnisher rule 660.4 ( e ) says inaccurate date and payment activity and account activity is a violation. This account has to be removed by the CRA because this is beyond just a validation of debt by furnisher issue. The furnisher kept very poor records I have all supporting and necessary proof and paperwork to support my claims. If you as the CRA continues to report these information. The CRA will be willfully and knowingly reporting inaccurate information. Which is violation FCRA ACT section 1681s-2 ( a ).

Attached documentation are as follow CFPB first dispute to XXXX XXXX. 
Follow up letter to XXXX XXXX from me. 
Credit Report showing the inaccurate information.
