Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I have spent the past 3 weeks contacting credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, Experian and XXXX ) about a recent collection notification on my credit report. Each collection agency has not provided adequate customer service to address the issue. In each instance, my inquiry is sent to various service agents. Eventually, my call is terminated after more than an hour on hold.

Summary of issue : The collection agencies indicate that there's an outstanding debt of {$600.00} being sought by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Further investigation on my part concludes that this is a fraudulent effort by the original inquiry company XXXX XXXX  ( a leasing company ) to force payment on a non-existent debt. The debt in question is an administrative fee imposed by the leasing company ( XXXX XXXX ). This is a retaliatory effort, since I submitted a request for leasing reimbursement. The reimbursement was to address non-compliance of a leasing agreement. I have attached my original reimbursement request to XXXX XXXX for reference. This amount remains outstanding. Since they are a business entity, I am unable to follow suit with regards to reporting. In addition, I have never been contacted by the collection agency about the outstanding debt. Neither have I been provided the opportunity to showcase evidence that this is a fraudulent effort.
