Company: ProCollect, Inc.
State: MI
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
I am asking for the collection account from Procollect to be removed from my credit report because the creditor XXXX XXXX sent the account for collections BEFORE the due date. I paid the account within the 90 days allotted as stated by the property manager. I have an email dated on XX/XX/XXXX from the managing office stating that I have 90 days to make the payment of XXXX. I paid the account WITHIN my allotted time hence it NEVER should have been sent for collection. I have a signed receipt of payment made on XX/XX/XXXX which falls WITHIN my ninety day window. I also have a copy of the check that was given.

The XXXX XXXX is extremely uncooperative with this process and even hung up the phone on me when I provided them with this proof. The XXXX XXXX   company was extremely rude. Both avenues have been very unprofessional. I paid the balance WITHIN the 90 day window that was given therefore the account needs to be removed from my credit report.

The account was NEVER supposed to go to collections to begin with because I paid on time.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
I lost my wallet on the train and someone found it and stole my identity. I didn't know about the incident for a few months. I didn't really find out what was going on until I started receiving phone calls from XXXX XXXX  's collection agency. I spoke to the collection agency and told them I had no knowledge of the debt and went to the police dept. and filed a report. I also notified the credit bureaus and disputed the items and attached police reports. The credit bureaus placed fraud alerts but did nothing about the accounts that were opened up in my name. I called XXXX XXXX fraud dept today, spoke to a woman named XXXX and asked if they recived the police report about the fraudulent XXXX XXXX acct. that was opened in my name. The woman proceeded to tell me that XXXX XXXX  fraud investigation decided that the acct. wasn't fraudulent because I took too long to report it. She also stated that a police report means nothing because anyone could file a police report and it could be bogus. She stated that I was on the hook for the charges because they didn't believe it was fraud. The amount owed on the fraudulent acct. is around {$300.00}. The credit bureaus continue to report the charged off account and my credit score is trashed because of this.
