Complaint:
I'm on the phone with a representative from the offshore location for CONVERGENT OUTSOURCINNG in regards to alleged debt with XXXX from XXXX? I told her that I need to see the full validation of the debt including the signed contract and she said that she doesn't have that I would need to contact XXXX How come a debt from XXXX all of the sudden is reporting in XXXX? Isn't this an obsolete and ghost debt? 

Honestly, Im confused and stressed, and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from your company " COI '' that I never have dealt with before or even the original creditor. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : XXXX. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. XXXX. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? XXXX. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? XXXX. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. XXXX. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. XXXX. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the America Bar Association and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.
