Complaint:
Negative item appeared on my XXXX report for {$350.00} from Debt Recovery Solutions. I have no knowledge of this debt. I called ( XXXX ) XXXX, the number provided by XXXX, and spoke with a heavily accented XXXX  woman. She stated this was far a loan from XXXX XXXX. I stated I did not have a loan with them. She stated I would have to file a report with the police. Kept trying to end the call. I told her I needed the loan details in writing and she stated she had already sent them on the 2nd and I needed to be patient. I recorded this consecration.

I think checked my emails and I have received multiple scammy type emails citing XXXX XXXX  as the source of a loan. The amounts differ outrageously and all threaten a lawsuit, state a warrant is pending and that my credit and job were in jeopardy. One of the emails is below. Please assist in this matter.

And this also will be notified to your employer about the case. The opportunity to take care of this voluntary is quickly coming to an end.
