Complaint:
My complaint and present-day issue involves Central Credit Services, a debt collection agency at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Missouri. Zip code : XXXX. The debt collection agency, Central Credit Services, references their account # XXXX. 

The allegation of a delinquent debt by Central Credit Services is faulty. Their agency violates sections of FDCPA, and one of those sections includes their requirement to provide " Proper Verification of a Debt '' which is annotated within FDCPA 1692g. 

Central Credit Services mailed a debt-collection notice to me on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, alleging a {$1600.00} debt as due, identifying the original creditor of the alleged debt as XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX is based in XXXX, Wisconsin. Their notice is in error. I do not owe the debt. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I sent a dispute letter to Central Credit Services, utilizing Priority - Return Receipt postal mail. Central Credit received my dispute letter on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 

I initiated a XXXX XXXX XXXX complaint against XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, disputing any debt that is allegedly due by me to XXXX XXXX, which is referenced in the Central Credit Services billing notice. The XXXX XXXX references my complaint with ID # XXXX, dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX provided a written answer to my complaint on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX 's answer was directed both to me and the XXXX XXXX. XXXX 's answer to me is written, in part : " .... XXXX XXXX will write off the balance and remove the account from collections. '' Further, XXXX 's written response to me added : " .... We will have the collections agency send a letter to the patient ( meaning, me ) confirming the account ( s ) are CLOSED and DELETED from the ( patient 's ) CREDIT REPORT. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I sent a XXXX dispute letter to Central Credit Services, and referenced XXXX XXXX 's answer to my complaint and assertion that no debt is due to XXXX XXXX. My XXXX correspondence to XXXX XXXX was sent by Priority Certified - Receipt postal mail. XXXX XXXX received my XXXX correspondence on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 

This entire issue originated with a Debt Buyer, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The original ( alleged ) debt buyer, XXXX, had sold XXXX alleged debts of {$810.00} each to a debt collection agency known as XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. Both of those alleged debts, referencing XXXX XXXX, were disputed by me with XXXX in timely correspondence dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 

While XXXX XXXX is vague about how these alleged Medical debts have ever surfaced, it appears that either XXXX XXXX or an affiliate Hospital erred in sending their own billings to the Veterans ' Administration -- which had later paid Medical Billings in my behalf. In any event, there is NOT DEBT DUE TO XXXX XXXX. Indeed, XXXX XXXX has now confirmed it, ( finally ), and provided written correspondence to me and the XXXX XXXX 

Central Credit Services violates law if continuing to collect this alleged debt. It is necessary that Central Credit Services provide correspondence to me, indicating their acknowledgement that this matter is closed with no debt due to the ( alleged ) original creditor -- XXXX XXXX.
