Company: Collection Management Holdings, LLC
State: SC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I called the Collection Management Company today, XX/XX/XXXX at 4:20pm. Their address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. Their number is ( XXXX ) XXXX. 

They repeatedly asked me for my social security number, and I would not give it to them. They would hang up on me when I wouldn't give my social security number. Finally a person took my name and was able to see that a {$1300.00} charge was from a XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX. I've never been to a hospital in XXXX. He said he would just take my word for it and take it off my credit report and that would take 2-3 weeks. I repeatedly asked him if he could send me a confirmation that he took it off of the credit and said he couldn't do that. He said he would do an investigation and see if it was identity theft, and I asked him if he could let me know if it was identity theft and he said no. He hung up on me. 

I called again and was given the same schtick that they are doing me a favor by taking the debt off and taking my word for it, but could not prove to me that they are doing it. Then threatened me by saying they could prove that the bill was mine, but that they were doing me a favor. This is clearly a scummy, fake debt collector.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an XXXX & Equifax breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

Complaint:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX, XXXX and Experian for their failure to respond adequately to my previous dispute letters. I believe my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) have been violated, and I am seeking your assistance to address this matter. 

On XX/XX/2023, I initially submitted dispute letters to the respective credit bureaus, disputing the accuracy of certain information on my credit reports. My dispute letters included details of the inaccurate information and evidence supporting my claims. As required by law, I expected the credit bureaus to conduct a reasonable investigation into my disputes and respond within the stipulated time frame. 

Unfortunately, despite my efforts to engage with the credit bureaus and my commitment to resolving discrepancies on my credit reports, I have received little to no response from them. I have not received any meaningful communication acknowledging the disputes I raised, nor have I been provided with the results of their investigations.
