Mountain Run Solutions , LLC self misrepresents to me a consumer in their collection debt activities at my dwelling in North Carolina as a known authorized debt collector in the state of North Carolina and fraudulently reports to consumer reporting agencies. 

The unlawful collection of debt by U.S. Mail is prohibited by the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act. Upon information and observed actions by Mountain Run Solutions , LLC established a pattern of racketeering activity by using the U.S. Mail more than twice to collect an unlawful debt and the debt collector may be in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1341, 1343, 1961 and 1962.

Moreover, the Federal Law mandates any debt collection company attempting to collect debt within the State of North Carolina, must be bonded and licensed to do so. Failure of the Corporation to maintain active surety bond, warrants grounds for immediate ceasing of collection activities and reporting to major credit bureaus. The evidence of lacking registration in the State of North Carolina from the NMLS Consumer Access database, is attached with active debt collection activities in North Carolina. 

A third party collection agency that violates any provision of the FDCPA, NCDCPA, and North Carolina Debt Collection Act, is liable to civil and criminal penalties which may include monetary compensation to the victim. The debt collector company can not at any point engage in abuse, threats, coercion, misrepresentation, fraud, harassment, unfair means, and deception to collect debt.
