Company: Continental Credit Control (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX I had an XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was billed {$360.00}. Due to an issue with my insurance company I had to wait on my " in network '' out of pocket vs my " out of network '' out of pocket to get sorted before I could be sure that the billed amount was accurate. Unfortunately it took a long time to sort out and required me escalating the issue with my insurance company. 
Long story short, I did not get a full answer until XX/XX/XXXX ( ish ) of XXXX, I then paid XXXX XXXX right away, and in full for the {$360.00} that was due. 
At the same time I was contacted by Continental Credit Control regarding this payment. I explained it was paid in full and to not contact me again. 
They called me repeatedly and send my a letter this past spring. 
I just received another letter ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ) stating I still owe the money AND interest ( 10 % ), now saying I owe {$380.00}! 

I called Continental Credit Control and left a message with my account #, my phone #, etc for the case manager explaining ( yet again ) this was paid months ago and to stop contacting me! I said I would be filing a complaint with CFPB as well. 
Their # is XXXX ext XXXX ( XXXX XXXX is the case manager ), I am happy to provide the case # if needed as well. 

I'd very much like them to stop, and I am also afraid that this will effect my credit too! 
Please assist. 
Thank you!

Hi, I ask the help of CFPB with the above creditor. XXXX  and Equifax have stated that this account is accurate, yet both bureaus have not provided me anything. I have even sent a letter for VALIDATION First letter was sent out on XX/XX/2019 Second attempt has been sent at the beginning of XXXX, both letters I have sent and all I receive from the company are statement trying to collect a debt ( not mine ) these statements do not show anything and are not documents accepted as validation, so how is it that Equifax and XXXX are validating this account. I believe the bureaus are NOT validating anything and not properly investigating. XXXX and Equifax have closed my dispute and will no longer investigate ; therefore, I ask the help of cfpb to oversee what is going on. I request XXXX XXXX to remove both accounts from each credit files at once. Since they have failed to provide me with requested information. The FCRA requires you to verify the validity of the item within 30 days. I been disputing these accounts since XXXX150 days later, way pass 30 days. Enclose are copies of validation letters sent to creditor and bureau, receipt of certified mail and return receipt as well, creditor constant statement to pay a debt not belonging to me. 
************************************************************************************************** To who it may concern, I am writing to dispute the account referenced above. I have disputed this account information as inaccurate with you, and you have come back to me and stated you were able to verify this debt. How is this possible? Under the laws of the FDCPA, I have contacted the collection agency myself and have been unable to get them to verify that this is indeed my debt. I enclose copies of my requests to the collection agency, asking them to validate my debts, and the receipts showing that I sent these letters certified signature request. This debt is not mine and I was given no evidence of my obligation to pay this debt to this collection agency. The FCRA requires you to verify the validity of the item within 30 days. If the validity can not be verified, you are obligated by law to remove the item. There is a clear case of unverified debt here, and I urge you to remove this item before I am forced to take legal action. If you can not verify the item pursuant to the FCRA, and you continue to list the disputed item on my credit report I will find it necessary to sue you for actual damages and declaratory relief under the FCRA. According to this regulation, I may sue you in any qualified state or federal court, including small claims court in my area. While I prefer not to litigate, I will use the courts as needed to enforce my rights under the FCRA.I look forward to an uneventful resolution of this matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Recently, I have submitted documents to Transunion in reference to a XXXX XXXX fraudulently opened and Tranunion deleted the account as it was fraudulent. However now, that same account with a different account number has started reporting. This is not my account and I am not sure how to keep this from occurring over and over again. The fraudulent account is XXXX XXXX # XXXX. There was also some type of XXXX account that was just added that is fraudulent as I have never had this account eitjer. The account number is # XXXX.
