Got two calls from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I then got a notification from my credit report saying they placed a collection on my report. I never got a letter of dispute which is against fair debt collection practices. 
I then called XXXX XXXX XXXX and they state that I do not and have not had a balance of XXXX with them for the date of XX/XX/2015. I also checked with any other physician I saw and I do not have a bill for XXXX with the er at XXXX XXXX. They confirmed this.

The credit bureaus have ignored my attempts to have this negative account deleted from my credit report. XXXX Bank has written off the debt and sold the three accounts to debt collection companies. If theyve sold they debt, they should no longer report the debt is owed to them on my credit report and it should removed entirely as they are inaccurately reporting on my credit and misrepresenting themselves as the Owner of the debt with XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. The Credit Bureaus has continually ignored my requests to have this inaccuracy deleted and it has prevented me from being extended credit in different circumstances. I asked them to provide me with proof of charge off/1099c form for charged off debt, they did not, they sold thirds debts long ago and they are still attempting to collect on it. They debts are also reporting different across the three credit bureaus. Consequently, please have them delete these three inaccurate accounts from my report immediately as they are in violation of the FCRA and 15 USC 1692 G validation of debt. Because they dont own they debt, how are they validating it as accurate?

Company: First Associates Loan Servicing LLC (OR)

I attended  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX  through  XXXX ,  XXXX  and received my   XXXX   in  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  with a GPA of  XXXX . In talking with the recruiter, I feel I was wrongly advised to take on loans which I was not, and would not be after graduation, prepared to repay. When I was nearing graduation, I sought help with the job placement department and was told to wait until my final quarter until I could receive any help. I found the jobs I was offered to be very low in wages, nothing near the advertised salaries for graduates in my field. I was told that  XXXX  had a close relationship with employers, who had several training points that  XXXX  would train us on but upon entering the job market, I realized the technology I was taught was outdated and too broad to be considered useful in the real world.     I took out federal as well as private loans. My private loan amount, with  Peaks Private  Loans, totals {$11000.00}. I have been trying to pay off my loan for the past four years since graduation, with some forbearances in between, but my payments are never enough to catch up to the interest that accrued during my forbearances. I no longer have any forbearance left to pay and my income-based payment amounts are not sufficient to pay off any of the principal. I am drowning in debt and contacted regularly by Peaks to repay this loan which I deeply regret taking out.       The education I received was incredibly lacking and was catered for the students who were doing the bare minimum. All too often, when asking clarifying questions, the teacher would tell me they did not have the time to answer my question or that the curriculum did n't allow for such depth of knowledge.   In class problem solving was not teaching me the way the technology worked, it was a controlled environment, meant for the laziest of students to find the obvious answers. When I asked the teachers for help with problem solving, I was told to confer with my peers, who were just as unprepared as myself. Our team would tirelessly work to solve the problem, unable to learn the principle. Other students, who chronically misbehaved and underperformed, were given a passing grade for doing much less work. We all received the common denominator level of education. My education was largely the result of my own efforts, reading the text book several times over, doing independent research online on the subjects. In class learning was a very base level education on outdated technologies, and in way too many fields of study. There was not sufficient time to learn any of the topics as the curriculum was constantly moving onto the next field with the very broad " computer and electronics engineering technology '' area of study.

I sent a letter out on XX/XX/2023 to XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX. Here is my tracking number : XXXX. However the credit bureaus said they completed the investigation and everything was 100 % accurate. 

I sent another letter out on XX/XX/2023 to XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX. Here is my tracking number : XXXX. However, again the credit bureaus said they completed the investigation and everything was 100 % accurate. 

Which is incorrect. 

According to the law 15 U.S. Code 1681a - Definitions ; rules of construction. 
The term " investigative consumer report '' means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer 's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumer 's credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. 
I would like to know who did they talk to? 

How did they complete this investigation? 

I sent another letter out on XX/XX/2023 to XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX. Here is my tracking XXXX. 
I have requested the method of verification but I still haven't received a response. 

I even resent that letter out on XX/XX/2023 to XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX. Here is my tracking XXXX. 
I once again requested the bureaus provide me with the methods of verification but once again I received no response.

I have NEVER received any communication from the collection agen cy, State Collection Service, that they had a collection account open for a bill  I owed.   Instead of notifying me about the collection account, so that I could pay the bill in collections in a timely fashion, then after taking no action to contact me regarding the collection account for  FOUR  months, they reported the account to the credit bureaus Now that the collection account is shown on my credit reports, it will hurt my credit rating and will stay on my credit record for a long time.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX  listed my account as being delinquent and threatened me with foreclosure, XXXX sent me documentation stating as such. 
However I have NEVER been late on my Mortgage payments. So on XX/XX/XXXX, I called and spoke with a XXXX XXXX Account Representative named XXXX, and XXXX and I discussed my situation. XXXX admitted that XXXX XXXX  made a mistake. XXXX promised me that she would correct the issue with my Credit report as it was being negatively effected by XXXX XXXX  's INCORRECT listing of my mortgage payments. After further consideration I realized that XXXX XXXX  's inaccurate account of my mortgage account has negatively effected my credit report. So I called in again and spoke with XXXX, a supervisor on XX/XX/XXXX and she informed me that it takes approximately 10 days for my credit profile to be updated with the correct information. However, it was never updated. On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with XXXX of XXXX XXXX  and he transferred me to XXXX, employee number XXXX who promised me that he would rectify my credit stating that I have never been late which would restore my credit scores. However as of today, XX/XX/XXXX this situation has not been rectified. Due to this, my Auto Insurance has increased, my home owners has increased and my anxiety level has increased due to me having to pay more due to a mistake made by XXXX XXXX. If XXXX XXXX  would have never made the mistake, then my credit scores would have never been negatively effected. As promised by XXXX, I was to receive a follow-up letter from XXXX XXXX  stating that the discrepancy was a result of XXXX XXXX  and that any and all negative information put out by XXXX XXXX  would be corrected by XXXX XXXX  and any and all negative information created by XXXX XXXX  would be corrected ergo Mr. XXXX XXXX would not suffer from adverse information that was put into circulation by XXXX XXXX. A letter that was provided, XX/XX/XXXX was not sufficient as it did not correct the discrepancy nor did it rectify the damage that was already created by the initial discrepancy. 

Please assist me in rectifying this issue. Thank you!!!
