Amerassist has been harassing me by inaccurately trying to collect debt for a bill that was cancelled by the original creditor XXXX XXXX Amerassist is threatening to damage my credit by unjustly and abusively contacting me. XXXX XXXXXXXX made my aligners incorrectly both the top and bottom aligners were for top teeth only and did not fit my top or bottom teeth as displayed in the pictures. I called XXXX XXXX immediately to address the concern. I was told that " Doctors '' were going to follow my treatment which never happened and is a form of malpractice. The aligners were never fixed this was also during the beginning of Covid 2019 and the state of New Jersey where I lived at the time declared a state of emergency and no one was to come in contact with another person other than close family/friends. The physical local office was closed. I was in constant communication with XXXX XXXX regarding the aligners issue. XXXX XXXXXXXX agreed this was their fault and sent a cancellation email as a result of not fixing my aligners and Covid-19. XXXX XXXXXXXX sent me a cancellation email that is in high resolution and difficult to forward which is deceptive practices. I had to put it in a word document form so that it is readable to anyone I forward it. Not less than a month after XXXX XXXXXXXX cancelled, Amerassist showed up on my credit report and damaged it for the following 2 years. I already sent a complaint to the CFPB for Amerassist and Amerassist did not respond because they did not have any paperwork for me at the time which they should be penalized for attempting to collect a debt improperly with no paperwork to provide. Also the amounts on the contracts have been changed as well as the dates all of this is deceptive tactics to undermine the consumer. The paperwork has been altered and Amerassist or XXXX XXXXXXXX has falsified the documents. Amerassist should be penalized for having my information in their records.
