Consumer complaint received 01-10-2018 about Debt collection (I do not know) with ERC (FL).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint: Enhanced Recovery is attempting to collect on a Debt, that I never received a letter from Enhanced Recovery regarding any information about the debt that they never validated the debt and are illegally reporting. There has been no written correspondence to me regarding this Debt from Enhances Recovery. The original owner of the Debt is XXXX XXXX. Enhance Recovery does not have a contract baring my signature with XXXX XXXX XXXX. In the US law encyclopedia, American Jurisprudence, 73 am Jur 2d. Sections 90-93 ; it says that one can not subrogate onto a contract that they were not original on, did not have any interest to protect, and then claim successor in rights and interests. Thus, when an original credit sells the debt, they give up their rights to collect on the debt, but they not give these rights to the collection agency. The collection agency can not act as a substitute for the original creditor.

Consumer complaint received 07-07-2016 about Debt collection (Credit card) with ONLINE Information Services, Inc. (GA).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: I have asked for validation and verification on several occasions and these individuals have not been able to validate and verify pursuant to 15USC1692g, and 15USC1681. This DEBT COLLECTOR ONLINES COLLECTIONS, INC., or any of their constituents have not been able to give me anything that substantiates information I have asked for. So this DEBT has sufficiently been disputed. 
This DEBT COLLECTOR ONLINE COLLECTIONS, INC., has sent dunning letters saying I owe them money because they bought this from some other individual. These individuals have put entries into my personal credit reports and they have been successfully disputed but they still show up as my account. I did not give them my private non-public information so I do not appreciate this being sold to this CORPORATION according to the FDCPA accounts ca n't be sold. This is IDENTITY THEFT PURSUANT TO 16CFR603.2. They do not have the authority to go into my credit report and put in anything that is why they must stop this non-sense. I have asked these DEBT COLLECTORS to CEASE AND DESIST contacting me but they continue to do so. 
They have harmed my consumer purchasing power which is the natural person pursuant to the ( FDCPA ) Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 15USC1692c, d, e, f, g, and j respectively. I am not in COMMERCE where the Person is buying from one CORPORATION TO ANOTHER for BUSINESS with another CORPORATION. 
I have contacted this DEBT COLLECTOR on several occasions and they continue to contact me with their blatant attacks on my character, and i am feeling ashamed, embarrassed, abused and I do not sleep much because of my Credit Report being torn apart just because I want to secure things for my personal, family or household use.. I did not give my permission for this DEBT COLLECTOR XXXX., to contact me pursuant to 15USC1692c. I never asked this DEBT COLLECTOR ONLINE COLLECTIONS INC to open up any account in my name with my Social Security Number or any of that. This Debt Collector needs to Cease and Desist Collecting on something that I do not owe them. 
This Debt Collector continues to try to get me to contract with them. I did not agree to have my information shared with this DEBT COLLECTOR XXXX this is aiding and abetting with another to commit fraud on the Consumer who is a natural person is a crime. 
THIS DEBT COLLECTION AGENCY ONLINE COLLECTIONS DID SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH ALL XXXX CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES. 
Because I did not contract with this DEBT COLLECTOR PLEASE DELETE THIS ERRONEOUS, INACCURATE INFORMATION OUT OF MY CREDIT REPORT. A DEBT COLLECTOR CA N'T PUT INFORMATION IN A CREDIT REPORT UNLESS THE CONSUMER HAS CONTRACTED WITH THEM WHICH I DID NOT DO.
