Complaint narrative:
I am very disappointed that despite my persistent efforts to dispute and rectify these issues, it appears that the inaccuracies persist, particularly the account named XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account # : XXXX ), being removed and re-added multiple times, specifically on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. 

I don't know what else you need from me to prove that this account has been charged under my name without credible proof of validation. I didn't even sign any contract agreement with this collection department. I have had no physical contact with them and was not aware of their presence until their names appeared on my credit report. 

I want to bring your attention to the following derogatory items : 1. XXXX XXXX - Account XXXX This account has been paid off, yet discrepancies exist in the reported dates of the Last Active and Last Payment. Inconsistencies like these raise questions about the accuracy of your reports. Life circumstances, such as a family member 's critical condition, can impact payments, and I urge you to consider the human aspect in these situations. Despite previous removals, the account keeps resurfacing. 

2. XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) - Account # : XXXX I have no knowledge of this account and have never entered into any contractual agreements with the collection department. Its multiple removals suggest a lack of validation and verification, yet it persists on my credit report. 

3. XXXX - Account # : XXXX This account displays discrepancies in reported dates and amounts, similar to other accounts. 

4. XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX ) - Account # : XXXX The " last active date '' is inaccurately reported, further highlighting the inconsistency in the information provided. 

5. XXXX - Account # : XXXX This has shown faulty reporting due to some mistakes in a two-payment history. They have reported it Charged off in XXXX and fully paid in XXXX, and still they continuously furnish such accounts despite its obvious error in their reports. 

The following collection accounts has failed to provide the following documents I need : 1. An Official Contract Agreement : I have not seen even one signature on the billing statement that they have provided. No sworn agreements and contracts were included ; they only provided me with a plain billing statement. How can that be considered valid proof if there is no signature on it? 

2. Proof of Licensing : Where are their furnished documents that demonstrate their status as a licensed debt collector with the legal rights to collect debts, both within and outside my state area? THERE's NONE! 

3. Transaction History and Payment Records : How can they substantiate that this billing statement is mine if the address written on it is incorrect?

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
