Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: HW Holding, Inc
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX is attempting to collect a debt related to a lease from XXXX  of XXXX XXXX, totaling {$11000.00}. I disputed this account with the XXXX XXXX and it was deleted from my credit report after XXXX XXXX failed to provide proper validation. 

On XX/XX/year>, I received a phone call from XXXX XXXX despite the fact that no new validation was issued and I did not authorize further communication. This account is not currently reporting on any credit report, and I have not received the required XXXX written notice prior to any re-insertion attempt, as required by XXXX XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( B ). 

This contact appears to be harassment and a continued attempt to collect an unvalidated, unverified debt, which I do not owe and which is not legally collectible without proper documentation. 

I am requesting that XXXX XXXX cease all collection efforts, stop any and all communication, and refrain from re-reporting this debt to any XXXX XXXX

Despite my repeated efforts to resolve the presence of fraudulent, inaccurate, and misleading information on my consumer report, these disputed items continue to appear without resolution. The ongoing inclusion of this unauthorized information has severely impacted my quality of life, creating substantial stress and anxiety while undermining my financial stability and creditworthiness.

The persistence of these fraudulent items on my credit report represents a continuing violation of my consumer protection rights and demands immediate remedial action.
