Company: National Credit Adjusters, LLC

Complaint narrative:
This account appeared on my credit report claiming to be mine, even tho it is in collections, the agency reports it as open and current every month, as if there was some sort of arrangement, which theres not. Ive never received anything from this agency, Ive never opened an account with this agency or whoever they allegedly bought the account from. Ive asked for proof or verification that this account belongs to me and theyve only provided an alleged contract with my name on it, but not my physical signature, not my identification. Ive already disputed this as identity theft. This account does not meet FCRA requirements, since this agency is falsely reporting to my credit report.
