Company: Advanced Resolution Services Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have received my credit report which suggests that I may have owed you something in the past or present. However, there is no evidence to support your claim, so I request that you dismiss all claims and remove any harmful reports against me. Specifically, I request that you remove any current reported items that are potentially lacking mandatory physical document evidence to verify the truth and accuracy of the claim, as well as any evidence of compliance with the certified Metro 2 format reporting standards. 
I would like to make it clear that I am aware that you can not force me to interact with you in any way without legal authority or a written agreement between us. If you continue to harm me, it will be considered harassment or even extortion, which is a criminal offense in my state of residence. Any such behavior will compel me to take appropriate legal action. Therefore, I request that you rectify any fraudulent or deceptive practices related to my current consumer credit profile history by removing any delinquent reported items.
