Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX contacted me by phone and mail attempting to collect a debt I never agreed or contracted to pay. The calls were harassing aggressive and very threatening. I explained to them then I never agreed or contracted to pay on this debt. After non stop harassing calls I sent in a debt validation letter in didn't receive a response. After months of no response I sent in another debt validation letter and still have yet to receive a response. They started to report negative and defaming information on my credit report as XX/XX/2017. After reporting negatively on my consumers report, they sold the debt to another company ( AWA COLLECTIONS ) who is now reporting negative and defaming information on my account.This company is reaching out to me to collect on this same date I never agreed or contracted to pay.I have sent a debt validation letter to this company as well and they never responded to my request. Since they have never supplied me with sufficient information in order to validate this debt, I don't not feel like my account was handled with accuracy and/or integrity. Therefore, with respect, I am challenging the accuracy and integrity of this information. 
12 CFR 1022.41stateXXXX ( a ) Accuracy means that information that a furnisher provides to a consumer reporting agency about an account or other relationship with the consumer correctly : XXXX ) Reflects the terms of and liability for the account or other relationship ; ( XXXX ) Reflects the consumer 's performance and other conduct with respect to the account or other relationship ; and ( XXXX ) Identifies the appropriate consumer. 

12 CFR 1022.41 ( d ) also states Integrity means that information that a furnisher provides to a consumer reporting agency about an account or other relationship with the consumer : ( XXXX ) Is substantiated by the furnisher 's records at the time it is furnished ; ( XXXX ) Is furnished in a form and manner that is designed to minimize the likelihood that the information may be incorrectly reflected in a consumer report ; and ( XXXX ) Includes the information in the furnisher 's possession about the account or other relationship that the Bureau has : ( i ) Determined that the absence of which would likely be materially misleading in evaluating a consumer 's creditworthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living. 

Due to the number of inaccuracies with this account which I have highlighted in the image below in the attachment section I know this debt is a mistake and shows this account was not handled with accuracy or integrity. Please remove this account from my consumers report. Due to the inaccuracies of this account I have been denied loans I would have been approved for had this account been handled with accuracy and integrity. This has caused me sleepless nights, stress and really bad anxiety.

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
