On XX/XX/22 I did a routine check of my credit, and there was a collection added to my file. I contacted the Credit Agencies and disputed, I filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and now I'm following up with The Consumer Finanical Protection Bureau.

This company never tried to verify that the debt was mine. There is incomplete information to verify the account. They haven't shown me a document with my signature proving that this debt is mine. They haven't verified that they are licensed to collect debt in the state of IL.

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am hereby requesting that you confirm the fact that I owe this debt as required by any applicable state and federal laws. Please contact the creditor to obtain verification. 
In addition, under the provisions of state and federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and related consumer statutes, I am hereby instructing you to cease collection of the debt while efforts are made to obtain verification. Until you resolve this error with the creditor, you should neither contact me nor anyone else except the creditor about this collection. 
Furthermore, any reporting of this matter to credit reporting agencies is premature. Until you have investigated my dispute, you should not relay negative information to a credit reporting agency. If negative information has already been reported, you must notify the agency to remove said report until the investigative process is over so that my credit report remains accurate, or at the very least, my credit report should be updated to reflect my dispute. 
Your next contact with me should be to either notice that the creditor has failed to provide verification of the debt and that the matter has been closed or that you believe that this debt is valid and are providing proof of my responsibility. If the former, please confirm that I am not being held responsible for the debt in writing and also that if the account has already been noted on my credit report, that you will contact the bureau ( s ) in question to have the account removed. If the latter, I expect that you will provide me with an explanation as to why you have decided not to remove this account from collections and a copy of all documents relevant to the debt such as the application, bills, records of communications and payments, and any other data that indicates my responsibility. 
I am instructing you not to contact any third parties such as my employer, neighbors, friends or family members. In addition, you may not contact me by phone at work or at my home about this collection activity. All future correspondence should be sent to me in writing.

Please acknowledge that you have received this notice within 10 days.

Also keep in my that XXXX and others also continue to say that you verified the debt. Like how if I have no contact with you.
