Consumer complaint received 2023-07-31 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: DRB-40, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have been contacted twice by 2 different Debt Collection agencies requesting I pay {$280.00} associated with a hot check written to " XXXX XXXX '' ( now " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. '' ) account # XXXX. This check was written against a XXXX XXXX bank using my name. I have never banked with XXXX XXXX. This imposter allegedly also used my SSN according to the Debt Collection agency, which is Diversified Recovery Bureau LLC. According to the Debt Collection agency, this imposter also used this email address " XXXX '' with their transaction -- which is not an email account I have ever owned in my name or used. Furthermore, this imposter worked at a construction company ( can't recall the name they provided ) which I have also never worked at. 

This is not my debt and I refuse to pay the debt of someone using my name and SSN. 

My understanding is this transaction took place sometime in 2014. The first time I am hearing of this matter was by being contacted by the 2 collection agencies. 

I have responded to both companies ( via phone when contacted ) confirming this is not my transaction and that I would be reporting this as fraud. I have email correspondence from the most recent discussions with Diversified Recovery to document the above, as well as attached herein.

Complaint narrative:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference,

Complaint narrative:
Please be advised this is my THIRD WRITTEN REQUEST and FINAL WARNING that I fully intend to pursue litigation in accordance with the FCRA to enforce my rights and seek relief and recover all monetary damages that I may be entitled to under Section 616 and Section 617 regarding your continued willful and negligent noncompliance. 

Despite two written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA.
