Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Collection Management Holdings, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Recently, I discovered that Credit Management Company reported a debt on my credit profile under account number accounts number XXXX & XXXX. I do not recognize this debt, nor am I aware of any financial obligation related to this account. In addition, upon reviewing my credit report, I found a duplicate entry for this debt under a different amount, creating confusion and unfairly impacting my credit score. 

I have no prior knowledge of either debt and have not signed any agreements or contracts that would authorize such obligations. Given the duplicate reporting and the discrepancies in the amounts, I believe there may be an error or mistaken identity at play, which has resulted in these inaccurate listings on my credit profile. 

To address this, I submitted a formal dispute to Credit Management Company requesting immediate validation of the debt, including documentation of the original amount, the full account history, proof of my responsibility for the debt, and evidence of Credit Management Company legal authority to collect it. Additionally, I asked them to remove both entries from my credit profile if they could not provide proper validation. 

Despite my dispute, the entries remain on my credit report, leading to ongoing damage to my credit score and an unwarranted burden of unrecognized debt. I am seeking assistance to correct this error, prevent further collection attempts, and ensure accurate information is reported on my credit profile.

Complaint narrative:
Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts 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 creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. 

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts 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 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA. 

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ACCOUNTS? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy. 

Please DELETE the accounts, or inaccurate information, from my file immediately XXXX, XXXX CARD XXXX
