Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: CONTRACT CALLERS INC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am in receipt of your response, however, this is still unsatisfactory. You provide response to a few things in which I would like to make reference and outline as well as address your violations. 

CCI Statement : We are a third-party collection agency for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX We have conducted an investigation and here are our findings : An account was placed in our office for collections on XX/XX/2019. Since that time the consumer has disputed the account numerous times, we have validated the debt for the consumer more than once. 

Response : Who gave CCI permission to receive my information to attempt to request alleged debt without my permission as the consumer? Corresponding Violation : 15 USC Code 1681b indicates that unless requested by federal grand jury or submitted in writing by myself the consumer you do not have my permission to become the furnisher of alleged debt. 

Our Compliance Department also verified through public records that the consumer is shown at the service address during the service period Please provide proof of how your compliance department was able to validate said occupancy during outlined dates. As the consumer this request is my right. 

You indicate that you verified the debt. How? 

15 USC Code 1681a defines an investigation by performance of interview with either neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer. Please provide written response with whom you performed interviews with in order to validate debt. In closing, CCI had no written permission from the consumer to place any information on the respective consumer report. Furthermore, CCI does not have the power to validate debt. Only the original creditor ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) can validate debt which I have not done. In fact, I was manipulated using deceptive practices and defamation of character into remitting payment for an alleged debt that was never validated and CCI is authorized to report anything without consumers permission. In closing, I am am requesting that closed file is removed from my consumer report immediately, or I will be forced to exercise my rights and prosecute based on the above referenced violations.

Complaint narrative:
I disputed the account because I noticed it was on my credit report and I did not authorize this account. To dispute this account, I mailed a dispute letter, a copy of my FTC report for identity theft, a copy of my police report for fraud/impersonation/identity theft, 3 forms of personal identification ( copies of my driver 's license, my social security card, and one of my recent bank statements from the past 3 months ) along with a copy of the page of my credit report ( s ) on which the account was listed, in an envelope sent to the creditor of the account and I also put copies of the same documents in envelopes sent to all three credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion XXXX via USPS certified mail with return receipt, this was more than 60 days ago. The creditor and the credit bureaus have not mailed me a notarized contract with my signature on it within their 30-day allotted timeframe allowed by the FCRA ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ) to validate the account, and thus the account must be immediately deemed invalid, fraudulent, and not my liability, and it is hereby illegal for the credit bureaus and creditors to report this account on my credit report because the account was not validated within the required 30-day timeframe, and so the solution to my complaint is for the credit bureaus and for the creditor to immediately delete this account from my credit report. If the creditors and credit bureaus do not do this, I have the power and the evidence to sue them and win {$10000.00} due to the illegal credit reporting acts that they have committed which continue to harm my credit worthiness and access to financial wealth-building opportunities such as loans for real estate purchases. 

The account was also deleted from my XXXX and Transunion reports as well so in order to correct the inconsistencies between the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion credit reports, the account needs to be deleted from the XXXX credit report. 

The information for this account listed on my credit report is : CREDITOR XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, ACCOUNT XXXX, OPENED XX/XX/2017, BALANCE OF {$0.00} CREDITOR : XXXX XXXX, ACCOUNT XXXX, OPENED XX/XX/2017, BALANCE OF {$0.00}

This is not my Public Record and it needs to be removed immediately. Furthermore, it is hindering me from being approved for a mortgage. I have contacted TransUnion several times by certified mail and phone calls in attempts to resolve this matter. They claim that they investigated it and verified it with the US Bankruptcy Courts. I contacted the US Bankruptcy Courts myself and was told that they do not verify such information at all which makes proves TransUnion did not verify this public record. The US Bankruptcy Courts sent me out a letter as well explaining and supporting my claim. The XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy is not mine and must be removed alongside of it not being verified as my account. You must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that this is my account and the US Bankruptcy Courts says that it did not verify it but several representatives have said it is verified. This is incorrect information and TransUnion is at fault.
