Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Credit Corp Solutions Inc.
State: RI

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter from Credit Corp Solutions re : an account they are collecting on from XXXX for {$81.00} for a transaction from XX/XX/2016. I haven't used my XXXX account in years and never made or tried to make a transaction on that date or for that amount. When I called CRedit Corp Solutions, the gentleman ; XXXX, gave me an email address that was associated with the XXXX account that was not mine and also stated that the bank account used was called XXXX XXXX, which is not my bank. The gentleman was insisted this is my account, but could not confirm my social security number, date of birth or any of my personal information that is associated with my XXXX account. Prior to calling the company, I went to my XXXX account and there is no mention of my account being owed money, there were no transactions in default or any for {$81.00}. I asked the gentleman I spoke with what was the transaction, he said he didn't know. He said all he had was an account they bought from XXXX with {$81.00} due and offered me a settlement of {$64.00}. I said no because I am pretty sure they have the wrong person. All the information they had that was correct was my address, which could be found anywhere in search engines. I started getting very suspicious as this person was avoiding some of my concerns and didn't have any answers to help me understand, this just all seemed like they were trying to contact anyone with the same name as me. He gave me an account number for this account and said if I wanted to make a payment to go online and enter my information and could make a payment or see the information they have. After I hung up, I contacted XXXX who verified my personal information and stated there were not outstanding debts on my account, nor anything from 2016 for {$81.00}. The woman at XXXX suggested I file a complaint as this may be a scam. I then tried using the website the gentleman said they have for payments. I entered the account number he gave me and it asked to confirm my date of birth or last 4 of my social security number. When I tried both, it kept saying my credentials do not match the account information. I tried contacting Credit Corp Solutions again to let them know what XXXX said and the issue with my credentials not matching the account they have and the gentleman I spoke with did not seem interested in all except to say I owe {$81.00} and asked how I would be paying, and I stated I wasn't, it was not my debt. I stated I was filing a complaint, he chuckled and said fine and hung up. The following is taken from the email that XXXX sent me after our conversation. Again, when trying to log into their website, it says my credentials do not match the account information they have.
