Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: CONGRESS COLLECTION CORP
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Dear Attorney General, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning matter involving a violation of my consumer rights as stipulated under the United States Code ( USC ) consumer laws. I believe that a debt collection company has unjustly reported a negative item on my credit report, and I am seeking your assistance to address this situation. 

The violation in question pertains to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), as well as the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), both of which are integral components of the USC consumer laws designed to protect consumers from unfair and deceptive practices in the realm of debt collection and credit reporting. 

Under the FDCPA ( 15 USC 1692 ), debt collection agencies are prohibited from engaging in practices that are deemed abusive, unfair, or deceptive. This includes, but is not limited to, reporting inaccurate or incomplete information to credit reporting agencies, which can negatively impact a consumer 's creditworthiness and financial well-being. 

Furthermore, the FCRA ( 15 USC 1681 ) establishes guidelines for the accurate reporting of consumer information to credit reporting agencies. It ensures that consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information and that credit reporting agencies must investigate such disputes within a reasonable timeframe. 

Regrettably, I have recently discovered that a debt collection company has reported a negative item on my credit report related to a debt that I believe is either inaccurate or not in accordance with the aforementioned laws. I have taken the necessary steps to dispute this inaccurate information with both the credit reporting agency and the debt collection company itself. However, despite my efforts, the negative item remains on my credit report, casting a shadow over my creditworthiness and financial reputation. 

I am seeking your intervention and assistance in rectifying this situation. I believe that the actions of the debt collection company are in violation of my consumer rights under the FDCPA and the FCRA. I kindly request that your office investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that my consumer rights are upheld and that any inaccuracies on my credit report are corrected in a timely manner. 

I am willing to provide any necessary documentation and evidence to support my case. Your support and involvement in this matter would not only help rectify the situation in my personal case but also contribute to upholding the principles of consumer protection and fairness enshrined in the USC consumer laws. To be clear, I was never informed of owing this debt. I would like for this collection to be removed from my credit report expodiosuly.
