Company: Phoenix Financial Services LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I disputed a collection account posted to my XXXX credit report XX/XX/2023, by Phoenix Financial Services LLC ( Acct XXXX XXXX ). 

I received notice by mail from Phoenix Financial Services on XX/XX/2023, claiming I allegedly owed Phoenix Financial company {$1800.00}. 

XX/XX/2023, I sent certified Validation Request to Phoenix Financial Services. Phoenix Financial Services received my certified letter XX/XX/2023. I explicitly instructed Phoenix Financial that I was disputing this claim and they were not to report this account as a collection account while this dispute was pending. 

XX/XX/2023, I reviewed my credit report and found that Phoenix financial had gone ahead and reported this disputed account as a collection account to my XXXX credit report. 

XX/XX/2023, I sent second certified Notice XXXX FDCPA Violation to Phoenix Financial Services LLC. Phoenix Financial Services received this letter on XX/XX/2023. This letter informed them that they had violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by failing to respond to my Validation Request and by posting this disputed collection account to my credit report. I further instructed them to remove this collection account from my credit report and discontinue all collection efforts. 

As of this writing, XX/XX/2023, this account is still showing on my credit report as of collection account and I have received NO to written response from Phoenix financial and feel they are now in violation of FDCPA. 

I am requesting assistance from FCPB to help clear this from my credit file and file formal complaints against Phoenix Financial Services. 

Please note, I have taken steps to secure legal representation for the purpose of pursuing damages for what I consider a blatant misuse of our credit reporting system and violation for the FDCPA. 

Best Regards
