Product: Debt collection — Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: ERC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
To make this short and concise, I will describe the situation. 

Enhanced Recovery put an XXXX collection on my credit report a few months ago. I have attempted to dispute this account with the XXXX credit bureaus because I have had uninterrupted service with XXXX XXXX XXXX for 15 years now. The credit bureaus claimed that this account was verified as legitimate by Enhanced Recovery. 

After calling Enhanced Recovery, a representative named XXXX XXXX could n't say what the debt was for and could n't provide me with details of the charges but instead kept telling me to go talk to XXXX XXXX XXXX about this debt. When asked to speak to his supervisor, the line was put on hold and eventually hung up. They were called immediately back and I finally spoke with a supervisor. 

The Supervisor claimed that it was for a landline phone that was connected from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX he claimed that bills were sent to me with no response but he gave me an address I have n't lived in for many years. When the supervisor was asked why XXXX XXXX XXXX had never sent me a bill or contacted me about this debt he could n't answer. When asked why his company had n't contacted me either he still could n't answer. Finally, when I asked why his representative XXXX XXXX could n't say what this debt was about and why I was being told to get any relevant information from XXXX XXXX XXXX themselves but now the supervisor himself supposedly had the information to give me the supervisor could n't give me a response either. 

This debt is not mine and I do not owe XXXX anything. I have had service with them for 15 years and if I truly owed them anything they would have notified me. After all, they do have my current phone number and address. This debt is invalid and I believe Enhanced Recovery is trying to collect this debt fraudulently. They already " verified '' it with the credit bureaus when they know full well they ca n't. 

This account is literally the only account preventing me from buying a house and if Enhanced Recovery does n't quit it 's illegal collection tactics I will be forced to sue. Houses are n't getting any cheaper and I am not getting any younger.

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter on XXXX XXXX, 2015 about a collection account from XXXX that was placed with Enhanced REcovery and I 've never had XXXX so after speaking to a representative she stated she would be sending the account back to XXXX office as a fraudulent account and once there had been an outcome, I would be notified. I never heard anything from XXXX nor Enhanced Recovery so I assumed the account had been resolved through the fraud department of XXXX. I never lived at the address on file for this account nor did i ever give anyone permission to use my social security number to obtain services in my name. This account was originally with XXXX XXXX 2 or 3 years ago and I disputed it and it was deleted immediately due to the account not being mine. I tried to refinance my vehicle and because there was a brand new collection reporting with this company I was denied for my loan and they they wo n't pull my credit again for another 60 days. I want this account deleted immediately due to never being notified of the ressolution of my fraud dispute before randomly reporting the accountto the credit bureaus. Also after speaking with Enhanced Recovery today I notified that it was no longer with their office and had been sent back to XXXX XXXX so there is no reson for it to be on my report as of today

Complaint narrative:
I filed a complaint stating that the Public Record Information was inaccurate in its filing. As the term " Dismissed '' means that it is adjudicated by the law. My case concern no form of solvency, nothing was placed under conservancy, examinership, liquidation or provisional debt reconstruction. There were no exemptions, no surrender of any kind as stated within the regulations of the BAPCPA " Means Test ''. The credit bureaus have retrieve my information from a third party entity without my authorization, therefore holding my identity and credit under " Consumer Lock '' for 10 years. The Bankruptcy Court has confirmed that they did not verify by documentation and the credit agencies have stated I can no longer challenge this negative entry. This discrepancy has prevented me in my personal life 's pursuit. Please advocate for me in this challenge.

Complaint narrative:
I recently became aware of an entry on my XXXX report. I moved from California in 2010 and advised the post office of my change of address. The agency purports that I owe money for services I do not recall having. I asked for the original creditors name and phone number and was refused. Additionally, the phone numbers they claim to have reached me on are all not mine. When I disputed this with the creditor and asked that they show proof, they re-aged this account on my credit report. They failed to report this as a disputed account FCRA Section 623 as well as re-aging my account. 
I am asking Experian to validate this purported debt and remove from my report.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX to pay all balances in full through phone, and the XXXX representative agreed and confirmed that the account was CURRENT. Then, I requested the account to be closed. 

Upon checking my annual credit report on XX/XX/XXXX from the XXXX credit reporting agencies : Experian, XXXX, and XXXX, I have found that my credit reports showed my closed XXXX account was " 30 days past due ''. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote a letter to XXXX and requested an investigation to resolve the issue. In the letter, I provided XXXX with full name and account number. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX wrote me a letter to request me to send XXXX the full card number which I did not have because I already destroyed the card when I closed the account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote a letter to XXXX to explain them that I no longer possessed the card and therefore was unable to provide the card number. However, I gave them my social security number and date of birth including the full account number, and requested XXXX to investigate. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX responded in a letter stating " Our records indicate that the information appearing on your credit report is correct '' without providing any physical evidence and detail how XXXX came to that conclusion. 

I do not agree XXXX conclusion without providing any physical evidence to prove that the payment was late in XX/XX/XXXX. Furthermore, I do not agree with XXXX tactics to delay the investigation by requesting the information that was already provided such as account number. 

Since XXXX is not able to provide any physical evidence that the payment was late in XX/XX/XXXX, I request XXXX to notify the XXXX credit reporting agencies : Experian, XXXX, and XXXX to remove or delete the negative item on my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
In 2008 I had business bankruptcy. My wife and I paid off all our debts accordance to judge decision and our credit score slowly started going up. Now I have over XXXX score with XXXX and XXXX but Experian score is only XXXX! We do n't have any credit cards since 2008 and XXXX late payments since 2008 so there is no reason for Experian to give us XXXX points less than the other XXXX agencies. I called Experian many times trying to figure out why my score only with this agency so low and because of Experian we can not get any credit cards at all. Unfortunately Experian refuses to change anything saying " it is not us - contact XXXX '' and .... XXXX of course saying " nothing we can do about it - it comes from Experian - so contact them '' Its like " Catch XXXX situation '' - there absolutely nothing wrong with our Experian credit report ( we have XXXX negative items on their report ) but they can not change anything and XXXX can not change anything. The most frustration is ( according to Experian ) since there is " nothing wrong '' with my credit ( of course we are never late and do not own any credit cards and almost no debts ) there is nothing to fix! 
we even bought XXXX XXXX about 6 months ago by using XXXX XXXX and paid if 100 % back but even this did not improved our score with Experian!!! I have the only question : is Experian is about the law and they can XXXX anyone, anytime and can not be hold responsible?
