Consumer complaint received 2025-08-04 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Diversified Adjustment Service, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against Diversified Adjustment Service , Inc. for unlawful debt collection practices in connection with an alleged XXXX  account ( XXXX XXXXXXXX ) in the amount of {$180.00}. 

This debt has been previously disputed and removed from my credit report during an earlier collection attempt by this same agency. After that, the account was passed to another collection firm, which I also disputed. Now, the debt has been recycled and reassigned back to Diversified Adjustment, despite having never been validated or proven.

I recently received a new letter from Diversified Adjustment claiming to provide " verification, '' but it only contained a generic statement of the amount owed with no supporting documentation, no account records, no signed contract, and no proof of their legal authority to collect. This does not meet the requirements for debt validation under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Furthermore, this repeated reassignment and attempted collection of a previously disputed debt raises serious concerns of unlawful re-aging and harassment under both the FDCPA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate Diversified Adjustment Service for : Continuing to collect on a debt that was previously disputed and unvalidated ; Failing to provide proper debt validation ; Recycling and reassigning a disputed debt in bad faith ; Possible re-aging of the debt for credit reporting purposes.

I request that Diversified Adjustment : Cease all collection activity related to this account ; Be prohibited from reporting the debt to any credit bureau ; Be required to provide full documentation if they wish to pursue this debt ; Face enforcement action for any violations of consumer protection laws.

Additionally, the same debt was previously reported by Diversified Adjustment Service to XXXX where I successfully disputed and had it removed. They are now reporting the same alleged debt to XXXX despite no new evidence or resolution. This appears to be an intentional attempt to circumvent the prior dispute, and may constitute unlawful re-aging and deceptive reporting under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I believe this pattern is part of a broader strategy to mislead credit reporting systems and harass consumers.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information that appears on my credit report pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to formally request that this information be blocked or removed. I am including a copy of my identity theft report issued by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) XXXX as supporting evidence for my claim.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block or delete any information identified by the consumer as resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days. 
The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX As outlined in 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I am formally requesting that this fraudulent information be blocked or removed immediately from my credit report. This information should remain blocked for a period of one year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no fraudulent data should continue to appear in my file. 
I have contacted the credit bureau reporting these fraudulent accounts multiple times, and they have failed to provide me with an effective resolution. This situation is severely affecting me and feels like a never-ending cycle. I do not understand how these accounts can still be reported as mine when I have already proven otherwise. 
Please help me by removing these accounts immediately. I am including my FTC report again, hoping that you will make a better and fairer decision in my case. Thank you for your attention.
