Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB Representative, I am writing to provide feedback regarding my recent complaint against Genesis Credit Management LLC. concerning a disputed debt they are reporting on my credit file. Despite multiple requests for validation, they have failed to provide sufficient proof that I owe this debt.

Summary of the Issue : 1. Disputed Debt : I disputed the collection account with the agency, requesting full validation under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). In response, they sent a copy of a lease agreement, which does not constitute definitive proof that I owe them.

2. Failure to Prove Debt Ownership : I sent a follow-up request questioning how they obtained my personal information and demanding evidence of their legal right to collect this debt ( such as a transfer of ownership from the original creditor ). They failed to provide this and instead resent the same lease agreement.

3. Records of Payment That Are Not Mine : The agency later provided records of payments, but these payments do not match any transactions I have made. I have asked for proof of how these payments were made ( such as bank statements or payment confirmations ), but they have not provided this information.

4. Repeated Requests for a Police Report : The agency is demanding that I file a police report to claim that the debt is not mine. However, I should not be required to file a police report when I am simply disputing their lack of valid proof that this debt belongs to me. 
5. Credit Bureau Disputes & Ongoing Reporting : I have also disputed this debt with XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX but the collection agency continues to report this unverified information, harming my credit. 

Requested Resolution : Given the collection agencys failure to properly validate the debt, I request the CFPB to take further action by : Requiring the collection agency to provide concrete proof that I owe them, including a full payment history and a contract that shows I am directly liable. 
Ensuring that they cease collection efforts and remove the account from my credit report if they can not produce adequate documentation. 
Investigating whether their request for a police report is being used as an improper tactic to shift the burden of proof onto me. 

This collection is negatively impacting my credit, and I am seeking your assistance in holding this agency accountable for properly verifying debt before pursuing collection. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. I appreciate the CFPBs role in protecting consumers from unfair and deceptive debt collection practices. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
