Consumer Complaint: A few weeks ago I got an notification about a debt that was placed on my credit report after checking in with my mortgage lender to make sure I was still on track. We found out the Security Credit Services had posted a collection on my report for {$1800.00}. I called right there in the office with my lender and asked for validation of the collection. I was told I get the validation in the mail. The only thing received in the mail was a paper saying who they were and that they had placed a collection on my report. That is not VALIDATION! I then sent a written request to validate this collection. Instead of getting the validation they have now reported it twice on the same report with very different dates after getting my letter of request for validation. This is getting out of hand and Im yet to get the validation. I am letting CFPB aware of this situation and will be sending out another request for validation AGAIN ; just in case they are responding back saying They never got a letter. I will also send the first letter that I sent to them along with the second letter.
