Consumer Complaint: I checked my credit report and to my surprise there is a collection account for {$1500.00} from Credit Collection Services. I sent a certified letter to the address that appeared on my credit report but never heard anything. I do not owe this debt and this is really hurting my credit while trying to buy my first home. This needs to be taken off my credit report immediately or my next step is to seek immediate legal action.
