Product: Other debt

Issue: Written notification about debt

Consumer Consent Provided to Share Complaint: Consent provided

Consumer Complaint: I asked the collection agency to validate the XXXX debt they have been trying to collect on. I received no response. Instead, I experienced more aggressive collection activity. I explained to them that this has been paid long ago and that they were reporting this same account several times. Since they refused to validate the bill I then disputed this account information as inaccurate with the bureaus.

When I asked for validation of the debt I asked for very basic items. Absolutely no response. FCRA requires a debt be verified 30 days during which time the disputed debt is not supposed to be reported.

The collection agency is ignoring my requests for validation, reported a disputed debt, and is re-aging and duplicating the same exact debt that was paid long ago.
