Product: Credit card debt

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Consumer Consent Provided to Share Complaint: Consent provided

Consumer Complaint: The debt owed was from my brother who passed away XX/XX/2018 and I told XXXX XXXX that there was no estate. They told me the situation was closed and that a LETTER would be sent to me stating so but instead I received a bill today XX/XX/18 for my deceased brothers debt in my name. They can say what they want but this is a bill not just a letter like they said on the phone. Now I have to go hire a lawyer to make sure that they did not put it on my credit report like the reviews have said they done to other people. What they sent is clearly not just a letter like they said but a bill with my name listed. I have already made contact with XXXX law firm who is also handling other lawsuits against XXXX XXXX XXXX.
