Consumer Complaint: Company : Security Credit Services Amount : {$1700.00} Dispute Letter Send Out XX/XX/2018 Security Credit Services trying to collect on a debt I Do Not owe. I disputed this account immediately with the credit reporting bureaus in XX/XX/2018 as not mine. I only notice because it showed on my Credit Report. I have never heard of or know of Security Credit Services or the company affiliated with them such as XXXX and XXXX. Around XX/XX/2018 I was notified that Security Credit Services had reported on my credit reports and the original creditor was XXXX. I received a collection letter from XXXX showing XXXX XXXX XXXX as a Ceditor and claiming I owed the debt so I requested a Debt Validation to supply me with the original contract with my name on it. Security Credit Services and/ or XXXX XXXX, XXXX is ruining my credit and I am simply tired of having them re-selling this fraudulent debt to a third party debt collector. I have NO Knowledge of this debt and have never opened an account with XXXX and they are listing this fraudulent account as mine. I have since filed an Identity Theft report against this fraudulent account against XXXX XXXX , XXXX, Security Credit Services, and XXXX with the Federal Trade Commission.
Note : An attempt to contact Social Security Service by phone at ( XXXX ) XXXX was made on XX/XX/2018. Call was not answered and a message was left with the answer machine.
