XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in attempt to collect a debt disclosed personal information about my health which is protected under XXXX. After the said violation, they provided information to a third party Credit Bureau of Bessemer. When I wrote them, they sent me a copy of the medical information which is protected under HIPPA. I notified them of said violation at which point they retained XXXX XXXX a law firm located in XXXX, Alabama. I contacted XXXX XXXX 's attorney of Record who is handling this issue XXXX XXXX XXXX via fax, email, and phone to no avail as she sent a letter stating that my HIPPA rights were not violated via their client 's collection practices. I informed her that the information sent to me to validate my debt was indeed a violation of my HIPPA rights. Once in receipt of said information, I got no further response nor even an acknowledgment of receipt. I was then sent a follow-up collection letter by their client XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

The credit reporting agency XXXX faced a global security breach, resulting in millions of consumers personal information being exposed. As a result of this, I am a victim of identity theft. Under the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PROTECTION ACT, I have the right to bring this information forth to a judge in my area, to file suit against your company for reporting this fraudulent account to my XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX credit reports. If you do not immediately remove these inaccurate and incomplete accounts in 1 business day, I will move forward with filing suit against your company and all companies involved, as I have never done business with your organization and should not be responsible for any fraudulent accounts and information placed on my personal credit files as a result of identity theft. Over 60 days ago, I requested full debt validation from your company however I have yet to receive the legal information requested.

I had a medical bill which was settled via legal action in full on XXXX/XXXX/2012 yet the Credit Bureau of Bessemer somehow bought the settled debt and has reported it ( 1 ) wrongly on my credit reports as the date they say it was incurred keeps changing and ( 2 ) when written via certified mail to send verification failed to do so three times. Yet when XXXX investigated it ( twice ) they somehow verified it to them ( not XXXX as they took it off my report for lack of verification ). So what gives? Even without verification of a non existant debt this collection agency can say one owes a debt to a credit reporting company and they will accept it with no documentation only the word of a XXXX debt buyer who pays XXXX cents on the dollar for accounts that may or may not actually be past due?

I have asked CB Bessemer XXXX to validate a collection they are reporting on my credit reports on XXXX/XXXX/16, XXXX/XXXX/16 and they have failed to provide anything that would support the fact that they are attempting to collect interest on a debt without an agreement or contract. Nor have they supplied anything other than a statement on XXXX of the collections. I told them that I would be reporting them to you but they obviously do n't fear you because they failed to delete themselves or answer questions about the debt ( s ) that they are using to damage me financially. Its damaging my credit and it is important to me.

Credit Bureau of Bessemer continues to attempt to collect a debt that has been paid in full. My debt was paid on XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2015. I owed {$58.00} for a dental visit charge that exceeded insurance payment. Credit Bureau of Bessemer was paid {$58.00} plus a {$5.00} phone/debit card processing fee for a total of {$63.00}. It has been greater than 90 days and Credit Bureau of Bessemer is still reporting the collection on my credit file and is still attempting to collect the debt. This is illegal and immoral. Credit Bureau of Bessemer Should be fined and audited.
