I am giving authorization to this company to respond to this cfpb complaint before I proceed with litigation. As a federally protected consumer, this company has violated my consumer rights and has defamed my character by attempting to collect an alleged debt. They also have reported this information to consumer reporting agencies when I have never engaged in an agreement with this company, nor have I given them written, nonwritten, verbal, nonverbal consent to communicate with me both directly and indirectly pursuant to 12 CFR 1006.6 ( b ) ( 4 ) ( i ) and multiple federal laws pursuant to 15 U.S. Code Subchapter V - DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES. Furthermore, they claim that they are attempting to collect a debt from a purchased contract which violates Uniform Commercial Code 3-203 which states that once a contract has been transferred, you cancel all rights to collect. I have a right to privacy pursuant to the privacy act of 1974, to be more specific 5 U.S.C 552a, and this company did not get my permission to use my social security number which has caused me monetary damages. I could not purchase a home, a new vehicle or further extend my credit as a result of this pursuit. The following are federal laws that have been violated in pursuit of this alleged obligation with a brief explanation on how it was violated. 12 CFR 1006.10 and 15 U.S. Code 1692b - Acquisition of location information.

I have the right to keep my financial life private and I have not given this company any authorization to use my social security number. 3-203. TRANSFER OF INSTRUMENT ; RIGHTS ACQUIRED BY TRANSFER. Primary tabs ( a ) An instrument is transferred when it is delivered by a person other than its issuer for the purpose of giving to the person receiving delivery the right to enforce the instrument. ( b ) Transfer of an instrument, whether or not the transfer is a negotiation, vests in the transferee any right of the transferor to enforce the instrument, including any right as a holder in due course, but the transferee can not acquire rights of a holder in due course by a transfer, directly or indirectly, from a holder in due course if the transferee engaged in fraud or illegality affecting the instrument.

XXXX, XXXX XXXX SOC SEC # XXXX DOB XX/XX/XXXX ADDRESS : XXXX XXXX XXXX. # XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX L J ROSS ASSOC Ive submitted enough information regarding the fraudulent account thats open in my name I have provided information for your company to have carried out a reasonable investigation of this dispute. If you had investigated properly rather then using your XXXX system you would have noticed that this account is not mine which your companies have claimed to Verified. This letter is being sent to you in response to notices sent to me from your company and more importantly, due to your erroneous reporting to the Credit Bureau { s }, the highly negative impact on my personal credit report. Please be advised that this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 { b } that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above named Title and Section. I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. Please provide me with the following : What the money you say I owe is for : Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe : Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe : Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable : Identify the original creditor : Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account : Show me the you are licensed to collect in my state : Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent or Agent of Service : At this time I will also inform that if offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major Credit Bureaus { XXXX, XXXX or XXXX } this action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by theses companies, I will not hesitate to bring legal action against you for the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Defamation of Character If your offices are able to provide proper documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information and during such time all collection activity must cease and desist. Since youve obviously neglected to investigate this account thoroughly I am demanding you remove this account off my profile. It is at this time that I will point out the in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldnt merely Parrot information from the creditors and collection agencies that they have conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and honesty/integrity of the creditors/CA in question. Sending out a generic form through the XXXX system that doesnt even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. Which Im sure you are aware each violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows damages of {$1000.00} should this matter ends up in court. I look forward to an expedite resolution of this matter Thank you. Also, during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with my legal counsel for suit. This includes listing any information with a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated or verifying an account as accurate, when it fact there is no provided proof that it is accurate. If your company fails to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit report and a copy of such deletion { to any/all of the 3 major credit reporting bureaus : XXXX, XXXX and XXXX } request shall be sent to me immediately. I would also like to request, in writing, that no telephone contact be made by your company to my home or my place of employment. If your offices attempt telephone communication with me, including but not limited to computer generated calls and calls or correspondence sent to or with any third parties, it will be considered harassment and I will have no choice but to file suit. All future communications with me MUST be done in writing and sent to the address noted in this letter by USPS. It would be advisable that you assure your records are in order before I am forced to take legal action against your company and your client. This is an attempt to correct your records, any information obtained shall be used for that purpose. Best Regards, XXXX, XXXX XXXX SOC SEC # XXXX DOB XX/XX/XXXX ADDRESS : XXXX XXXX XXXX. # XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX

On XX/XX/2018, my boyfriend received a missed call to his telephone from an unrecognized number. When he returned the call, an associate stated that they were looking for me regarding a bill due to XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). Believing that it was XXXX calling, my boyfriend told the associate that he would have me call their offices. He then contacted me and stated that XXXX called him about a bill that I owe. He also questioned why they called him. This also seemed odd to me, as I had never given XXXX my boyfriend 's number. I immediately contacted XXXX and learned that I had a final bill of {$120.00}, which was now overdue. I was not aware of the bill until that moment and paid the bill in full. I then asked why they called my boyfriend. The XXXX associate stated that, as a business practice, XXXX does not contact third-parties for any reason and she confirmed that they did not have my boyfriend 's telephone number on file. I asked if the account had been sent to collections and the associate said that it had not. I later learned that she was mistaken, when on XX/XX/2018, I received an alert from my credit monitoring service that a collections account had been sent to the three major credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ). I called XXXX at this time and the first associate that I spoke to stated also stated the account had not been sent to collections, however, when I spoke with a supervisor, she confirmed that her colleagues had been mistaken and that the account had been sent to collections on XX/XX/2018, when the account was 15 days overdue. It was at the point that I began to think that it may have been collections agency that called my boyfriend. XXXX XXXX XXXX directly and learned that it was their office who called my boyfriend. On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX 18, XXXX said they would notify the collections agency, LJ Ross Associates, that the account was paid on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX 18 and to remove it from collections. The supervisor also suggested that I contact LJ Ross Associates to discuss deletion of the account from my credit reports in consideration of the fact that they began reporting the collection 7 days after I paid the debt, as XXXX did not have the authority to delete the account. On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX 18, I contacted LJ Ross Associates with this request, but they declined to delete the account and the associate was extremely rude and condescening. In addition, the associate stated that they notified me of the debt prior to reporting it to the CRAs, when I spoke with them on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX 18. I explained that I had not called or spoken to anyone in their office prior to XXXX XX/XX/XXXX 18, nor had i ever received a call from their offices. The associate continued to insist that they spoke with me, so I asked her to repeat the telephone number of the person who they spoke with. She repeated the last four digits of my boyfriend 's number and gave no indication that she even had my telephone number on file. This is when I realized that it was LJ Ross Associates who called my boyfriend on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX 18, not XXXX. I let the associate know that it was my boyfriend who they spoke with and that it was him who they shared my debt information. At first the associate denied that this occurred, then she stated that it did not matter who they spoke with, their records say that they spoke with and will continue to show this, r and that as far as they are concerned, I was notified of the debt directly. The associate refused to discuss the matter further. I am reporting LJ Ross Associates for informing a third party of my debt and failure to identify, while misrepresenting themselves. They also continue to base their decision to report my account to the CRAs after I paid the debt, on the false belief that they informed me of the debt prior, although they are well aware that this is not true. Further, if they continue to insist that they spoke to me on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX 18, despite it not being true, by law they were required to notify me of the debt in writing within 5 days after this alleged conversation, which they failed to do. If all telephone calls are recorded as they say, evidence of all conversations should be available.

I received a debt collection notice from L J Ross Associates , Inc. dated XX/XX/2022 at an address I did not provide to them nor to XXXX, the company they were attempting to collect an alleged debt in the amount of {$34.00} for. XXXX XXXX and XXXX ( XXXX ) is a utility company in Maryland. Once I received the notice from L J Ross, I contacted XXXX and paid off the balance on the account immediately. After contacting XXXX, I sent L J Ross a cease and desist notice dated XX/XX/2022 and pointed out multiple FDCPA violations they committed by sending me their collection notice accusing me of owing a debt. I also invoiced them {$4000.00} for the violations they committed. I offered to settle the offenses just between the two of us. When they responded to the cease and desist, they falsely identified XXXX as the original creditor. They did not mention anything about the settlement offer I made to them. Nor did they remit payment of my invoice. On XX/XX/2022 at XXXX in the afternoon, I called L J Ross to follow up with them regarding my invoice. After being transferred a couple times, I spoke to a man. He already had the account pulled up but told me unless I lift the cease and desist, he could not discuss the account with me. He asked could I lift it, I said, " sure ''. He also ask me to verify my identity by providing him with the last 4 digits of my social security number or my date of birth. I gave him my date of birth. I was shocked he had that information considering I did not give it to him nor did I authorize anyone else to give it to him or L J Ross. I asked him about the status of the payment of my invoice. He ask me, " did I want him to send me {$4000.00} for sending them a letter ''. I told him, " No. I want {$4000.00} for the federal laws you have violated by sending me a debt collection letter ''. He said he wasn't going to send the payment. I told him I would pursue legal action. He said that's fine. We ended the call at XXXX XXXX. L J Ross is now in default of my invoice. They had 30 days to dispute and they did not. Since L J Ross Associates , Inc. wasn't willing to settle the matter before, in additional to the 4 FDCPA violations I outlined to my cease and desist notice as well as in the invoice I sent them, I have more violations to add since they responded to my cease and desist notice. Four additional times they violated FDCPA 1692b ( 5 ) by including the company 's logo on the envelope and in the contents of the envelope. Two more times they violated FDCPA 15 USC 1692f ( 8 ) by including their company 's logo in the content of the envelope. Each one of these violation carries a fine of {$1000.00} each. L J Ross Associates , Inc. violated federal law 18 USC 1028 ( a ) ( 7 ) & ( b ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( i ) ( ii ) by obtain my private information without lawful authority to defraud me by attempting to collect an alleged debt. This offense carries a criminal penalty of not more than 15 years of imprisonment if found guilty and a fine. L J Ross also violated 18 USC 1028A ( a ) ( 1 ) aggravated identity theft by obtaining my private information without lawful authority. This violation carries a penalty of 2 years of imprisonment if found guilty and the fine prescribed in 18USC 3571 ( a ) ( c ) ( 3 ) of {$500000.00}. XXXX XXXX and XXXX company ( XXXX ) violated these same federal laws by transferring my private information to L J Ross Associates, Inc. without my prior consent.

I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against LJ ROSS ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX ) concerning their handling of my credit account ( Account # : XXXX ). This complaint pertains to serious violations of my consumer rights and non-compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Background of the Issue : Account and Reporting Details : The account in question was opened on XX/XX/XXXX, and is categorized as a collection account. Despite being paid, it has been reported with a status of " Collection/Chargeoff '' as of the last report on XX/XX/XXXX. Disputed Information : It has been noted in the account comments that the information was disputed by the consumer and meets FCRA requirements. However, the adverse reporting remains unresolved. Key Concerns : Violation of FCRA Standards : The FCRA mandates accurate and fair reporting of credit information. The reporting of this account as a collection/chargeoff post-payment is inaccurate and misleading, negatively impacting my credit report and score. Failure to Update Personal Information : I had proactively informed LJ ROSS of my change of address following a significant incident of mail theft. This notification was provided in a timely manner, with the expectation of ensuring the security and accuracy of communication related to my account. Despite this notification, LJ ROSS failed to update this critical personal information in their records. This neglect resulted in several adverse consequences : Misdirected Communications, Uninformed Financial Decisions, and Increased Vulnerability to Fraud. The resultant misreporting as a collection/chargeoff in my credit report is a direct outcome of LJ ROSS 's failure to act on my updated information. Obligation to Provide Proof of Verification by Collection Agency : Mandated Verification Process : In compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically under Section 809 ( Validation of debts ) [ 15 USC 1692g ], LJ ROSS is required to provide detailed verification of the debt. This includes original creditor documentation, authority to collect, and account accuracy confirmation. Definition and Relevance of Identity Theft : Identity Theft Concerns : The failure to update my personal information has led to circumstances that parallel identity theft. This negligence has facilitated financial decisions and activities under my name without my consent. Emotional and Psychological Impact : Personal Crisis Beyond Financial Harm : This situation has caused immense emotional and psychological distress. The realization that my personal information has been mishandled in a way that aligns with identity theft has led to significant anxiety and uncertainty. Demand for Justice and Corrective Measures : Urgent Need for Action : I implore LJ ROSS to rectify this situation immediately, including correcting the inaccurate information on my credit report. Call for Legal Compliance and Protection : I urge the relevant authorities to investigate this matter in the context of identity theft and FCRA violations. I await your prompt attention to this serious matter and look forward to a just resolution.

My youngest daughter, XXXX, broke her wrist this past winter. During the course of her treatment, there were times that my dad, had to take her to appointments as both her father and I had to work. I filled out all initial paperwork and indicated that I would be responsible for all billings associated with her treatment. I provided our home address and home phone number as the only contact information. I paid all bills that arrived in the mail and thought that I had taken care of all treatment costs associated with this break. However, my dad received notification that there was a physician bill that had not been paid and it was in collections under his name. I immediately called the provider, now XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( previously just XXXX XXXX ) to find out what happened. I spoke with a XXXX in XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2016 regarding the matter. She noted that XXXX had tried to mail the bill for the physician to me one time at our home address and it came back undeliverable. They did not attempt any other mailings, though I received multiple other bills to our home address for this and other services from the hospital during this time frame without incident. She noted that they then tried to call a cell phone number four times without getting a response. Again, I had not provided a cell phone number in any of the paperwork associated with this provider or claim. I indicated to XXXX that I always pay my bills with the hospital and would like to do so with this bill. However, given the circumstances, I wanted to request that the bill be taken out of collections altogether and especially in the name of my father. Further, given the amount of the bill, I requested that I be allowed to be put on a payment schedule as I would have requested right away had I received the bill. Both requests were denied. The hospital maintains that my dad is responsible for the bill as he took her to the appointments even though I had signed as the responsible party. Furthermore, I signed an Authorization For Release Of Protected Health Information To Family Members Or Other Persons that specifically indicated that XXXX could disclose information related to medical conditions, diagnosis or lab reports to both my mother and to my father. However, I did not indicate that billing inquiries on the account could be directed to them. Obviously, they disregarded this request. As neither my father nor I ever received any written documentation on the matter, I do not have an account number or more specific information on the collection agency the debt was sent off to.

Case # XXXX The following is a rebuttal to LJ Ross & assoc l etter. Pardon me for starting a new complaint as you had closed the old : CPFB XXXX XXXX XXXX Case # XXXX Dea r Manager, Thank you for your prompt response. Unfortunately, XXXX XXXX and LJ Ross asso ciates ( LJRA ) half-baked research and lackadaisical reporting lacks relevant points of facts : 1. That ou r property at XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX , MD XXXX was a rental property. The renter had a separate XXXX account. However, when the renter moved out and much later the bank foreclosed on the property XXXX decided to purge that account and outstanding balance was merged into our current account on XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX MD XXXX ( p resent home ). {$910.00} was merged with latter account exactly on XX/XX/XXXX ( account history enclosed ). 2. So when XXXX makes a claim that the utility bill is for present home she is condescending. Either she lives in a cave or below some rock to not realize how can some live on a property ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), n ot pay utility bills and yet the utility company does NOT turn off the power. And why does the company not turn off power? Because bills are have been paid on time and the account is current. 3. That XXXX fails to ask requisite questions on XXXX and blindly ascertains that XXXX bill is not included in the bankruptcy. She is again found stating falsely that utility bills are not for XXXX when the account history referred in para XXXX above highlights the falsehood. 4. XXXX without first getting hold of itemized statement from XXXX unabashedly goes on a charact er assassination c ampaign making false assumptions. While she is able to find out when bankruptcy was filed and discharged but made no efforts to ascertain for what property? After all certain debts are discharged as result of bankruptcy, right! Had she done her job she would been pleasantly surprised? Easy to destroy a poor consumer 's credit but tough to get relevant facts and details! Lo Behold! High handedness. From the preceding it can safely be concluded that over-reaching and tone-deaf characteristics of collection agencies who are most concerned about their bottom-line and consider good-credit of customers as trivial hence expendable and LJRA is no exception. Regrettably, CPFB lacks the teeth to take such self-aggrandizing and disreputable collections agencies to task. Or is it? Thanks again for all the great service you extend. Best regards. Most respectfully, XXXX XXXX

I have been continuously getting the run around from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and LJ Ross Associates regarding my medical bills- patient responsibility amounts. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX to make a payment arrangement on ALL outstanding bills as the statement I received in the mail stated. It stated that if I was unable to pay that I could call and setup a payment arrangement. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and was setup on a payment arrangement and paid the balance in full XX/XX/XXXX . Then the very next day I g ot a letter from LJ Ross Associates which is a debt collection agency for a balance I thought I just paid through the payment arrangement. XXXX XXXX XXXX uses, LJ Ross Associates as a debt collector and the few bills that I was under the impression I was paying off were not included in the payment arrangement only facility fees. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX after talking to a representative a t LJ Ross and the XXXX XXXX XXXX billing representative " XXXX '' told me that, that bill was not included in the payment arrangement. I do not understand how they could have been left them out when I asked for " ALL '' outstanding bills to be setup on a payment arrangement bills. I am in the process of obtaining a mortgage and this is hurting my credit score. This is super frustrating and this is not the first time XXXX XXXX XXXX has billed me incorrectly. In the past they have not billed my insurance timely and then when they finally do bill my insurance and my insurance pays their portion I get sent my co-pay or patient responsibility to a debt collector instead of giving me the opportunity to pay first. XXXX XXXX XXXX facility has gone through various changes through the past 10 years and I really think that they have cut corners to clear accounts before new owners have taken over. Fortunately, I have gotten those past issue off my credit report by disputes through the XXXX credit bureaus, but this is getting very frustrating and I need this to stop. I 'm sure I am not the only that this issue has happen too. XXXX XXXX XXXX billing practices ne ed to be investigated. And currently the bills I have been responsible for that were sent to LJ Ross for collection were paid an d LJ Ross list ed them as a charge off on my credit report when that is not accurate. I understand that may be a separate issue but both companies practices should be investigated.

I had electric services with XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I was moving out of Indiana, had my account requested to be closed on XX/XX/2022. I have paid all my bills on time for electric utilities. On XX/XX/XXXX, the account was closed and the final bill came due, XXXX, I paid this on XX/XX/XXXX, the due date on the final bill was pay by XX/XX/2022. Apparently on XX/XX/2022 I was sent to debt collections LJ Ross associates, I received a letter dated XX/XX/2022 that I was sent to collections for XXXX ( this was already paid ). Since mail takes some time to get to me, I opened the letter on XX/XX/XXXX, was distraught that this occurred. I called XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX in the XXXX, they said that there was a " system error '' that occurred and several accounts were sent to collections mine happened to be in that account, then it was recalled on XX/XX/XXXX, they said nothing will go to credit bureau and that LJ Ross or other debt collector should not be collecting. I then called LJ Ross later in the day on XX/XX/XXXX, they stated the account was recalled and they can not give any other information and told me to call XXXX. I then called XXXX they said that it was a system error account has been recalled, I have paid in full, and that it should not hit the credit bureau, but it would be LJ Ross that reports that, they said to check XXXX in a couple of weeks. I stated okay, and I stated that this is a significant amount of work, time consuming out of personal time, and requires checking multiple places ( XXXX, LJ Ross, XXXX ), and that there should be compensation for literally time wasted for an error done by XXXX, I was denied compensation, one rep sent me to a supervisor, I notified the supervisor who I spoke with I would like this I was told I can file a damage claim online ( there is no damage claim for financial compensation ), and then I was told another supervisor would reach out for my concern, I notified that this type of behavior is not acceptable to have accounts sent to debt collection and waste customer 's time, and I should receive compensation, I notified the supervisor I will post on CFPB for this behavior. I would like fair compensation for my efforts at making sure I am not put into debt collection for no reason, my credit report is not damaged. This compensation can be negotiated with myself.

This complaint involves a utility, XXXX XXXX, in New York, and their collection agency LJ Ross Associates in XXXX XXXX XXXX Michigan, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX MI XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX. I have a stellar credit record, always paying my bills and have no late or bills in default. I had moved to an apartment building and was disputing charges that were inappropriate to my account with the utility. The basis for my complaint is that after a few months, I actually moved out of the apartment but was being charged by the utility as if I lived there. The charges were several hundreds of dollars monthly based perhaps on another tenant 's prior usage but not my actual usage. XXXX XXXX - without any notice to me - sent my account to LJ Ross Associates. In turn, and once again without ANY NOTICE to me, LJ Ross Associates put a collection notice on my credit report -- permanently damaging my credit standing for absolutely no reason. I never said that I would not pay the bill, rather the bill from the utility needed to reflect the accurate charges. My complaint surrounds treatment of me and complete disregard for the credit rating and score that I have had all of my life, having paid all of my bills without ever being late or delinquent. These are harsh and unforgiving tactics that are undeserved given that I absolutely was intending to pay my bills, as I have for the past XXXX years as a XXXX XXXX client in New York. This shows me that utter disregard and harm has been done, given that collection efforts CAN remain on the credit report for up to 7 years. This is bullying, destructive and cruel, with malice, with absolutely no care for people in a pandemic. I will also state I closed my XXXX XXXX account and moved out of state ; however, my email and phone and all contact information was readily available and in the possession of XXXX XXXX and its collection agency. I am hoping with this complaint that an investigation take place and that these firms institute corrective measures to 1 ) provide notice of collection referral prior to damaging an innocent person 's credit report ; 2 ) request and strongly encourage LJ Ross Associates to remove the collection activity from my credit report to be permanently expunged since it was there wrongly and without ANY justification and notice.

Account # XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX Are in violation Not only have you ignored my prior requests for validation of the debt letter will again request that you follow the FDCPA and please provide the following : Validation of Debt Request -Proof that you can collect on a debt in my state -Proof of the date the account went into delinquency -Your Bond ( if required ) in the event I need to seek counsel -Proof of your right to own/collect this alleged debt -Balance claimed including all fees, interest, and penalties -Contract bearing my personal signature As you may be aware, " Estoppel by Silence '' legally means that you had a duty to speak but failed to do so, therefore, that must mean you agree with me that this debt is false. You have violated my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act These accounts are in violation of : 15 USC 1692c ( c ) Ceasing communication, FDCPA 807 [ 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( 3 ) ] False or misleading representations 15 USC 1681a ( 3 ) ( a ) ( b ) ( c ) Restriction on sharing of medical information 15 USC 1681b ( 4 ) Limitation on redisclosure of medical information I am seeking monetary damages for each violation made On XX/XX/2022, I checked my state license requirements for collection agencies and it states that in order to collect from consumers in this state ( Wisconsin ), you must have a license and be bonded. I sent a letter to your company six weeks ago asking that you provide me with proof that you meet my state licensing requirements. As of today, you have not responded. Because of that, I checked your company name to find out whether you were bonded and whether you have a license to collect in my state, and your company name is not in the system. As of right now, your company is violating my states law, and penalties for violating the law are harsh. If your company does not delete the negative information that is appearing on my credit report due to your illegal reporting within 10 days of this letter, I will have no other choice but to seek legal advice and report your company to the Attorney Generals office, the XXXX XXXX XXXX and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

I'm a victim of identity theft and fraud against me.I have already made proper reports with appropriate agencies and am still going through it and it's exhausting and relentless especially with companies who don't do their due diligence and ask for proper ID or background checks, if they did these examples would be less of a headache I'm already going through.So I was pulling my credit report and found this, no phone call, no documentation, no validation so I could even dispute to remove.Was only made aware of this fraudulent activity against me by pulling my credit reports for another problem.I immediately called and was met with a rude hostile person whom I told who I was and this is a result of my identity being stolen and fraud against me in so many words, and they haven't even did the bare minimum of validation by FCRA standards i believe there supposed to at minimum, not even a phone call, and it's because it's not mine it's fraudulent against me and should immediately be removed, met with refusal of course.Did find out where my stolen identity was used this time was from XXXX XXXX somewhere in Texas where I never lived.I called XXXX XXXX and spoke to a XXXX and told him this was not mine and a result of identity theft and fraud against me and they didn't even call much less provide validation ... because it isnt mine and don't exist, but I repeated he needs to send me validation so I can turn documents over to identity theft, he refused.This is false and fraudulent negligent credit slandering reporting and needs to be removed.This has gotten so twisted and theyve gotten away with this so long without accountability its very distressing and disturbing.Im not very good with putting thing into to words, but i think my point is made thus is wrong.I did however dispute and report this with a couple agencies so far afterwards and will vigorously stand angainst all wrongs against me and will continue to stand for whats honest and right even if i have to stand alone.Thank you and please remove all false and fraudulent credit slandering reports against me as we consider further proper options to deter these bad practices.

Dear Collector : Please be advised this letter is a demand for validation pursuant to the Michigan Consumer Protection Act and the FDCPA, made by XXXX XXXX. Your failure to respond may trigger action for damages brought by an individual consumer against XXXX XXXX XXXX, for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 USC 1692 et seq., and the Michigan Collection Practices Act ( State Act ), MCL 339.901 et seq., which prohibit debt collectors from engaging in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices. Furthermore, FCRA Sections 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) & ( B ) stipulates what a collection agency must do to attempt to determine the date it must provide to a consumer reporting agency for calculating a seven-year period. This date is a key to ensuring that collection accounts, even when transferred from one collection agency to another, do not result in a change in the calculation of the seven-year period for retention of adverse information. Be advised THIS IS NOT MY DEBT! Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692 ( g ) : I XXXX XXXX states that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. During this period of dispute, consistent with the requirements of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 USC 1692 et seq., you are required to stop all efforts to collect this alleged debt and remove any negative reporting to any credit reporting agencies or be held accountable for the ensuing liability and penalties arising under the FDCPA. Further consistent with the requirements of the FDCPA, 15 USC 1692g, please verify the debt you are seeking to collect, in writing, in the following particulars : What the money is owed for ; Explain and show how you calculated what you say is owed ; Provide copies of any papers that show the amount claimed to be owed was agreed upon ; Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable ; State if you purchased this debt from the original creditor ; Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account Show proof that you are licensed to collect in Michigan Provide copies of your license numbers and Registered Agent

On or around XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from an L.J. Ross & Associates. At the time of the call, an agent informed me of a debt that was reported to have been mine. During this call verification of debt was requested of L.J. Ross & Associates, and I provided my new address as of XX/XX/XXXX, along with my email address to have the verification documents provided to me, as I wanted something documented to ; ( 1 ) .Clearly explain the debt/amount. ( 2 ). Verify that L.J. Ross was a legitimate collections agency before agreeing to repayment/settlement and providing my payment information. After months I received another call from L.J Ross & Associates on XX/XX/XXXX, pertaining to this same issue, and I informed the phone assoicate of my prior request of verification document. The associate was again provided with my physical.mailing address and email address and she infomred me that the information had not been entered in there system previously? On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an emailed alert from my Credit Union informing me that that there had been a change to my report that could have a negative impact on my credit score, so I logged in to the credit monitoring app to find that L.J.Ross and Associates placed a collections on my report. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted L.J.Ross and Associates with the contact information listed on the collection entry of my credit report and ultimately requested to speak with a supervisor because the associate that I was connected to was very rude and unprofessional. Upon being connected to a supervisor the communication worstened and the supervisor ignored my concern that the agency did not follow the law and provide me with some documentation that confirmed this debt and confirmed that the attempt to collect my payment information were all legit, he just bantered with me and there no no resolve met with this agency in explaing how/why they placed a collections on my report. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a verification of debt and a letter verifying collections from L. J Ross & Associate, after they failed to negatively impacted my credit and failed to uphold consumer reporting laws.

Received multiple calls from L.J. ROSS & ASSOCIATES, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, MI XXXX, XXXX who is handling a debt for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) that is around {$110.00} and I have told the rep that the debt has been paid through XXXX. Regardless, the rep tried to collect payment as she refused to do her due diligence and tried to manipulate me into paying as she said I need to pay. Also, during the call, the rep provided me the last four digits of my social BEFORE confirming my identity and provided my previous addresses and full name. I was not comfortable with that and I would appreciate this matter be followed up on. I called back and discussed my concerns with someone who said they were a manager but, this is not the first time Ive had an issue like this with this collection company. Behaviors like this create XXXX! Especially during these unprecedented times where fraud and scams are forever exercised for monetary gains. I confirmed with XXXX that my account is current and am eligible for new service since I do not have a previous balance. XXXX told me that I do not need to provide proof to the collection agency and I am OK. I am being told conflicting information from XXXX and LJROSS. This collection agency made it appear that I NEEDED to pay THEM or the debt will not be effectively removed from collections. This company has been a pest and creating problems for me. I do not want this on my credit since, it is not valid. Ive disputed via XXXX and it was removed but, they still continue to call, relentlessly. Even AFTER it has been removed. It is still on the other two credit bureaus. I want them to remove it. Please note that the amount that I paid was higher than what was due but this amount will be credited towards my future account. I have proof but will not attach it due to not wanting the company to keep for their records. The specific incident mentioned in the above comments was on XX/XX/20. On this date, there were 3 separate calls placed, an incoming and two outgoing. I returned a missed call from the company, and called back and spoke to a manager.

L.J. Ross has repeatedly violated federally protected consumer rights by failing to adhere to government issued protocols for debt collectors ; federal authority granted in 12 U.S.C. 5481 ( 15 ) ( A ) ( xi ). Specific to the issues at hand, prior to reporting to a credit agency that an account is in collection status, as required under law, L.J. Ross must furnish verification of an alleged debt to the consumer. Further, L.J. Ross must notify the consumer of their right to dispute the alleged debt and the subsequent instruction. 12 C.F.R. 10 1006.34 ( a ). L.J. Ross is also barred from utilizing deceitful activities or tactics when working on the collection of any alleged debt. 12 C.F.R. 10 1006.18. L.J. Ross has violated the requirements of 12 C.F.R. 10 1006.34 ( a ) by not furnishing or attempting to furnish verification of the alleged debt. In fact, L.J. Ross DOES NOT MAKE AN ATTEMPT to notify an alleged debt prior to sending the debt to collection status. I have resided at the same address for four years and maintained the same phone number for sixteen years. By reporting to credit companies without notifying or providing consumers verification of alleged debt, L.J. Ross is engaging in deceitful tactics. Validation of the debt does not exist as reported, because claims of service dates do not match appointment or insurance benefit explanation statements. In addition, upon filing disputes with credit agencies has led to multiple collections accounts held by L.J. Ross being resolved and removed. However, L.J. Ross responds by reporting new accounts in collections for the same amounts. L.J. Ross has devalued by credit score by over ten percent, resulting in my failure to be able to secure a needed student loan or HELOC. I have been battling this agency for nearly a year, only to find similar stories and law firms advertising on how they can defeat L.J. Ross 's deceitful practices. Federal authority to issue protocols and regulate collections agencies was granted to the CFPB to ensure protections for consumers from companies like L.J. Ross.

This company is reporting an account that is not mine. They have failed to proof that their is a legal binding or contractual obligation to pay this debt. Furthermore, I am allowed under the HIPAA law ( Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ) to protect my privacy and medical records from THIRD PARTIES. I do not recall giving permission to LJ ROSS ASSOCIATES, for them to release my medical information to a third party, I understand that HIPAA does allow for limited information about me but any details may only be revealed with the patients authorization, therefore I demand that you cease and desist your illegal reporting of this account and have it deleted from my report as soon as possible. Here are the laws violated : XXXX. Communication in connection with debt collection ( a ) Communication with the consumer generally Without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector or the express permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, a debt collector may not communicate with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt -- ( 1 ) at any unusual time or place or a time or place known or which should be known to be inconvenient to the consumer. In the absence of knowledge of circumstances to the contrary, a debt collector shall assume that the convenient time for communicating with a consumer is after XXXX XXXX antemeridian and before XXXX XXXX postmeridian, local time at the consumer 's location ; ( 2 ) if the debt collector knows the consumer is represented by an attorney with respect to such debt and has knowledge of, or can readily ascertain, such attorney 's name and address, unless the attorney fails to respond within a reasonable period of time to a communication from the debt collector or unless the attorney consents to direct communication with the consumer ; or ( 3 ) at the consumer 's place of employment if the debt collector knows or has reason to know that the consumer 's employer prohibits the consumer from receiving such communication.

To Whom it May Concern, I was having major difficulty paying my bill due to landlord not providing gas heat and not allowing XXXX to access electric meters resulting in large billing adjustments. Weve received bill over {$1000.00}. Despite this and loss of employment, I still tried to pay XXXX. Thankfully, public assistance helped pay for the majority of the past due bill. I was in communications with XXXX, letting them know that I was not working and applying for public assistance. Even though a payment was made to XXXX they still sent my account to collections and did not they did not properly notify me that the account was going to collections. Details below : A payment of {$1000.00} was made on XX/XX/2019 to XXXX. On XX/XX/2019, XXXX sent the account to LJ Ross collections for {$460.00}. I was out of work and in the process of getting public assistance to have this bill paid, which I let XXXX know ; however even after a payment was made they immediately sent the account to collections. 2 ) I was not notified by either mail or phone call that this was going to collections. I later found an email from XXXX with the title Importance Notice from XXXX. The email did not state they were attempting to collect a debt. There was an attached letter that stated this. I was never contacted by LJ Ross either. I found out about the collections account in XX/XX/2019 after checking my credit report, which I paid immediately. As a reference, the landlord at the time was not providing gas heat so we had to use electric heaters during the winter. He also refused to provide XXXX access to the electric meters on a monthly basis, thus we were hit with large electric bills every 6-9 months. XXXX was well aware of the situation. I had to move from the apartment because I did not want another winter without proper heat. Even still, I made every effort to pay my bills while I was out of work and trying to find another place to live. Now because of this collections account on my credit I have not been able to rent another home.

My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am making this complaint against LJ Ross Associates , Inc. for committing identity theft. I have never given LJ Ross Associates XXXX Inc. any permission to use any of my identifying information to commit mail fraud by contacting me about an alleged debt they claim I owe. I am aware that in accordance with Article 9, the assignment of a defaulted note is illegal. Both the assignee and the assigned are both liable for violations under 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( XXXX ). I have never received any documentation requesting validation from LJ Ross Associates , Inc. before they committed multiple violations under the FCRA and the FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report including but not limited to 15 U.S. Code 1692d ( XXXX ) which the FTC defines as debt parking. If LJ Ross Associates , Inc. can not provide me with proof such as a tracking number that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, the consumer, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report, this has been a fraudulently furnished account with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. I am legally refusing to pay this debt pursuant to 1692c ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activity, any communication and collection activity, of this and any alleged debts until LJ Ross Associates , Inc. can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentary evidence can not be produced and LJ Ross Associates , Inc. continues its collection efforts, I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and LJ Ross Associates , Inc. will be held criminally liable for aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028A, extortion, theft by deception, securities fraud, and mail fraud. Upon the receipt of the documents herein and of this notice, you are hereby notified Pursuant UCC 1-202f. Your prompt attention and response are both requested and required.

I have recently received a letter from LJ Ross & Associates about a debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Michigan for a bill for my daughter, stating that I owe them for a medical bill that was unpaid. I had spoken with XXXX 's a couple different times prior to that to tell them that they submitted the claim wrong and they would need to resubmit it. I had another child last year and I met all of my out of pocket expenses with insurance so it should have been paid. Once I got this communication from LJ Ross, I called them in regards to it. They told me to contact XXXX 's about the dispute. The visit in question was an emergency visit for my older child. She was experiencing a significant number of XXXX XXXX, which we have sine had XXXX at XXXX 's to correct. The emergency room visit was coded as " XXXX XXXX ''. Insurance does not recognize this as an emergency and that was not the reason that we were there. We came because it was late and my daughter suffered from multiple, painful XXXX XXXX I talked to XXXX 's and they told me that any new disputes had to go through LJ Ross. I contact LJ Ross another day and they tell me that they can not do anything and that I have to speak to XXXX 's about this wrong diagnosis code. I call XXXX 's back and explain the situation on another day and the representative hangs up on me. This is not the first time that this has happened. It takes alot of time to call these places in the middle of the day, when they are open and you are working but you get nowhere. Between 2 hour insurance holds and the games that the hospitals/collection agencies play, you are between a rock and a hard place. The XXXX that happened in XXXX was fully paid for because I met everything with insurance once having my newest addition. This is absurd that i have to keep fighting with them about these things but they wo n't help or investigate. Then, this week, I find that they have now put this on my credit report and I am seeking to resolve this asap.

I owed XXXX medical bills in the amount of {$94.00} each for my XXXX sons in XX/XX/XXXX. My sons had medicaid at the time of service. The hospital submitted the bills to medicaid for billing. The hospital claims there was a billing error and they were billed incorrectly. I NEVER received notification of this nor did I receive notice when it was taken over by a debt collector. When I pulled my credit XX/XX/XXXX I saw they were now on my credit. I disputed them. They took it off of XXXX of my credit reports but not XXXX other. I called them directly, L.J. Ross and Associates, and they were absolutely rude. Told me too bad, if I had insurance that I would have to pay them myself now because I had over a year to take care of it. I contacted my caseworker at DHS and filed appeals to get it paid, I contacted Medicaid and filed a complaint to get it paid. Finally I called L.J. Ross personally and tried to pay it myself and they told me I could n't because I had disputed it. So now these bills are stuck on my credit and I can do NOTHING about it??? How is that fair? Also, I finally got a call from Medicaid and they indicated that, because it was a billing error, I AM NOT LIABLE FOR THESE DEBTS. I requested that in writing. I then faxed the letter to L.J. Ross and later called to follow up. The lady I talked to kept interrupting me and telling me she already knew what I wanted ...? Her name was XXXX and she was very rude and agressive. She told me that until the hospital told them it was paid they do n't have to take it off my credit whether I 'm liable or not. I asked her how this was legal and she told me it was because I had plenty of time to dipute it ... which I did and it solved nothing. My point is how can something I am not liable for be reported to my credit? How is the hospital 's error now my fault? Why does the collection agency, L.J. Ross and Associates, not have a duty to remove items that are reported incorrectly?

OnXX/XX/XXXX I, ( the " Consumer '' ), started to receive phone calls from an unknown number at inconvenient and unusual times for me. On XX/XX/2022 at XXXX EST I decided to call the number back after having received another phone call from the aforesaid unknown number without having my permission to contact me. On the aforementioned date and time, I spoke with a person unknown to me by the name of, XXXX XXXX, who claimed to represent L.J. Ross and Associates. I asked XXXX XXXX why L.J. Ross and Associates had been causing my phone to ring without my permission and XXXX XXXX responded by saying, that it was an attempt to collect a debt for XXXX XXXX in the upwards of XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) dollars which was a false and misleading representation of the character, amount and legal status of the debt XXXX XXXX claimed was owed. I informed XXXX XXXX that XXXX XXXX had not reached out to me regarding a debt owed and that I had not directly given L.J. Ross and Associates prior consent to communicate with me. XXXX XXXX transferred the call to XXXX XXXX, alleged supervisor for L.J. Ross and Associates. While speaking to XXXX XXXX, he engaged in unfair practices by attempting to continue to collect an amount that was not expressly authorized by any agreement creating the alleged debt or permitted by law. I kindly asked XXXX XXXX to send me a copy of the agreement between L.J. Ross and Associates that would permit the collection of the alleged debt as well as the license from the STATE OF MICHIGAN permitting L.J. Ross and Associates to collect debts for a third and XXXX XXXX refused. L.J. Ross and Associates have committed identity theft by using my personal or financial information without your permission. L.J. Ross and Associates have invaded the privacy of my family and I as Consumers, and violated the rights of the Consumer. L.J. Ross and Associates, are in violation of the following ; 15 U.S. Code 1692c, 1692d, 1692e and1692f.

I'm a resident of XXXX, NY- and a Notary. To hold the Public Office I must reside in NY, I've attached my Notary Certificate. Look at any bank statement or credit history and you can see everything happens in or around XXXX, NY. I called and said the debt was not mine. I'd like this removed from my credit score and there are already 2 investigations by XXXX and XXXX I've started, but this will take up to 30 days. I'd like this resolved faster because my rights have been violated. I never was given an opportunity to dispute the debt before sending to collections, even though I contacted the Company. This also ruined my perfect credit score with 100 % payments on-time for 20+ years. The collection agency never contacted me ( L.J. Ross ), I contacted them after they hit my credit score by over 40 points without verifying the debt, and even admitted they made a mistake when I spoke to a manager. They said they called me 4 times after I left them a voice mail and instructed them to call my cell phone number. The manager I called on XX/XX/23 admitted the notices were mailed to the wrong address, and the calls were made to the wrong number even though I provided the correct number in my voice mail. He admitted the fraudulent number was contact area code XXXX XXXX XXXX even though I said to call my number area code XXXX XXXX XXXX He ever said he would talk to the employee about this issue and reprimand them. Proof again I never was given an opportunity to validate the debt- the Manager admitted things were not done right and I was a victim. He also said he could tell this was fraud but could not do anything without XXXX 's permission. I'd like to share this as negligence and violations of the fair credit/report act. Also the people I talked to before management at L.J. Ross were very rude and I'd like an apology from that Company, the Manager/Supervisor at L.J. Ross was very arrogant XXXX was negligent in multiple ways.

States I have the right to privacy. 15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. 15 U.S.C 1681c. ( a ) ( 5 ) Section States : no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information, Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven ( 7 ) years. 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. All the information listed on my consumer report was added through identity theft. 15 USC 1681B clearly states the consumer must provide written consent for anything added to their consumer report. Which means they obtained all information through identity theft because I did not give my consent. That is also a violation of 18 USC 1028A aggravated identity theft and The Privacy Act of 1974, seeing as they shared my Social Security Number. According to 15 USC 1681C-2 the consumer reporting agencies have 4 Business days to block information resulting from alleged identity theft. It has been more than 4 days since they opened their investigation and no action has been taken.

LJ Ross Associates, Inc. contacted me regarding XXXX XXXX debt collection. Since XXXX XXXX I have agreed to pay in monthly installments for the account XXXX, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , an apartment I had to leave due to non livable conditions and landlord neglect. I have since been making on time payments of {$110.00}, and completed 2 of the 5 payments. They told me they would be reporting back to the credit bureau positively that I am paying this debt as I make these payments. On my interaction for attempts to make the third payment, today XX/XX/XXXX after calling several times during the week at a different number provided initially without response, I was told I would need to pay the full remaining balance, or they will report negatively to the credit bureau, affecting my credit score. This is not what I was told, or lead to believe initially upon agreeing to do the monthly installments upon consumer good faith, and futhermore I am being essentially blackmailed/ strong armed into paying a full bill I can not afford to pay or they will report to the credit bureau . This is also during a time of lockdown, pandemic economic crisis, where state and federal government along with cooperation from NY XXXX has allowed for individuals to not have to pay their bill, or be threatened for negative recourse if by negative credit reporting or fees, if they can not afford to pay it from lack of work due to the current crisis. I am currently on unemployment, and working hard to find new work and LJ Ross is pushing me into economic hardships I can not afford to pay safely, while using reporting to the credit bureau negatively as undue and pandemic profiteering leverage. I need immediately for them to not be allowed to report to the credit bureau, and for the debt payment obligations to be put on hold as long as the original merchant XXXX XXXX is offering relief due to hardships during the lockdown.

I have never received any correspondence from XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that they owned this debt nor their intent to pursue collection & report erroneously to my credit bureaus. I have tried disputing and getting this issue resolved with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for some time & see they have had action & lawsuits taken against them for using deceptive tactics to collect bad debts. I have requested documentation to include a signed agreement & proof that XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX owns the debt ( along with copies of anyone else who has owned this erroneous debt ). Upon contacting the said original creditor, they acknowledge they do not have any knowledge of this account. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX refuses to comply and has constantly changed the dates on my credit file, I believe in an attempt to make this a valid debt. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is in willful non-compliance with the FCRA. With identity theft, data and security breaches on the rise I am sure XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX understands the importance of properly investigating my concern. Most recently when I tried disputing this debt I expressed the great financial and credit burden on my family as we were recovering from medical issues. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX even ignored those facts and continued to ensue the damaging affect on my family. I will continue to document my efforts to get this issue resolved. If this is not resolved I intend to pursue litigation & seek monetary damages. I am confident I will prevail and will not be interested in settling after legal expenses are paid. I believe it will be in XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX ' and my best interest to resolve this issue prior to litigation to avoid unnecessary out of pocket expenses.

On XX/XX/XXXX my daughter, XXXX, who was. a XXXX at the time, received a notice from LJ Ross & Associates for a medical bill. I contacted them to correct the information and put me, her parent, as the guarantor and was provided the details of the expense. There should not be any collection account on her credit report as the debt is not owed by her. I agreed to pay the bill to them and provided my debit card information. They were to take three payments, one per month, of {$72.00} starting on XX/XX/XXXX. They deducted payments and I assumed this was resolved. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from LJ Ross & associates. They spoke to my daughter and told her that since she is the patient she owes the money but they could not confirm what or when the services were rendered ; only that she owes it because she is the patient. That is incorrect. I contacted the provider who was unable to locate any record of her or me with a balance due. Upon further investigation I was able to find my own documentation regarding this arrangement. LJ Ross & Associates was made aware nearly two years ago and confirmed that this debt is not owed by my daughter. They agreed to a payment plan with my banking information to take monthly payments. and corrected the error to ensure that the debt is in my name. Today this call came to my daughter with an emphatic agent insisting that my daughter owes the money but could not explain what it was for or when. Further when she was told that the patient, my daughter, is not the guarantor, she stated that she owes the money because she is the patient. That is false. Lastly, no letter or phone call indicating that there is anything outstanding owed. She stated that a letter was sent in XXXX of XXXX to the address on the account which had forwarding and neither of us resided in for over a year.

Since XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX has been trying to say, that this debt was mine. It is not. I only found out about the debt after it appeared on my credit bureau. Because it never belonged to me, it never came to my address. In or around XXXX, I started seeing this collection from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I despites it with XXXX XXXX, and it was resolved. Then 6 months later, they sent it to another collection company. And they reported it to XXXX. I disputed it, and there it was also resolved and removed. Then another collection agency got the file and XXXX reported it. I again disputed it and was successful. Then again another credit agency reported it and XXXX once again adds it again to my credit file. After they already took it off a few months prior. I am repeatedly disputing the same charge from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Now XXXX says the collection company certified their collection. This cant be possible, as I have never lived at the address of this dispute. I have never even lived in the city. This is not my debt. I moved in with my boyfriend in XX/XX/XXXX. After I rented my home in XXXX. I have not had electric service since I moved. XXXX XXXX XXXX transferred the service to the renter, and closed my account and returned my deposit and I do have a receipt showing it was paid in full. I sent that to XXXX and have had no problems with them regarding this issue. There is no way they can certify this debt is mine, because I know I moved from my XXXX house to my XXXX house. I bought the house in XX/XX/XXXX and I rented my XXXX house in XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX, was the last time I had electric service in my name. This has already been disputed and resolved numerous times and I should not have to repeatedly dispute the same collection just because they moved to a different collection agency.

My name is XXXX XXXX and I have an issue with LJ Ross Associates, XXXX collecting, buying, and selling my private information. They have been placed on my consumer report which lets me know that they have bought AND obtained my personal and private information without my written consent pursuant to 15 USC 1692c ( b ). No consent is identity theft which is in fact punishable by law pursuant to 18 USC 1028A. This also falls under extortion. Title 18 section 891 ( 6 ) of the United States Code clearly states that " An extortionate extension of credit is any extension of credit with respect to which it is the understanding of the creditor and the debtor at the time it is made that delay in making repayment or failure to make repayment could result in the use of violence or other criminal means to cause harm to the person, reputation, or property of any person. '' Obviously my CREDIT card, which is my social security card pursuant to 15 USC 1602 ( l ), was used and shared in this process. An extortionate means is ANY means which involves the use, or an express or implicit threat of use, of violence or other criminal means to cause harm to the person, REPUTATION, or property of any person. If I am not mistaken, my consumer report is apart of my reputation. So LJ Ross Associates are taking and using my private information and I did not authorize anything! Pursuant to 18 USC 1028, ANYONE who possesses, transfers, traffics, uses, or produces, without LAWFUL authority, any identification document shall be punished. Federal law also states that whoever knowingly participates in ANY way in the use of ANY extortionate means shall be fined and/or imprisoned not more than 20 years. These are public federal laws and there is no excuse for any debt collector to not know and understand them.

I received a call from LJ Ross Associates ( https : //www.ljross.com/ ) on XX/XX/20. The very rude individual claimed that I owed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$68.00}. I had lived in the greater XXXX XXXX area 2 years ago. They correctly stated my street address from that residence. Due to the aggressive nature of the call and my knowledge that I did not owe XXXX XXXX XXXX anything, I ended the call. I then called XXXX XXXX XXXX, who researched my past account and verified that I had paid all balances and closed the account properly. They also verified that they had not enlisted a collections agency as I had no debt with them. I called LJ Ross Associates the next day ( XX/XX/20 ). The same person answered the phone ( a very young-sounding female ). She was able to identify my account from my phone number, but incorrectly gave my address as the title company in XXXX, CA that handled my home sale. She then correctly stated my prior home address ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA ). I informed her about my conversation with XXXX XXXX XXXX. She told me that was not true, and that they had been retained by XXXX XXXX XXXX Accounts Payable, and that I should call them and talk to a Supervisor. I informed her I had spoked to a Supervisor, and again informed her what they had said. She said that they had all my info, including my social security number, and that if I did not pay they would escalate collection procedures. I asked what State they operated in, as I was going to call law enforcement. She said " Good luck with that '' and hung up. I am very concerned that this entity has my information. Please direct me how I can file a claim against this company.

Over the past 14 months I've disputed a incorrect amount of a collection, via credit bureaus all of which results cone back " vaild debt or amount ''. Today with acknowledgment, I recorded the calls w/ LJ Ross collection agency , after XXXX and XXXX both supervisors told me that if I was disputed the amout of debt, the information would need to be confirmed through original creditor. XXXX, when asked how were LJ Ross to render a decision to credit bureaus over the past 13 months, WITHOUT verifying data..no answer was given. Upon calling XXXX and speaking w/XXXX he informed me that XXXX no longer report to credit bureaus effective 2018, futhermore my account is listed as CLOSED, all and any information MUST come from LJ Ross. If LJ Ross is telling you they must call us to get information regarding your account to send you is INCORRECT ... XXXX went on to read XXXX protocol in how they do not handle, deal or report to credit bureaus and went on to read that all consumers are referred back to the collection agency. When called back to inform XXXX another supervisor about information I just received, he asked that's not true ... and asked " so how much do you think you owe ''?, " we just need to get you a summary of your accont '',. When pushed him as to how this information was NOT already available, considering I made ANOTHER request XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX became defensive stating, I was being threatening '' ... .I called back to XXXX to express my findings, and they opened another dispute and recommended that I file a complaint with CFPB, due to all the inconsistency.

In XX/XX/XXXX LJ Ross Associates began contacting me about a debt that they claimed that I owed to them. During the initial phone call, which is recorded by the company, I disputed their claim informing them that I have no connection to or ever received any service from LJ Ross Associates. In XX/XX/XXXX I received a copy of my credit report and found that LJ Ross Associates is reporting an unverified debt. I have disputed this four times with all three credit bureaus and twice with LJ Ross Associates directly. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a certified return receipt letter requesting that they validate this debt they are attempting to collect within 30 days. They received the letter on XX/XX/XXXX and refused to respond yet continued to update their negative reporting on my credit reports every month following the receipt of the letter. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a follow up letter requesting that they remedy the situation and they responded by sending me an account analysis from a utility company which does not validate that I owe a debt to LJ Ross Associates. LJ Ross Associates has failed to provide me with any documentation bearing my signature showing that I have a contractual obligation to pay LJ Ross Associates for the debt that they are reporting on my credit reports. I have never entered into a one month termed contractual agreement with LJ Ross Associates. However they are reporting these inaccuracies on my credit report in addition to a seriously past due negative payment history. I request that this entry be removed from all of my credit reports immediately.

I received a letter from a collection agency for a XXXX bill in regards to an old account. I went ahead and paid the bill in the amount of {$570.00} for account number XXXX. A week later I get a letter form another collection agency I know owe {$200.00}. I called the debt collection company and told them a bill for XXXX was just paid and they said they would close the account out. This was back in XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX sent me an alert stating there was a new collection on my credit. I called LJ Ross the new collection company and told them the same info I told the last company. They in return told me that verified the debt and suggested I call XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX and spoke to a customer service rep and he told me something did n't look right. He stated there was a account opened on XX/XX/XXXX and closed on XX/XX/XXXX. He then stated there was a new account with the same address opened on XX/XX/XXXX and closed on XX/XX/XXXX and said it did n't make sense. He then gave me the number of the department who handles closed accounts. The lady on the phone at that point would n't let me speak two words before interrupting me and saying you owe it and the last person had no idea what they were talking about. I kept asking can you please explain the XXXX account that was activated the same day the last account was turned off at the same address. She would n't. I then asked to speak to a manager and she stated one would call me back by the end of the day. As of XXXX EST I have yet to receive a call. The XXXX account numbers are : XXXX XXXX

A XXXX residential utility account # XXXX was fraudulently opened in my name some time around XXXX. I dd not sign up for this account, have never paid on this account, and was unaware of this account. I received a bill at my home address in New Jersey dated XX/XX/21 from XXXX stating I owed {$480.00}. Repeated attempts to resolve the issue with XXXX were unsuccessful ; REF # XXXX. I was given a supervisors number to assist me in resolving the issue as they confirmed they could not verify the account was opened by me not have I even paid on the account and I live in a state where XXXX does not operate. I was given a Supervisors phone number XXXX. The call was never returned and the matter was sold to a collections agency LJ Ross XXXX Acct # XXXX. LJ Ross informed me they would hold off on submitting the debt as in collections status until they could investigate the identity fraud claims made ads I was bale to provide evidence that the debt was not mine. Despite providing all requested information and sending a letter asking for verifiable documents substantiating the account as outlined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This account is now reported as collections status on my credit reports and is having an adverse affect on my credit score. Up to this point I have had an excellent credit rating. I have made every effort possible to substantiate that this is a clear and obvious example of identity theft. I need assistance to resolve this matter and have this removed form my credit rdeports.

On XX/XX/XXXX a balance of {$890.00} from my previous place of residence was transferred to my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX at my new place of residence. After this balance was transferred to my account my utility service was suspended and I was left without power. Upon contacting the Power company ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) I was informed that my power service could not be restored until I paid a portion of the balance. On XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment of {$700.00} to XXXX in turn restoring my electric service. The remaining balance was paid off through the following billing cycles. On XX/XX/XXXX L J Ross Associates Reported to my Credit Report that I had a debt in collections in the amount of {$890.00} with the original creditor listed as XXXX XXXX XXXX. As described above, the balance was paid in order to restore utility service and is no longer owed. On XX/XX/XXXX I filed a formal dispute through XXXX providing this same information, and on XX/XX/XXXX I received the results of this dispute and the information was still incorrect. Upon receiving this information, I immediately called XXXX directly and submitted another dispute over the phone on XX/XX/XXXX. Once again on XX/XX/XXXX the dispute results were returned and L J Ross Associates again failed to properly update the Information as the status column stated " unpaid '' the balance amount column stated " {$890.00} '' and the date of last payment column remains blank. This debt does not exist and must be removed from my credit report immediately.

LJ Ross send a notice on XX/XX/2022 that does not comply with 12 CFR 1006.34 The notice does not include the account number provided by the creditor the purpose of which is to permit the accused debtor to identify the debt per 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 2 ) ( iv ). Instead it only includes the optional reference code permitted by 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) ( 3 ) ( ii ). The notice does not include the name of the creditor per 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 2 ) ( v ). Instead, the notice provides a name that is not a legal entity under Michigan law. For example, while the notice references " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' there is no corresponding amount due on the purported creditor 's accounts with XXXX XXXX so the actual creditor must be a different entity than XXXX XXXX proper. From the provided information, the purported debtor is unable to identify who the creditor is or any account number to reference in order to attempt to correlate the notice with a statement or creditor. The undersigned has been in contact with XXXX XXXX proper for over six months regarding insurance billing errors on the part of XXXX XXXX which have still not been resolved and have been provided representations that until resolved accounts would not be sent to collections. The creditor would provide partial payment for amounts not in dispute, however XXXX XXXX will not allocate payments to certain designated invoices and for that reason the creditor is unable to pay because payments may be applied to disputed amounts.

In XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to XXXX to notify them concerns of about my meter being hacked and used as a shared meter. My utility bill was consistently 400 % higher than the average for the area. I reached out to XXXX to make them aware of the issue and asked them to look into the matter as shared meters in XXXX are illegal and I can not be held liable for the charges. XXXX never got back to me and I ended up moving out of the apartment and ending my service with XXXX. From XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX I was not in my unit AT ALL, yet received a utility bill for over {$700.00} during that time frame. I have evidence of not being in XXXX during that timeframe. In XX/XX/XXXX, LJ Ross Associates attempted to collect the debt from me via phone calls and letters. On XX/XX/XXXX I disputed my debt with LJ Ross Associates via a written letter sent with USPS secured mail. I never heard back from them on the matter. I provided documentation as to why I do not believe I owe the debt. They never called me about it again. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a major derogatory mark on my credit report from them for the same matter. I have not received 1 phone call or written letter from them since XXXX, over 2 years ago. They hit my credit report without contacting me at all. They have also not validated the debt. I provided email correspondence with XXXX, the debt holder, on why I do not think I am responsible for the charges. No one from XXXX or LJ Ross has reached out to me.

I was a utility customer with XXXX XXXX XXXX in Pennsylvania. XXXX contracts with LJ Ross for asset management and collection. I was referred to LJ Ross for an amount owed when changing addresses, without notice and/or the chance to dispute the amount. Amount was never verified before showing on my credit report. XXXX as original creditor would not communicate with me, so I was forced to negotiate with LJ Ross to settle for removal of the account for an amount. I paid the settlement amount, but the account was not removed, only updated to a paid, open account and re-aged. I recently discovered that LJ Ross never communicated to XXXX the settlement amount and was recently contacted by XXXX this fall that I owed a balance on the unpaid disputed amount. I contacted XXXX to inquire about the account and for verification, and they told me they would investigate. I received a second letter informing them that I owed an additional balance from my prior address that would be tacked on to my current address bill, and when I contacted them to ask about the result of the investigation, they told me to contact LJ ROSS for proof of settlement. I contacted LJ ROSS whom mailed me the proof of settlement in full, but not the date of the agreement or the information related to terms of settlement that involved deletion of the incorrect account from credit reports.

I tried to contact the original creditor and they stated they dont have any information, that I had to deal with LJ Ross . That all being said, I have XXXX LJ Ross directly, a handful of times. The most recent call was today XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with a representative and they were very rude and said they dont have any information or history or agreement with my signature that they can send me to prove what they are trying to collect. She said she was not going to argue with me that I owe the alleged debt and I asked for a supervisor. The supervisor was even more rude, basically stated that she isn't going to go back and forth, and she stated that the balanced is owed and they are not sending me any information and she hung up on me. They are violating FCRA and FDCPA laws and if they are reporting an alleged debt on my credit report and they cant provide any proof that I owe this debt, it needs to be removed and all collections need to cease. Ive attached my letter I sent them as well as the response they sent me,

I recently contacted XXXX 's Special Handling Department to inquire about a collection account that's being reported on my credit profile. I am not responsible for this account, have no knowledge, and have never had an account with that creditor at that address. I asked if the reporting creditor had provided proof of ownership for this disputed account. Surprisingly, I was informed that XXXX does not typically request validation documentation. Instead, they rely solely on a response from the creditor, deeming it valid. I then raised a crucial question : How does this process guarantee the accuracy of the reported account information? In response, I was informed about their operational procedures and advised that if I wished to challenge the accuracy, I would need to request this information directly from the creditor. Otherwise, XXXX would continue reporting inaccurate information. I emphasized that I had already raised this issue with the creditor through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). In response, L.J. Ross Associates Company stated that the complaint did not belong to them. They mentioned the possibility of reopening the request but cautioned that if the creditor responds again with validation, XXXX will continue to report what the creditor wishes. This would leave me with no recourse but to file another complaint.

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, XXXX XXXX, writing to clarify that this debt in dispute, may be illegal in his collection process. According to FDCPA ( Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ) 809. Validation of debts ( a ) Notice of debt ; contents ( b ) Disputed debts, firstly, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt so If the company does not provide verification within 30 days, the FDCPA prohibits them from continuing to contact you or reporting the debt. And the company didnt provide itemized bill statement as I requested. But they suddenly report to credit bureaus after one year of the initial communication. I doubt the amount is not correct. The company did n't provide itemized bill to validate this amount, but they still report to all the 3 credit bureaus. Secondly, the company fails to provide the validation response in 30 days, but they continue their collection activities suddenly after one year. Thirdly, in the coming notice letter, they did n't mark the steps how to dispute and legal rights that I can dispute. I was only told I owe the money, and they assume it is valid. Therefore, I think this collection report is illegal. Please help me how to appeal to this collection case?

I am writing to file a formal complaint against L J Ross Associates Inc., located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, regarding a utilities collection account that I believe has been erroneously reported under my name. This complaint is filed due to the significant financial hardship and distress this situation has caused, including the denial of housing opportunities. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX [ Partial for security purposes ] Company : L J Ross Associates Inc . Incident Description : I have recently become aware of a collection entry on my credit report from L J Ross Associates Inc. for a utilities debt. I dispute the validity of this debt and contend that this collection is either a mistake or a case of mistaken identity. The presence of this collection on my credit report has severely impacted my financial standing, leading to the denial of housing applications, which has in turn caused me considerable distress and hardship. Actions Taken : I have attempted to resolve this issue directly with L J Ross Associates Inc. but have not received a satisfactory response or resolution. I have not received any prior communication regarding this alleged debt before notifying it on my credit report.

My one and only encounter with LJ Ross Associates : On XX/XX/XXXX my credit score suddenly dropped 150 points from XXXX to XXXX. Research showed this was due to a collection report filed by LJ Ross. Upon calling LJ Ross, it proved difficult to obtain information on the fraudulent report. After being transferred to a supervisor who only identified himself as " XXXX '' I discovered the alleged creditor was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX to inquire about the problem and they told me there was a charge to my account over 4 years past the point I had sold the property and asked them to cancel the account. XXXX said they would correct the clerical error and show my account closed in XX/XX/XXXX, thus invalidating the XX/XX/XXXX charge. The issue here is LJ Ross ' tactics to contact me. In lieu of sending a letter or making a phone call, they elected to obtain my immediate and undivided attention by reporting the fraudulent collection to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. Perhaps legal, but this action is highly unethical. Their utility company clients engage their services under the presumption of adding some value to the process. What 's the value of libeling a former customer who has paid XXXX over {$50000.00} in the course of 24 years?

XX/XX/2022 I received a debt collection notice from L J Ross XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MI XXXX This was for {$100.00} owed as of XX/XX/2022 on my rental property in Maryland. this was close out on transfer to the tenant. I had not previously received a bill. My account was current as of XXXX XXXX. I went online to my account and verified that I was set for ebill. My bank is XXXX. The ebill never showed up or it would have been paid. No paper bill that I recall or can find. I paid the bill directly on line to XXXX XXXX ( first energy ) then called the debt collection agency. " XXXX '' at LJ ross stated that XXXX XXXX now gives all their final bills to them apparently with out actually making any attempt to actually collect them as usual before hand. We wonder if this is a scam as PE was hacked last fall. We wish to know why our credit score which is excellent should be subjected to t his attack with out any notice what so ever. I thought one had to have two notices before things were sent to collections. I emailed XXXX XXXX and attempted to call them but did not have the patience to wait 30 to 45 minutes to talk to a human being. Be wary of this company 's billing practices and the potential for scams with stolen information.

There's an invalid and unverified debt collection account on my credit report. I've made several attempts for verification such as original statements and a contract with my signature, the nature of the account, etc. I also requested a copy of their license to collect in the state of Michigan.

Please provide the following : Agreement with your client that grants you the authority to collect on this alleged debt. Agreement that bears the signature of the alleged debtor wherein he/she agreed to pay the creditor. Any insurance claims been made by any creditor regarding this account. Any Judgments obtained by any creditor regarding this account. Name and address of alleged creditor. Name on file of alleged debtor. Alleged account number. Address on file for alleged debtor.

As of 2009 after seeking to obtain my credit reports to apply for a large purchase in the near future discovered several credit cards and other accounts opened without my consent filed for a investigation in regard to identity theft. After 4 years of failed attempts with XXXX credit bureaus I obtained assistance from the organization clarifi, along with filing a identity theft victims complaint & affidavit with the FTC. After further investigation & verification of the documentation supporting my claim the XXXX credit bureaus finally corrected the issue by deleting all the accounts opened without my consent. However I was XXXX for nearly 5 years unable to obtain employment and ineligible to buy a house or car and to this day still have several problems due to the credit bureaus negligence. They continue to place inaccurate incorrect and negative data on my credit profile. After sending several requests and getting no response or the inappropriate response am now seeking legal action to file suit for the violations in accordance with the FCRA ruling & guidelines. I am currently XXXX and XXXX by these practice 's which prevent me from gainful employment, purchasing real estate and buying a vehicle.

Relocated to another state and received the final bill of {$400.00} on XXXX that would fall due on XX/XX/XXXX. Paid the entire bill on XX/XX/XXXX, but the balance was sent to LJ Ross Associates for collection on XX/XX/XXXX although the bill was paid on XX/XX/XXXX. A representative told us we had 60 days to make the final payment before it would even be sent to a collection agency, so we paid it before the 60 days past due mark. The collection agency and XXXX ( XXXX ) have been going back and forth about this since XXXX, and since then, the collection agency has now put this balance on my credit report, and it is being reported to all 3 reporting agencies although this was paid on XX/XX/XXXX, and it should never have gone to a LJ Ross Associates. LJ Ross Associates has constantly received information from XXXX stating we owe the {$400.00}, but when we call XXXX, they state we paid it on XX/XX/XXXX and it should have never gone to an outside collection agency, and they say they have been sending information to LJ Ross Associates showing that we paid the balance on XX/XX/XXXX. This is frustrating and all the while, it has caused my credit score to dip over 20 points. Please help!

on or about XX/XX/2023, I reviewed my consumer credit reports XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX and noticed collections on all three from a third-party collections agency so I decided to send them a debt validation letter requesting information on the so-called debt I requested the following. an original contract with a wet signature from the original creditor with wet signature. the name address and and phone number of the original creditor. an itemized payment history associated with the account as to determine what is owed and/or that may be contested. proof of ownership of this debt and or whether they are even allowed to collect on this debt per law. I informed them they had 30 days to produce my request and or cease collection attempts and/or remove this from my consumer credit reports. during my 30-day wait, I discovered that this company via the NMLS that this company is not even licensed to do collections in the state of Iowa, whereas i am more than sure that the company has claimed numerous payments. I mailed this letter on XX/XX/2023 it has been about 50 days and I have yet to hear back from the company and those items are still on all three consumer reports.

As of today XX/XX/XXXX, L J Ross & Associates have violated my rights in multiple ways. On XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed out Certified Mail with signature request a debt validation letter and LJ Ross & associates received and signed for my debt validation letter on XX/XX/XXXX. LJ Ross & Associate decided to report a debt on my credit report before giving me any type of communication ( dunning letter ). LJ Ross failed to send me a dunning letter previously before reporting this alleged debt on to my credit report, which I was never given me a chance to validate or dispute the alleged debt. L J Ross also ignored my written request for validation once I was made aware of the alleged debt with requested documents & L J Ross continued to try and collect by continuing to report and update the debt on my credit report. This has caused me damages. Since L J Ross has yet to validate this alleged debt, I am requesting that it is deleted off every credit agency ( ex : XXXX XXXX XXXX ) that they are reporting to. 12 CFR 1006.30 ( a ) 15 USC 1681n : Civil liability for willful noncompliance 1681n.

A phone call was placed to L J Ross and Associates IN. on XX/XX/XXXX regarding a letter i received stating i had an outstanding debt with XXXX XXXX, they stated they could not tell me what the debot was for and i need to call the Bank. I then called the bank and they explained they do not have the records of my debt due to the age of the debt and i would have to order them from the collection agency if i am distributing. I thna call the agency back and spoke With XXXX whos assigned to the file, I explained I am disputing the debt and officially requested the transcripts showing the valifty of the debt. at that time the pursuit of the debt should have stopped until i received the documents requested, XX/XX/XXXX i received a notification from my credit monitoring app stating they had reported my debt to the XXXX prior to my receiving the documents which is a violation of the FDCPA, I spoke with XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and explained i have not received the docs, she explained they "sent them out at the end of last month" which was two days ago, this has since lowered my credit score 17 points prior to me receiving the documents, I have both conversations recorded

I received several calls from XXXX at the end of XXXX . I answered several times and there was silence or a hang-up. In late XXXX they called again. I answered and the party identified themselves as being from LJ Ross a debt collection firm. They asked me to identify myself which I did and they proceeded to tell me that there was a bill owing XXXX ( XXXX ) from a house I had sold in PA for approxiametely XXXX . I told them I was never notified about any owing amount and said I would call XXXX to verify. At no time did I receive any form of written communication either from XXXX or LJ Ross . To my knowledge all bills were paid at closing of house sale. I called XXXX and indeed verified the debt and that LJ Ross was their collection agency. I then called LJ Ross and immediately paid the bill but they had reported it to credit bureau. I never received anything in writing to notify me of their legitimacy or the debts legitimacy or dispute it. They had my current address on file and XXXX had my email address on file. Totally inappropriate action on their part and quite disturbing. Not to mention inappropriate reporting to credit bureau.

On Mon, XX/XX/2019, XXXX called me at XXXX XXXX they did not leave a message. Upon leaving work for the day I decided to call the number back in case it was business. It was a company collecting debt, who did not inform me who they were unless I identified myself, XXXX said she can't tell me who they are and its just a debt! I couldn't get any information but it was a debt, then she hurriedly said LJRoss, unless i verified my DOB I couldn't know anything else., I did and she then proceeded to say that I owed XXXX {$360.00} and how was I paying? I said I wasn't and that I needed some form of letter from XXXX to say I owe you. This is the second time ( this year ) someone has referenced this account without saying I had a right to dispute or even allowed to clear it with XXXX. So they have an account and asking for someone who NEVER has let me know a third party has the account, nor has the responding debt collector acted on me asking for verification to the debt by letter. This LJRoss has not sent me any information in the times I have told them to do so. I cant give you an account number or anything as I do not have anything related to this company.

I filed a complaint and it wasn't investigated before it was closed. I had no contract with Ross Associates! I made an agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for utility service not Ross. Ross has no paperwork but insistent that I owed the bill that was reported to my credit 6 months after final bill that I never received. I asked for a copy of XX/XX/XXXX bills or a copy of the final bill. They responded saying I owed without proof and said they wanted me to prove I paid the bill. So I put in the complaint for XXXX XXXX XXXX and Ya 'll couldn't contact them, the original debtors. How can the claim be closed without proof that I owe anything. It took them 6 months after the service ended not giving me a chance to dispute or challenge the bill. I found out 3 years later and never received a bill. Why don't they have to produce proof of me owing the bill especially since they're 3rd party. I was in XXXX when they reported the bill and that's why my services were turned off. I'm in XXXX and have no way of accessing this information and shouldn't have to. The burden of proof should be on them. Not close the case because they said I owed the money.

My XXXX of over 30 years was contacted and four voice messages was left with her. His name is XXXX XXXX. She told them to stop calling her and they told her to give us his number or we will keep contacting you. I then contacted the company on XX/XX/XXXX and told them to stop contacting my XXXX XXXX or any other relatives of mine they may have contact info on. I also told them that I wanted a complete total validation of debt with all contract documents pertaining to this debt. i also asked them was was the date of the last action on this account and they told me XX/XX/XXXX. I asked them if the debt is time barred in regards to the statue of limitations and the person told me " I just told you XXXX and the statue of limitations is 6 years ''. I then request again for a full debt validation and he told me to send in written request for it. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent that via XXXX certified mail and it was signed for by someone in the organization on XX/XX/XXXX. To this date over a month a half later I have not heard from them in regards to my debt validation request. I want this removed from my credit report as it is harming me financially.

I would like to investigate the accounts listed below that the validity of the accounts are correct as well as providing documents with my signature and date and dates of service, that prove the debt is mine. As it states above, if you can not provide these documents to prove the debts are mine, I request that these accounts be removed as well as from the credit bureau in the allotted time. LJ Ross Associates have not been able to validate these accounts with the documents I had asked for in the allotted time. I know LJ Ross Associates have received my letters of validation as I have sent the letters as certified mail starting on XX/XX/2022. The amounts are {$10.00}, {$180.00}, {$1000.00} This company has over 100 complaints just for debt with the CFPB. How can this company be trusted? This company has also sent medical information that they should not have access to that violates my right to privacy and has violated HIPPA. This needs to be STOPPED!

I did not find a category that accurately matches my complaint. I discovered today that there is a collection on my credit report for XXXX dollars from LJ Ross associates, account number XXXX. I never received any letters, notices or phone calls about this matter until I saw it on the collection report. It turns out it is an electricity bill for a property I don't even own anymore. I paid this debt immediately, without even knowing if it is my debt or not ( as mentioned, I received no documents whatsoever ). I was told by the representative that they will put in a request for removal from my credit report, however I have not received so far any document confirming that. I was also informed that it may take up to 30 days for the information to come off my credit report. This significantly affects me since I am in the process of buying a home. I think this collection agency failed to do their job appropriately by not providing me with any notice whatsoever prior to reporting this debt to the credit bureau. Had they done that this matter would have been resolve a long time ago, I didn't even know this debt existed.

On XXXX XXXX I contacted the CFPB in regards to a complaint # XXXX that was submitted in XX/XX/XXXX.

I called the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I was not successful answering the security questions accurately in regards to the Derogatory Marks and /or Collections on myXX/XX/XXXXReport and the agent continued to coach me by phone to register on line. Once I set up the online account for the CFPB I viewed the collection account For XX/XX/XXXX and I found LJ Ross # XXXX for {$150.00} that was paid and closed on XX/XX/XXXX. I had no knowledge that the account was there because I was told once the account was paid in XXXX it would not affect my credit at all, it would be closed out. I contact LJ ROSS and XXXX said it will not be removed. I do not think it is fair to have {$150.00} Lingering on my credit report after I was told it would be closed years ago and no reported. On XX/XX/XXXX I also paid {$30.00} to close out any debts in there office. Please remove all debts that were previous paid.

I contacted LJ Ross Associates on XX/XX/18 at XXXX to inquire about when they would stop reporting on my credit report for a debt profile in the amount of {$1100.00} that was RETRACTED from their company by the original creditor XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/18. They told me that even though XXXX XXXX now has the debt and Im paying XXXX XXXX directly they will still report on my credit report because they can. LJ Ross Associates is actively reporting on a debt that is no longer under their ownership/management and they are double reporting. That makes TWO FCRA violations they are actively participating in. This is an act of malice on their behalf. I spoke directly to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/18 at XXXX after speaking to the representative at LJ Ross Associates , and XXXX XXXX confirmed for me that they contacted LJ Ross Associates and retracted my debt profile from them. It has been 30 days and LJ Ross is still refusing to delete their entry from my credit report. They have received proper notification and had ample time to do what is lawfully required of them and they have refused!!!!!!!!!!

I have a discrepancy on all three of my credit reports ( XXXX XXXX and XXXX ). Their is an account that is listed on all three of my credit reports from LJ Ross and Associates. I had no knowledge of this collection until I needed to put a utility ( electricity ) in my name at my residence. Due to the fact that I needed the electricity on, I did not dispute, verify or validate this collection. The one thing that I did address with LJ Ross is that this collection would be removed from my XXXX XXXX and XXXX credit reports after it was paid in full. This collection was paid in full for {$300.00} in XX/XX/XXXX. I truly thought that LJ Ross and Associates would complete their end of the agreement as I completed my end of the agreement by paying {$300.00} in XX/XX/XXXX. Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX, while going over my credit reports LJ Ross and Associates DID NOT uphold their end of the agreement in deleting this collection from XXXX XXXX and XXXX This collection was instead marked PAID, CLOSED as of XX/XX/XXXX, not DELETED per the agreement between LJ Ross Associates and I.

LJ Ross and Associates called me repeatedly over a several month period beginning around XX/XX/XXXX. They called demanding payment for a utilities bill in an apartment I rented in XX/XX/XXXX. Calls from them included robotic calls attempting to obtain my Social Security Number, and collections agents attempting to collect the debt and warning me vaguely about the consequences ( never specified ) if I failed to pay. After Finally paying the amount, giving them my credit card information on XX/XX/XXXX I became curious and reviewed my utilities payment to the company they claimed to be representing ( XXXX XXXX ). All bills had been paid on time, and the month they claimed to be collecting for never had a delinquent payment. Furthermore, they requested around {$87.00}, when the bill amount was {$140.00}. Further research online revealed multiple instances of the company refusing to settle issues such as this, and putting collections tags on credit reports even after the debt was proven to be non-existent.

So it is quite clear that this debt does not in any shape, form or fashion belong to me. -an evident inaccuracy you will see in the attachment below regarding this account is the fact that its only reporting to two out of the three credit bureaus. -Another clearly noticeable inaccuracy is the fact that both bureaus have two different dates on which this account " Last Reported '' ( XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023 ) -.and last but not least two different dates on which the " Date Last Active '' is listed ( XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023 )

LJ ROSS ASSOCIATES XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Michigan XXXX Back in XXXX of XXXX, the above collection agency threatened to place a collection on my credit report if I didn't pay XXXX left from an original debt of XXXX from XXXX. I thought the debt was paid in full with the security deposit put down on the XXXX account 5yrs prior. When the rep from LJ Ross informed me that there was still a balance, I was annoyed for getting a call for such a petty amount but paid the debt immediately. LJ Ross still placed a collection on my XXXX credit report a week later, reporting the debt after it was paid. I called to inquire why and it was noted in my account that the female representative didn't like my tone during our phone conversation. Not to mention they reported an erroneous amount/date for the original debt. I disputed the dates and amounts with XXXX. XXXX updated my report with the correct amount, date and paid in full but didn't remove. I've been fighting for 6 years. Please investigate.

Phone call received stating they were collecting a debt and I had nothing from them stating what it was for and verifying it was correct. They said they would mail to me but that I owed this money. Less than a week later, they called again and I told them again I still had not received anything documenting what the debt was for. They told me it was sent a week prior and that I needed to contact my post office to see why I had not gotten the letter yet and that I needed to set up payments immediately. I told them I would not do so until I had received something from the post office and it was their responsibility to mail that documentation to me, not mine. A week after, I received another call and ignored it as I still had no documentation. A few days later, they called again and again I let it go to voicemail. A few minutes later, THEY CALLED MY WORK PHONE. This is harassment. The company has not provided documentation and now they are calling my work phone disrupting my job.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

on XX/XX/XXXX I was taken against my will to the emergency room by the local police department after I was robbed. I refused all Examinations and I told the emergency room that I do not wish to be treated because I was unharmed. I never gave them my name or ID and refused to talk or be treated. The police department gave them my information and I started getting a bill. I called and explained I was not treaded there and I was told they will take care of it and it is now a negative mark on my credit. I pulled the records from their office and multiple times it states that i refused treatment. I was told if I do not pay it it will go to collections and hurt my credit and I was about to buy a home at this same time. It is now in the hands of a law firm and I told them them this is not a debt that I owe. Nothing has changed with this. I also have health insurance from my work that would have covered the majority of the cost but they didn't use my insurance either.

I have disputed with LJ Ross Associates about the inaccurate entry that is reflecting on my credit report ( see attached documentation ). In my initial review and finding of this reflected entry, I submitted a dispute to LJ Ross Associates. on XX/XX/2018 and XX/XX/2018 via certified mail. Within my dispute ( see attached ), I specifically requested that they provide an agreement with signature of alleged debtor wherin he/she agreed to pay the creditor, date this alleged debt became payable, original delinquency date, verification that the debt was assigned or sold to collector as well as a complete accounting of alleged debt. LJ Ross Associates did not oblige. LJ Ross Associates letter, ( see attached ), dated XX/XX/2018 does not provide any substantial evidence to support the veracity in their reporting.Since LJ Ross Associates is unable to provide supporting documentation for this inaccurate, unverifiable entry, it must be deleted from my file immediately.

I noticed an Adverse account In Collections reporting on my credit report from for a {$230.00} debt balance due to L.J. Ross Associates. I had never heard of this company and I certainly never signed a contract with them. I contacted L.J. Ross Associates by phone on multiple different occasions to advise them that I was unaware of the debt that they are reporting and I requested that they remove it. I offered to pay the debt if they would agree to delete it so that I would not continue to suffer from the negative impact that this junk debt has had on my credit. This is not my debt. I have not ever conducted any business with L.J. Ross Associates. I have never requested their services and I never signed an agreement to pay L.J. Ross Associates for anything. Please stop this company from reporting this erroneous debt on my credit bureau reports immediately. Thank you for your kind assistance.

I noticed a big drop in my credit score on XX/XX/XXXX, and found out it was due to an account that was resolved with a previous collection agency. The new debt collector which I have disputed with all credit bureaus last week is LJ Ross Collection Agency. They are saying I owe a past XXXX ( electric company in XXXX ) bill of {$2500.00}. That is entirely false, as I do not owe anything. When this was in previous collection a few years ago, the case was resolved, as XXXX did not find any bills in the past 10 years for me, except a few months in XXXX, which I paid ( {$60.00} per month ). I have no idea why they are trying to collect again, especially since after I called XXXX , they couldn't even find any bill. When I called LJ Ross last week, they said my only choice is pay it, and I'm not going to pay for anything I do not owe and has previously been resolved.

The collection agency is sending false information about a debt to the credit beauros. They are not providing enough info related to my debt that they are trying to collect. I sent a dispute letter to this collection agency asking them to verify the debt but the company is sending their computer screenshots and saying that its a valid debt. I contacted the the supposed original creditor XXXX and they acknoledged that the debt shouldnt have been reported in the first place. I got a call from XXXX saying that they would delete this negative item from my credit report and they promptly removed it. On the other hand, LJ Ross is reporting this debt as a deliquent account and hurting my credit. This js absolutly unacceptable. They would need to contact XXXX regarding this debt and verify the validity of this debt and remove this item from all of my credit reports.

Please do not mark this as a duplicate complaint as NEW INFORMATION IS BEING PRESENTED to you. I requested validation from LJ ROSS and was sent forged documents. Please see the attached documents that show no indebtedness nor obligation between myself and LJ ROSS. It literally was two pieces of paper with medical codes, no signature showing an agreement between myself and LJ ROSS nor the " original creditor ''. I'm very worried now because I have no idea how they got access to my social security number to place this on my consumer reports. They never marked my account as " disputed '' although I've been disputing this alleged debt over three months now which is a violation of the fair credit reporting act. I am seeking to have this rectified once and for all because this is negatively impacting my name, reputation, and brand. Please investigate this company.

LJ Ross Associates Inc is a debt collector that is perpetually violating my consumer rights. LJ Ross has illegally and fraudulently parked a debt on my XXXX and XXXX consumer files. I first contacted LJ Ross on XX/XX/23, by sending a Notice for Validation of Debt request pursuant to 12 CFR {$1000.00}, as well as a cease and desist. Not only have they continued to collect a debt during the validation period, but they have even reported the account to an additional credit reporting agency, XXXX on XX/XX/23. I have only received one correspondence from LJ Ross and they have not sent me the required documents and disclosures under the law, nor have they provided me with the Model form B-1. The 30-day validation period has ended and LJ Ross Associates continues to illegally and fraudulently report this account on my consumer file and violate my consumer rights.

I had made payment arrangements with XXXX for {$50.00} a month to be withdrawn on a monthly bases for my copay of medical debt to ensure the debt would not go into collections. I have done this for over a year and for some reason they have turned me into collections when I have held up my end of the agreement. In addition, because of my ongoing life long medical condition my current copays go 's to this account to ensure a monthly payment is made to the hospital. Even at the collection of JL Ross the monthly payment is begin received via the hospital. I had over a year ago, made the arrangements for this payment to remain off my credit repost as I am rebuilding my credit. In addition, the hospital never sent anything saying this account would be turned over to collections so I could be able to contact them to have them review there records of agreement.

My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am sending this request myself to address the inaccuracies on my Credit Reports. I'm not confident that XXXX and XXXX Credit Bureaus efficiently pleased the principles of the Fair Credit Reporting Act in completing their investigation. The XXXX and XXXX Credit Bureaus are reporting inaccurate information on LJ ROSS ( Original Creditor : 08 XXXX XXXX ). Please change the status to Paid or simply " Remove '' the accounts. These statuses are damaging to my report, which would not be happening if the bureaus investigated properly before posting derogatory information. Per FCRA, reporting must be 100 % accurate. Here are the lists of the erroneous accounts reporting on my Credit Report : LJ ROSS ( Original Creditor : 08 XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Balance : {$370.00} ; LJ ROSS ( Original Creditor : 08 XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Balance : {$240.00}

The Original creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX updated their reporting software and at the time of payment of a separate account, they weren't able to alert me of a payment I had outstanding. On XX/XX/XXXX, I saw that LJ ROSS and ASSOCIATES placed a collection with all three bureaus in the amount of {$400.00}. I thought this was fraudulence due to XXXX XXXX not communicating to me that I owed a debt. As soon as I could I settled the debt with the original creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for the amount of {$430.00}. After paying the debt in full, LJ ROSS and ASSOCIATES is still reporting a collection with all three bureaus. I do not have a balance nor do I have an account with LJ ROSS and ASSOCIATES. This blemish is keeping my score low and will potentially keep me from attaining my ultimate goal of home ownership.

I filed a complaint about this twice already now this is my third time and the company asked me to do a few things for them, so i did what was asked but i wanted to put it on here as prove before i take it to my attorney if this problem is not fixed or atleast settled with the company. I have paystubs the notarize letter and mail that they asked for so i am working with them to get this fix. I once again HAVE NEVER EVER lived on address that they have a file on. I don't have a signature on any applications nor do i have a contract or a lease or anything from this property due to once again me not living here. I am sorry that this has happen to both of us but i am a victim here of theft I will upload everything needed here I can not provide amounts nor dates because i never got a letter or reports about this till i saw it on my credit report.

There has been fraudulent charges in my XXXX bank account and I reported it to them IMMEDIATELY. They removed the charges but didn't remove the fees for my account going to negative for these charges. Basically these fraudulent charges have been made in my account and these were revered back but the fees associated with these fraudulent charges making my account go to negative haven't been reverted back. They said it'll take a month to investigate the charges in my account after a month they got back to me and said they indeed were fraudulent charges and removed them but didn't remove the fees. So I closed my bank account there cause their policy is unfair. If the charges were fraudulent why should I pay the fees associated with them? Now they put a derogatory mark in my credit score caus of this. This is totally unfair.

I had an outstanding debt that I owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX for a total amount of {$180.00}, the outstanding debt was sent to a collection agency by the name of LJ Ross. After many harassing phone calls I set up a payment with this company to settle my debt. On the date of XX/XX/XXXX LJ Ross withdrew the total amount of my debt of {$180.00} which was previously agreed on. About 5 days after the transaction i checked my credit report and saw my score had gone up due to LJ Ross changing the status of my account to closed and paid in full. Today XX/XX/XXXX I checked my credit report only to see that my score had changed significantly due to LJ Ross adding a new account in collections for the same debt that I had previously paid off. The collection agency of LJ Ross is attempting to collect again on a debt that was previously paid.

LJ Ross and associates flagged my account for collections and didnt ever disclose any information to me, they didnt validify the debt, and didnt even disclose where the debt is from or who it is even from. The only reason I know their name, is because they attempted to take negative action against my credit without calling, contacting, or confirming the debt with me verbally, or by documentation. in the past I have had debt collection amounts verified as not being owed because of billing errors or being incorrectly charged, etc. on numerous occasions.so the fact that they didnt even contact me or inform me that I can dispute it, and then reporting it on my credit report in an attempt to hurt my credit, is not only distasteful and unprofessional, but completely against acting as a fair debt collection agency.

LJ Ross is a debt collection company that sent a letter to me in XX/XX/2019 stating I owed money. I sent a letter to them within one week of receiving this explaining that this debt did not belong to me and that I was disputing it and asked for legitimate proof that this was a factual demand. They provided me with a fictitious statement created in their office alleging that this money was owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX but that I had to pay them. In XX/XX/2019 LJ Ross appeared on all 3 of my credit reporting bureaus. I disputed all 3 credit bureaus and all but 1, XXXX, removed LJ Ross because there was no basis for their claim. I have disputed LJ Ross to XXXX 3 times and they keep coming back saying it's legitimately belonging to me. LJ Ross and XXXX are destroying my credit/FICO scores by their false claims.

After reviewing my credit profile on XX/XX/2020 I identified a discrepancy with an account listed under LJ Ross Associates Inc. and validation was requested on XX/XX/2020. On XX/XX/2020 I reviewed my credit profile again as LJ Ross Associates Inc. had not responded, therefore a 2nd validation request for the account was sent out on XX/XX/2020. Credit report was reviewed again on XX/XX/2020 and the account was still reflecting on my report and I do not believe the account belongs to me nor that the creditor has authorization to legally to attempt to collect on this account and the account continues to negatively affect me. Please strike and remove the account from all 3 credit bureaus until adequate validation has been received proving that the account belongs to me and that all information is correct.

I received a Notice of Amount Due from LJ Ross Associates, Inc. dated XXXX XXXX, 2017 for {$97.00}. The notice does not look like a valid collection notice, my name was spelled incorrectly, address incorrect, and the Current Creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX, was a name of a utility company that does not exist nor have I used in the past. When I called within 30 days to ask for validation of the bill, they refused to validate and would only make statements that were false and inaccurate. The dates and circumstances that they cited with regards to verification of this event were inaccurate. They gave me an incorrect creditor and I feel that this entire collection notice is false and extremely deceptive. I want validation and statement showing that the debt is truly mine. I am disputing that this debt is valid.

I have called and spoke to several people and even waited a month for them to take action. The entry still remails on my reports. Can someone help get this removed and or tell me how I can get through to them to have it removed, it would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to contact me, my e-mail address is XXXX Thank you for taking the time to look into this matter.

I received a notice that there was activity causing my credit score to decrease. When I check my report I saw that L J Ross and Associates had reported a collection of {$180.00} on my credit report. I was not aware of this matter by this company and had never heard of them until the entry was placed on my credit file. I am really puzzled because, my utility company is the same, and my utilities are still on and I have " not '' received any notice from them indicating that I have or had an overdue or delinquent account. I have disputed this matter with the credit reporting agencies and this company that I had never heard of or received a collection notice from " verified '' the debt. I have yet to see any verifying documents. I am preparing to sue this company and wanted to make you aware of it.

Because L J ROSS ASSOCIATES IN continues to report unverified, incorrect, and inaccurate information, this complaint is directed again at L J ROSS ASSOCIATES IN. I sent them a letter and called them even with respect to supposed obligation of the record reflected in my credit report wherein I was never told of this supposed obligation. This collection agency is violating the CFPB 's new Debt Collection Rule, which takes effect on XX/XX/2021, by reporting an unsubstantiated debt without providing proper notice prior to reporting. My privileges has been abused various times. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681, section 602 A, I have the right to privacy. Section 2 of 15 U.S.C. 1681, Section 604 A. It also says that a consumer reporting agency can't give me an account unless I tell them in writing.

I have received numerous calls but zero written communication from LJ Ross about a supposed debt. They have failed to identify their line of business and or the reason for their call. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was notified about a collection attempt added to my credit report for {$220.00}. It has seen been removed from my credit report through the dispute process. I don't have any outstanding debt that I'm aware of currently for {$220.00}. I need LJ Ross to stop calling me. I need all communication in writing and proof that this wasn't debt written off by a previous company sold on a list somewhere. I know most debt in this country is collected illegally outside of the statute of limitations. I am tired of having to hire attorneys to send letters to address fraudulent claims of debt.

After an accident, my husband incurred substantial medical bills. While we were able to make payment arrangements for most, one slipped thru the cracks and ended up in collections. L.J. Ross of XXXX, MI. We are not disputing the debt, nor refusing to make payments, our issue is the amount of money this company wants every month is far more than we can pay. They refuse to negotiate and we do n't want this to be unresolved. We want to make payments, but we need them to be willing to work with us, and by that, I mean, we can only afford XXXX a month ( we are, after all, making XXXX other medical bill payments! ) and not pay them the over XXXX per month they want. A little compassion is what we need. We are not trying to get out of a bill, just make it affordable is all.

I was contacted by LJ Ross and Associates regarding an unpaid utility bill. Upon hearing of the debt, I immediately disputed it's validity. My home was foreclosed on XX/XX/XXXX, however the new owner never took over the electric account. I was billed through approx XX/XX/XXXX for the electricity on a property that I did not own or occupy. I was unaware of the billing situation as the bills were being sent to a property that I did not live in. I sent LJ Ross & Associates a copy of the foreclosure dead, and made them aware that in the state of MA, I was not responsible for an electric bill for a property that I did not live in. LJ Ross and Associates continues to try to collect on this debt, even though complete proof has been shown that this is not a valid debt.

The XXXX bill in question was for an apartment I did not move into due to the unit being uninhabitable. I successfully broke the lease and returned all keys. I paid the XXXX bill on XX/XX/2021. There was a clerical error processing the payment, and it did not go through. XXXX attempted to notify me of this by mail at the address I never moved into and did not have a key for despite me telling XXXX my correct address on a recorded phone line. As soon as I found out the bill was unpaid and in collections, I paid it immediately. This is the only negative item on my credit report and I am in the processing of buying a house. I don't believe a clerical error should prevent me from succeeding in buying a house when my credit is otherwise perfect. Thank you.

I decided to look at my credit reports from the 3 major credit bureaus and found that someone had used my Identity. I have no idea how the theft took place. I also have no knowledge of any suspects. I did not receive any money, goods, or services as a result of identity theft. I contacted the Credit Bureau and told me to file an Identity Theft Report which I am doing.

This concerned me because I 've lived in XXXX for the past 2 years. I called XXXX and they had given me an address of account that had been opened that I did n't not recognize and have not lived in XXXX for 2 years. They then told me that this is a case of identity theft as someone else, not me, opened an account with all of my information, but was not me. They did not pay their bill, which is why they contacted me and is now in the collections hands. I have sent in the proper fraudulent dispute papers into XXXX and I need help getting this taken care of within my credit.

I have disputed this debt with the original company, the collection agency and credit bureaus. I submitted a stop service at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2017 to be backdated to XX/XX/2017, when I moved from this address. My final bill was for {$110.00} on XX/XX/2017. I have reached out to LJ Ross to ask for proof of debt, as they are reporting to the credit agency {$310.00}. At the time, I could not remember if I had submitted a stop service, but once I did find the verification, I submitted to the collection agency of the proof that I did not live at that address after XX/XX/2017. They have not provided the proof of debt after phone calls and written letters. They continue to submit negative remarks to the credit bureau.

I sent a certified letter to LJ Ross on XX/XX/XXXX request validation of a debt they have listed on my credit report. LJ Ross received the letter on XX/XX/XXXX. To this day, I have not received any information validating the debt, and they continue debt collection practices by reporting it on my credit. According to what I read on the CFPB 's website, they should not be reporting anything that they have not validated. Also, it has been longer than 30 days since I requested proof of the debt. I have not received anything. This has been very damaging to my credibility and has limited my ability to obtain better financing a terms with other companies. Please investigate to have this information removed and collection actions stopped.

My XXXX was hospitalized for XXXX weeks, and the hospital paid some of our living expenses.

The funds XXXX wants were meant to go to a service deposit that would be immediately refunded as we do not use their service. XXXX admits this on the phone. XXXX says it will do nothing to assist as it is in collections. Debt collector is not interested in facts. Debt collector demands payment.

LJ Ross a collection agency has repeatedly reported false information to all three credit bureaus, specifically " re-aging '' my account, in violation of the FCRA. They reported that I opened an account in XX/XX/2018, that is absolutely false. I never opened an account with LJ Ross in 2018, and I opened no accounts in all of 2018. Most recently they placed a derogatory remark on my account which dropped my score 70 points, and will stay on my report for 7 - 10 years. This is beyond abusive and predatory tactics. Below is copied from my report : Opened XX/XX/2018 ( 1 yr, 6 mos ) Account status Open Type -- Responsibility Individual Remarks Account information disputed by consumer, meets FCRA requirements Original Creditor Name

Debt was paid to original creditor directly and now L J ROSS ASSOC is holding my credit report hostage because I did not pay them my debt directly ... although I paid the debt off in full to original creditor ... .who agreed to have it removed from my credit report ... had I paid L J ROSS ASSOC directly it would have been removed from my credit report. L J ROSS ASSOC is holding my credit report hostage out of retaliation for me not paying the funds to them directly. It is a harassment tactic to bully those who pay off their debt to original creditor directly. All other collection agency that I paid directly on my credit report removed those items of collection from my report except L J ROSS ASSOC ; whom I did not pay directly.

On XX/XX/2023, LJ Ross and Associates contacted a family member of mine on their home phone after repeatedly calling them for the past couple of weeks. When calling my relative, they asked their name and proceeded to tell them it was an attempt to collect a debt. After she told them that she was not myself ( they stated my name and asked if she was me ), they proceeded to tell her the company the collection was for and the exact dollar amount of the collection. She told them that she was not the person whose name was on the debt nor has she ever lived in the city or state they are collecting for. LJ Ross and Associates has never contacted me via my phone number or address to validate the debt that they are collecting.

I called the number listed in my XXXX account for this business and it was disconnected. I called the number I found online for LJ Ross and left a message asking for call back.

This is a debt from at least 5 years ago. Placed with this company in XXXX of 2018. It was owed to XXXX for electricty when I was living in another apartment. I called to day to tell them that I could not afford to pay debt because I am on Social Security XXXX and was on limited income. The person I talked to was very rude demanded I pay, when I told her I was on Social Security, she told me that does not exempt me from paying this collection and that I will continue to be bothered by them, and she hung up Well, I cant pay because I have limited income. And they will never get paid, so what difference is it if the release it now or 20 years from now. Same result. Less frustration on everyones part.

I have disputed this entry with both the credit bureaus and LJ Ross Associates alike. In my letter dated XX/XX/2018, I specifically disputed the inaccuracy of this account with LJ Ross. I never entered into a contractual agreement with this company whereby I would have had terms of 1 month with them. Additionally, due to this entry not being a data factoring account, there should be no payment history attached. Why would only 2 months of payment history be reported? LJ Ross never responded to my request and therefore did not substantiate the validity of the data they reporting negligently. To that end, this entry must be deleted immediately from my credit reports.

I created an account to monitor my credit and see a collection from LJ ROSS still reporting, which has dropped my scores significantly. I addressed this collection with the understanding it was going to be deleted from the credit bureaus, which I see it was not. My frustration with this collection is that I was never advised I had the ability to dispute the collection. Due to this, I did not obtain the full statutory period in which to dispute the validity of this debt in question as I did not receive any notifications of this option. I would like this collection removed from my credit due to erroneous collection practices. Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I had asked for a statement or something to prove that I owed them the funds in question. The women on the other end stated " she could not give me those records '' .So I ended the phone call and decided to contact XXXX directly. The credit agency that XXXX XXXX gave me was not L.J Ross.

L J Ross and associates is on my credit report. I reached out through certified mail and disputed this information as I never had an account with them. I asked that they verify and validate this information. I asked that they send an original contract with signature, full payment history and whole account numbers. I have disputed this twice. They also failed to update this as being in dispute which is a violation of FCRA. Also not reporting whole true accurate information is against FCRA laws. Please delete from my credit as you have violated many laws and this account is not mine and does not belong to me. This account is yours and belong to you.

I INFORMED THIS PERSON I HAVE MEDICAL INSURANCE AND DID SO DURING THE DATE LISTED ON CREDIT REPORT FOR THIS ACCOUNT AND MY MEDICAL INSURANCE COVER MY MEDICAL CARE 100 %. THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THEY WOULD CONTACT THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR TO TRY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT. LJ ROSS VERIFIED THIS ACCOUNT RECENTLY WITH BOTH XXXX AND XXXX.

While checking my credit history/score online this evening, I discovered that L J Ross Associates , Inc is seeking to collect {$220.00} due to XXXX XXXX . I owe no such amount, and I have never heard of L J Ross Associates , Inc . I have not received any correspondence from them, I have not had any attempt by XXXX XXXXXXXX to collect a debt. Their debt collection on file is hurting my credit history, and is absolutely false. I owe {$0.00} to XXXX XXXX. I confirmed this by logging into my account and checking... I have a {$0.00} balance due. They are my current utility provider. I owe {$0.00}! I want this debt collection immediately closed.

customer service representative called and asked to verify address. When I asked what this was regarding. She would not tell me and repeatedly asked me to verify my current address. I said please take me off your list. And she said they do n't have a do not call list. Again and forcibly she asked for me to confirm my current address without telling me why. At this point I said goodbye and hung up. I did not know it was a collection effort from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX until I got a letter in the mail stating I owed XXXX a past due bill from a prior residence. Which I have since paid. The tactics used by this company are not okay and deceitful.

The company continued to call me relentlessly about a bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I told them I do not owe anything to this company and have proof that I will be willing to provide if they can send me something in writing. They sent nothing in writing but put that I owe money on all three of my credit reports and backdated the bill to XX/XX/2018, when it was just recently put on to my credit reports in XX/XX/2018.

I have asked LJ Ross Associates to validate a collection they are reporting on my credit reports on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and they have failed to provide anything that would support the fact that they are attempting to collect 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.

Basically in a nutshell I paid a bill that I owed the original collection agency XXXX XXXX the bill was in the amount of {$110.00} XX/XX/XXXX. Then I got a letter a month later from XXXX XXXX I explain to the personnel that I paid that bill. I never heard anything else from the company. XX/XX/XXXX the same bill resurfaces for {$110.00} from a company called XXXX XXXX they placed the erroneous collection on my file five times for a total of {$570.00} on my credit it looks like I owe five different late payments, I lost XXXX points because of this and the bill has been paid in full. This is the result of selling debt over and over.

This Bill is {$580.00} dollars but when I left the house the bill was closed. I'm not sure If the new residents continued service or turned the service back on in my name using an old bill that come to the house but this debt is not mine. I wish to have this account removed from my credit report as it is totally fraudulent. I had no idea about this bill until it appeared as an unpaid debt on my credit report.

This account is not owned by me. However I assisted the account owner to open this account and the account owner has been paying the account without default since the account originally opened. The account information was previously reported in my credit report to the three credit beaures and it was deleted after I complained approximately two year ago. Now after two years the same account with different company name is reported as default or bad credit and damaging my credit reputation. As result my credit score has been damaged.

Hello, I disputed a collections account that was reported by LJ ROSS to my credit report. The disputed was via XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. My dispute resulted in the account being removed from my credit file. This same account was reported to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I have had issues with this agencies before. I have a paper trail for the disputes and reporting dates. I never paid them any money. But, the account says paid now? Why would a debt collection agency, attempt to collect a debt and when no payment was issued, change it to paid?

As of XX/XX/2022 have not received any information about this collection. I disputed all my credit bureaus due to unverified information. This is fraud and is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act and validation is required by Federal and State Law. In addition, is a violation of the HIPAA Act. This must be REMOVED.
