Hi STEVENS BUSINESS SERVICE ; Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the America Bar Association and Professional Liability Fund for code of ethics violations.

On XX/XX/2021 I disputed a claim for debt and requested validation of alleged debt with Steven 's Business Service located in XXXX Massachusetts. I requested they prove the statue of limitations has not expired on the account. I requested proof that Steven 's Business Service is authorized to collect in my state. I requested license numbers and registered agent contact information as they are incorporated. I requested copies of verifications that show I agreed to pay the alleged amount of debt. I requested 30 days to validate any information the Respondent should supply. I requested a cease and desist of reporting any information to a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated or verifying an account as accurate when in fact there is no provided proof that it is. On XX/XX/2021 Steven 's Business Service responded with copies of medical billing statements. I did not ask for simple verification of the alleged debt, I asked for validation. I was not supplied with proper documents. I was not supplied with proof that the above respondent can collect in my state. I was not supplied with license numbers or registered Agent information. I was not supplied with proof that the statue of limitations has not expired. I was not supplied with verification of an agreement with any party to pay the alleged debt. Steven 's Business Service continues to verify and report invalidated information to the credit reporting repositories. I have proof that Steven 's Business Service is attempting to collect and reporting debt that is time barred according to Massachusetts General Laws on the statue of limitations. Furthermore the above Respondent is in violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act. The alleged debt occured when my employer changed the employee benefits group insurance company. I was fully insured through my employer, however the medical office had incorrect billing information due to the employers change in carrier. I do not owe this alleged debt. The correct carrier was billed for this. This is duplicate and time barred alleged debt. I request that the incorrect information be removed from all credit reporting repositories, as it has no validation and is inaccurate. This is detrimental to my credit report. Please assist me in rectifying the inaccurate information and providing me with any proof of such.

Stevens Business Service is reporting an account under their own name on my credit report. Under Massachusetts state law, a debt collector may only report on a consumers credit report while using the name of the creditor only. They are in violation of : 209 CMR 18.17 : Unfair Practices : A debt collector may not use unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of 209 CMR 18.17. ( XXXX ) For a debt collector to report to a consumer reporting agency on its transactions or experiences with a debtor in the debt collectors name. 940 CMR 7.07 : General Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices : It shall constitute an unfair or deceptive act or practice to engage in any of the following practices to collect or attempt to collect any debt : XXXX XXXX ) Using any business, company or organization name other than the true name of the creditors business, company or organization ( XXXX ) Reporting to a consumer reporting agency on transactions or experiences with a debtor in a name other than that of the original creditor I have contacted XXXX 's 3 times via certified mail and informed them of their illegal reporting. They have failed to remove their illegal listing. XX/XX/2021 I reached out to the Attorney General 's office. The AGO stated that a formal complaint should be filed with the CFPB for removal of the account.

on XXXX/XXXX/2015, I filed an dispute with Steven Business Service. I advised them that I am not refusing to pay the alleged debt, but their claim is disputed. I advised Steven Business Service to send me copy of contract with my authentic signature that begun this alleged debt and should the contract not be available with my authentic signature to delete the trade line off the CRA. More importantly, I advised Steven Business Service that not complying wit the FDCPA will put their company in a bad position with the CFPB. Steven Business Service never sent me a contract with my authentic signature that begun this alleged debt and is still reporting the account to the CRA .Steven Business Service sent me correspondence dated XX/XX/2015, and it stated that they have responded to my previous disputes and there is not any new facts to form a new investigation pursuant to the fair credit reporting act U.S.C. section 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 8 ) ( F ) ( i ) ( 11 ) and no further replies will be forthcoming.

I have no knowledge of the alleged debt. I have never entered into any contract or agreement with Stevens Business Service. I have not received any written communication from Stevens Business Service which is a violation pursuant to 15 U.S.C 1692e False or misleading representations. ( 10 ) The use of any false representations or deceptive means to collect a debt or obtain information concerning a consumer. This is also an alleged medical debt which pursuant to HIPPA Laws is a violation of my conusmer rights. Stevens Business Service did NOT provide me a HIPPA release that releases my medical information to them, therefore by providing such information they are in VIOLATION of my HIPPA rights. I am proceeding with legal action as prescribed by law against the Stevens Business Service should this item not be deleted within the required time allowed by law. I will seek every legal remedy available to me and file suit against the credit bureau responsible for reporting this violation.

A XXXX, XXXX, has been attempting to collect debt I do not owe for over 5 months now. My physician 's office, The XXXX XXXX XXXX, is responsible for this debt. I have provided a receipt showing that I paid The XXXX directly for the services rendered by XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/2016, which I explained in a fax to XXXX dated XXXX/XXXX/2016 and subsequent phone call on XXXX/XXXX/2016. On XXXX/XXXX/2016, the secretary at The XXXX XXXX XXXX also confirmed with XXXX that this bill was sent to me in error. I have explained the situation again in a letter dated XXXX/XXXX/2016 in which I asked XXXX to stop all communication with me about this debt. XXXX never acknowledged any of my communications. On XXXX/XXXX/2016, I received a communication from debt collector, Stevens Business Service. This now feels like harassment and poses a threat to my credit history.

XXXX XXXX has an account that was put in my without my consent so someone stole my identity, I’ve gone to the police, filed a report, I did everything XXXX XXXX wanted to prove to them I did not set up or reside at the address where services were fraudulently used. XXXX XXXX has agreed to remove the balance and account yet the company that bought the debt won’t stop reporting it to the credit bureaus! Stevens business services out of XXXX MA is still reporting to the credit agencies and even tho I’ve disputed it they’ve said they won’t stop until it’s paid! XXXX XXXX the original owner of this debt agrees that it’s not mine so why is this company still reporting it? I don’t know what else to do! I’ve done what I’ve needed worked with police the company itself and the 3 major credit reporting companies

Stevens Business Services was sent a Validation of debt letter mailed on XX/XX/22 which was delivered on XX/XX/22. The company responded and sent a letter back to me on XX/XX/22. Unfortunately the information is unresponsive to my demand for a Validation of debt from Stevens Business Services, I demanded proof ( NOT A ITEMIZED BILL ) that I owed Stevens Business Services money and that they Validate that information. The documents that they sent back does not show that I owe Stevens Business Services any money, proper validation performed, nor is their name listed on any of the documents that were sent showing that I owe any money to Stevens Business Services Please see attached 1. Validation of debt letter sent to company 2. Document of Itemized bill sent, Not a Validation of Debt which was demanded

A new collection was put on my credit report by the Stevens Business Service which does not belong to me. The company originally put a collection on my XXXX account and now they put one in XXXX. Both have been already disputed by me. I never received any details or information prior to them putting the collections in my credit reports. I also already sent a written mail to the company last XX/XX/2022 indicating that this debt in the amount of XXXX for an account number ending in XXXX is not mine and that this is because of identity theft and that they should remove all claims from all my credit reports- which they never did. I never lived in XXXX XXXX nor have I ever had an account in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am sending this request myself to address the inaccuracies on my Credit Reports. I provided proof that this company was falsely representing itself as a creditor which was a deceptive practice and in violation of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. And where is the proof of payment history of this account? The Credit Bureau chose not to investigate and chose to continue reporting fraudulent practices. That is unethical and damaging as a law-abiding consumer. REMOVE THIS COLLECTION ACCOUNT COMPLETELY FROM MY CREDIT REPORT.

I just came across a derogatory mark on my credit for a {$65.00} collection notice, " opened XX/XX/2018 ''. It is reported under both " XXXX/XXXX '' ( on XXXX ) & " Stevensbs '' ( on XXXX ). I've never been informed or have received any kind of notice or validation of this bill. As a result, I have never known there to be any effort made to collect this debt that is now negatively influencing my credit potential.
