This company has violated my consumer rights and has defamed my character by attempting to collect an alleged debt and reporting it to consumer reporting agencies. The following are the federal laws that they broke. 3-203. TRANSFER OF INSTRUMENT ; RIGHTS ACQUIRED BY TRANSFER.

( c ) Unless otherwise agreed, if an instrument is transferred for value and the transferee does not become a holder because of lack of indorsement by the transferor, the transferee has a specifically enforceable right to the unqualified indorsement of the transferor, but negotiation of the instrument does not occur until the indorsement is made.

clearly indicate the nature of your complaint. Enclose copies of any records or supporting documentation you may have to support your complaint. ** Please note if we are unable to read your complaint, processing will be delayed. ** In XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted XXXX XXXX for some routine dental work. I initially spoke to XXXX XXXX and confirmed if they accepted my Insurance provided by XXXX XXXX. Upon confirmation, I scheduled my initial visit on or around XX/XX/XXXX. During my initial visit, XX/XX/XXXX, I paid the required amounts due as a part of my obligation. During this visit, I was attended to by XXXX XXXX, XXXX. During his prognosis, he laid out a treatment plan for the next few months. And I understood what needed to be done and agreed to schedule a follow-up visit. In the month of XXXX, I contacted XXXX XXXX to schedule the follow-up visit with XXXX XXXX. Now, I was very specific with XXXX XXXX that she contacts XXXX XXXX for any pre-authorization need to start the treatment plan. I was assured at the time, before starting any procedures, XXXX XXXX will attain all the necessary pre-authorization requests or approvals to avoid any future potential denial of claim by the Insurance Company. During each visit and a follow-up for the next visit, I made it a point to advice XXXX XXXX to contact XXXX and get authorization for the next planned procedure, and as always, she ensured that it will be taken care of. During the period of late XX/XX/XXXX thru XXXX, XXXX XXXX paid {$260.00} to XXXX XXXX . As a part of my obligation, I paid {$590.00}. XXXX XXXX was paid {$850.00} ( XXXX ; XXXX XXXX ) In the month of XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX sent me a request for an additional payment of approx., {$450.00}. I immediately contacted XXXX XXXX and asked for an explanation for this new bill. XXXX XXXX advised me that XXXX XXXX had not paid them the full amount per their request, and hence they would like me to pay the difference. I advised XXXX XXXX that I would reach out to XXXX XXXX and find out the reason for not paying. In mid to late XXXX, upon speaking with XXXX XXXX , I was advised of the following ; 1. XXXX XXXX had never ever contacted for any pre-authorization for any treatment they had provided ( this was contrary to what I was led to believe by XXXX XXXX ) 2. All claim requests submitted by XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX, were paid to the benefit of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX provided me exact details for each claim submitted based on industry codes and the payments made thereof. After talking with XXXX XXXX, I contacted XXXX XXXX and apprised her of the conversation. She advised me that she will review the records and contact me with any further information. I did not hear back from XXXX XXXX and or XXXX XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX submitted the amount of {$450.00} to a collection agency ; TEK Collect out of XXXX, OH. The collection agency was provided an incomplete address, and because of that, I never received any correspondence from them. This was confirmed in a phone call to the collection agency on XX/XX/XXXX. After an extended conversation with the collection agency, I was advised that they would ask their client XXXX XXXX for supporting documentation for the claim amount of {$450.00}. I was further advised by TEK Collect, if within 30 days XXXX XXXX did not respond, they will cease any collection effort and remove the derogatory information form the Credit Bureau. On XX/XX/XXXX, TEK collect sent me the same information I had access to from XXXX XXXX, however, in this letter they failed to reflect supporting documents from the Insurance Company showing all the payments their client had received. Resolution and request. Based on the facts and the provided documentation, I am hereby requesting that XXXX XXXX retract any collection efforts and send an updated letter stating that I am not under obligation to make any payments to their office. I also hereby request that the billing and accounting practices at XXXX XXXX be investigated, so that other patients in the future are not caught off guard and vulnerable to predatory practices from this institution and collection agencies. Because of misrepresentations made by XXXX XXXX, and deceptive business practices of XXXX XXXX, I have suffered a lower credit score which has caused undue stress, and led to paying higher interest rates for obtaining a home loan.

I am subscriber of dental insurance, in XX/XX/XXXX adult daughter was pushed into getting work done on last days of the year because they thought she had unused benefits ( $ $ ) in her dental plan, she was told that services would be paid by insurance. At dental office, person who verifies insurance was not in and no one ran the pre certification resulting in them billing daughter for full amount. Tried to work this out with dental office, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, PA but to no avail. Filed complaint with FTC regarding the handling by dental office. Fast forward to XXXX, Bank notified me that there was a collections filing in my name ( subscriber ) that brought down credit score to XXXX 's was XXXX. We received nothing from collections and did not know what it was for. The bank only had collection company name TEK Collect. My wife XXXX the name and called the number. It was the dental office bill of my adult daughter that has been in dispute with dental office for years. We received nothing from dental group saying to was going to collections nor received anything from this collection agency and only found out because bank on XX/XX/XXXX saw it on my ( subscribers ) credit report. Report from bank shows opened on XX/XX/XXXX. Because bank was on us to get this fixed my wife she called collection people and informed them that this was reported on subscribers credit for adult child. Later we find out that the dental office was not allowed to go after subscriber for adult child but they did. At first we could not remember all the details to this mess because it was years ago, but after going through e mails and files these last weeks, we uncovered the full story. Collection people told my wife she needs to go to a bank that day and pay the full amount and they will remove it from the credit agencies but she needs to wire the money that day. My wife felt very uncomfortable with this tactic, and not even receiving a letter from TEK, she called dental office, no one returned call and after many attempts from us someone finally called my wife who gave them an earful. We notified TEK on XX/XX/XXXX after speaking with them and getting no where with this dental office low level employees. We XX/XX/XXXX e mailed XXXX XXXX from TEK COLLECTIONS, on XX/XX/XXXX that we have been advised that they need to validate the debt, told them again this was not a debt of subscriber and it has been in dispute with dental office for years and should not have been filed under subscribers name. We asked them to explain why a detailed statement was never sent from Dental office and why the EOB 's do not match what they did send and why they did not cash check that was sent to them years ago, we also asked them for a copy of the signed agreement that they went over with adult daughter at her visit. We asked that it be removed from collections until this billing dispute is resolved. We understand that the credit bureaus wait 180 days before listing medical debt on credit reports. So we do not even know how long collections had this before notifying the bureaus for we have received nothing, one would think a certified letter is warranted for something as severe as this matter resulting in a major hit to a credit report. And almost a month later still have not received anything in writing from collection company. Collection company said to open junk mail because their bills look like junk mail. Like are you kidding me. I need them to remove account from collections and transfer back to dental office. We need dental office to honor their written reduced amount they will accept even though my daughter feels it is not correct and she was pushed into the services. Thankfully, We no longer receive calls from collection company on cell or at work because we informed the debt collector that we filed a complaint with the PA Attorney General Office. As of yesterday it has NOT been REMOVED from the credit report.

XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX/Tek-Collect Inc Date : XX/XX/XXXX Re : Acct # XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I have previously sent you a request to validate my debt under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and all I received was an itemized list of the alleged charges you claim I owe you. This does not meet the Federal Trade Commissions guidelines of what constitutes proper debt validation In addition, in the case of XXXX Vs. XXXX ( IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF INDIANA, No. XXXX ), the court ruled that : 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) ( emphasis added ). On XX/XX/XXXX, nineteen days after the date of XXXX debt collection letter, XXXX counsel XXXX sent XXXX a letter declaring that XXXX disputes your debt collection-related allegations, denies the same, and demands strict proof and verification thereof. Record at 21. As such, XXXX should have ceased his debt collection efforts immediately upon receiving that letter. Instead, XXXX proceeded to obtain a default judgment against XXXX on the debt collection claim before he had mailed XXXX the necessary verification and, thus, violated 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ). XXXX maintains, however, that there was no violation of the FDCPA because he sent adequate verification of the debt [ to XXXX ] in the XX/XX/XXXX notice of claim. Brief of Appellee at 13. Specifically, XXXX claims that a copy of the consumer credit contract between XXXX and XXXX XXXX attached to the notice of claim provided sufficient verification of the debt within the meaning of 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ). We can not agree. The contract in no way provides sufficient verification of the debt. A review of the document reveals that it identifies only the terms of XXXX loan, including a 17.99 % annual interest rate and the original loan amount of {$2500.00}. The loan agreement contains no accounting of any payments made by XXXX, the dates on which those payments were made, the interest which had accrued, or any late fees which had been assessed once XXXX stopped making the required payments. Indeed, the existing unpaid contract balance at the time XXXX sent the debt collection notice was at least {$350.00} more than the original loan amount. Therefore, XXXX violated 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) when he failed to cease collection of the debt by obtaining a default judgment against XXXX after XXXX had notified XXXX in writing that he was disputing the debt but before XXXX had mailed verification of the debt to XXXX. We reverse the trial courts entry of summary judgment in favor of XXXX on this issue. I notice that you are still reporting this collection on my credit report, which is considered to be a collection activity. You are now in violation of the FCPDA, and are now subject to fines of {$1000.00}, plus actual damages and attorneys fees, which I may collect from you by filing a claim in small claims court. These collections on my credit report are causing me severe problems in trying to purchase a home and the damage could lead into the $ 1000s. You should also be aware that reporting such invalidated information to major credit bureaus might constitute defamation of character, as the negative marks on my credit report harm my credit and prevent me from enjoying all the benefits of good credit. In addition, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) does not allow the inaccurate reporting of information on my credit report and under this act. Therefore, if you do not immediately remove this account from my credit report, you are subject to another {$1000.00} fine, plus punitive damages. I'm sure your legal staff will agree that non-compliance with this request could put your company in serious legal trouble with the FTC and other state or federal agencies. I intend to follow through with the suit if I do not hear back from you within 15 days. I look forward to hearing from you, Thank you.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email notification from XXXX XXXX informing me that a new account has been added to my credit. Unaware of any new accounts, I logged on to find out that a dental bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that I had been actively making payments on was sent to collections and that it had hit my credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX, I made an attempt to contact the dentist, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, to whom I owed the remaining balance of my bill to for further clarification as to why the bill I was making payments on was sent to a collection agency and why I wasn't notified that it was being sent to collections. The woman, XXXX, who I had spoken to claimed that the debt was sent to the collection agency on XX/XX/XXXX. All that time, the dentist, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, was still sending bills and contacting me for payment, but failed to mention that my bill was in collections. That same day, XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXX p.m., I contacted the collection agency, Tek Collect Inc. My first attempt calling, I spoke with a man whose name I can't recall, if he ever provided one. The man told me that he would " call me right back. '' I never received a callback. Concerned, I called Tek Collect Inc again on the same day at XXXX p.m. I spoke with a woman who claimed Tek Collect Inc tried to reach out to me by XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. Additionally, Tek Collect Inc claimed to have called me on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. I never received any letters or phone calls. I asked Tek Collect Inc how they sent the letters and if they could provide a tracking number. They said that they send their letters XXXX first class mail, in plain white envelopes, with no return address or tracking information. I contacted XXXX customer service who confirmed that without a tracking number, there is no proof that any mail was ever sent. I also contacted my local post office to see if any mail was held for me for any reason and they said no and also confirmed that without tracking that there is no way to see if any mail was ever sent. With this information, I called Tek Collect Inc and asked if they had any kind of log proving that they sent me a debt notification and they confirmed that they could not prove anything was sent. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted my phone service provider, XXXX XXXX, who is owned by XXXX XXXX and requested my call detail records. Unfortunately, without a subpoena, they could only provide me with records going 90 days back, meaning I could only receive call detail records going as far back as XX/XX/XXXX. When reviewing the print out of my call detail records for the dates that Tek Collect Inc claimed they called, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, I did not receive any calls from Tek Collect Inc. This proves that they did not call me. I was never notified of this debt until it hit my credit report. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), every collector must send you a written validation notice telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you dont think you owe the money. Tek Collect Inc never contacted me. This is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I would like to know my rights and who to further proceed. I would like to specify that I am aware that I owe money. The dentist did do a procedure on me. According to the last bill I received from the dentist, I owe {$1000.00}. According to the derogatory mark listed on my credit report from the collection agency I owe {$1100.00}. I am disputing/reporting that I did not receive notification that the bill I was actively making small payments on was in collections.

Let me begin by saying that the company did not use profane language. There was no description that was similar to the problem I had but I could not go forward with this process without clicking one item. The complaint is against Tek-Collect. I had never heard of the company before and some man called and said he needed my personal information to go forward with the call. He wanted ME to give HIM my personal identifying information and would not give me any information to make me feel as though this was a legitimate company. He said I had an account that was placed with them for collection however he would not even tell me WHO the company was unless I gave him my identifying information such as my address and date of birth ( who knows what else he would have asked for had I given him the information?? ) When this came up on my credit report I called Tek-Connect on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to a person who I believe was named XXXX and she told me at first I had 2 accounts at their agency XXXX???!!! ) but that both accounts had been paid and no longer had a balance. Then she said no it was only one that there was 2 people with the name XXXX XXXX with them ( breach of confidentiality?? ). She then told me to email XXXX XXXX who was the manager and she would help me further. I did this and got a letter via email from XXXX stating she was going to have the account removed from my credit ( I had went over my grievance with her about the shady tactics that were used to get information from me and that had I felt it was a legitimate company really trying to collect a debt and not trying to scam me I would have gladly given the person my payment information and it could have easily been resolved ). I was told by the first person ( XXXX? ) and XXXX as well that it was their policy to collect information from the person prior to disclosing any information to the person. We as a society are told all the time NOT to give someone calling you your personal information because they could be a scammer. I had never heard of Tek-Collect before and the guy also seemed to get a kick out of me trying to get legitimate information from him and then refusing to give him any information unless he proved legitimacy. That made me feel even more so like he was someone trying to scam me. Also, I never received any information from them via mail etc. Then I got the email communication from XXXX XXXX saying she was going to have this removed and she also said that the supposedly second account I had there was not me and in fact another person with my name. The next day I got another alert that they had sent a SECOND account to the credit bureau!!! Both of them told me I only had the one account there. Also when XXXX told me of the " second account " she told me it was also paid ( " BOTH '' OF THEM WERE PAID ) so that means when the second mark against my credit was reported they had sent something that was already paid to the credit bureau!! These people need to be stopped. They should at least tell a person who they are calling on behalf of. They also sent something to the credit bureau that was paid prior not to mention the fact they told me there was only ONE account with them yet they made a second mark against my credit. Prior to this ordeal with them I had EXCELLENT credit of well over 800 and now this has hurt my credit and should have and could have been avoided altogether. Please be aware that I have an email chain between me and XXXX XXXX. Also she told me I should have paid my bill when my insurance company sent me an EOB. Even so, that would put the company she works for out of business if people always did that wouldn't it? -- yes, I have this on my email.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a balance of {$210.00} on my credit report. In XX/XX/2023, TeKcollect, a collection email sent a dunning letter, on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. in the letter, TekCollect letter stated that as of XX/XX/2023 i owed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The letter also stated that i paid or were credited XXXX leaving a balance of XXXX Currently, XXXX XXXX XXXX is still reporting a balance of XXXX on my credit report after the letter from tekcollect shows XXXX for the same accounthave reached out to both companies and neither will correct the issue. i have attached both documents as proof as well as my credit reports. Additionally Tek Collect is a collection company which means that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sold the account to a third party which will make it a violation to continue to report a balance on an account that has been sold. Furthermore, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX reporting the account as a open account when it is reporting as as collection./chargeoff which means its closed by default. These inconsistencies prove that no reasonable or proper investigation has occurred. I have been disputing these accounts for a year. FCRA section 616 for civil liability for willful non compliance, ( 15 U.S.C section 1681nh states that any person who fails to willfully comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of A- any actual damage sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damage of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00}. i have suffered damages to my credit profile which has impacted my financial wellbeing. I would like to be compensated by these bureaus in the sum of more than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00} for their negligence in causing these violations and damages to my credit report According to FCRA 623a ( 1 ) ( A ), 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. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to report the balance of XXXX and an open account status for an account that is a chargeoff/collection B ) reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors- a person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any credit reporting agency if ( 1 ) the person has been notified by the consumer at the address specified by the person for such notices that specific information is inaccurate and the information is infact accurate. Here, for the i have dipsuted for a year with all three credit buraus constantly pointing out the inconsistencies that are being report. Each time, the bureaus confirms that XXXX has verfied the account as accurately, however, all of these consistencies and inaccuracies remain. Furthermore, outside of XXXX, XXXX and XXXX reporting the chargeoff as a open account, XXXX is reporting the date of last activity as XX/XX/2023 XXXX is reporting XX/XX/2023 and XXXX is reporting XX/XX/2023. XXXX and XXXX fails to report the date of last payment while XXXX is reporting the date of last payment as XX/XX/2023 when this account was paid in XXXX, therefore it is evident that XXXX did not conduct a reasonable investigation as the date of last activity should reflect the last date a payment was made This account was disputed with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, and all companies fail to mark the account as disputed as outlined in the 15 U.S.C section 1681

XX/XX/2019 RE : FRAUD AND MISREPRESENTATIONS BY TEK-COLLECT INCORPORATED CONSUMER COMPLAINT To THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU : XXXX XXXX XXXX became aware of TekCollects service through the executive director of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. He explained that his son, XXXX XXXX, had been working in the collections industry for several years and had created a strategy or business model that effectively collected payday advance checks. XXXX explained XXXX had recently been hired by TekCollect to promote this new service within the check cashing and payday advance industries. Further, we were told the company offered a money-back guarantee on their pre-paid collection service. Shortly thereafter, XXXX XXXX contracted with TekCollect employee, XXXX XXXX, about providing services to multiple store owners within the XXXX XXXX franchise system. He described the terms of the servicethat the company would guarantee four times the initial investment in collections, or a refund would be made. These werent representations being made to our franchisees by XXXX XXXX, XXXX, these were being made to them directly by an employee of TekCollect. As a result of these enticements, several franchisees across the country including mine signed up with TekCollect and submitted the requisite pre-payment fee and 100 outstanding checks. TekCollects employee, on behalf of TekCollect, made representations numerous times to XXXX XXXX, XXXX and to many of our franchisees, that if the company could not collect the payday advance checks submitted, a refund would be made. As time went by, it was discovered that the collections werent coming back as represented. When asked, TekCollect employees said the store owners simply needed to submit additional checks, that the four times collections would be generated or a refund paid. More time, and more uncollected checks, but few or no collections resulted. Never once did XXXX XXXX or anyone else from TekCollect tell XXXX XXXX, XXXX or the franchise owners they were submitting checks improperly. Eventually our XXXX franchisee, XXXX XXXX, requested a refund. TekCollect promptly denied his refund. He was told he needed to submit additional checks. He had submitted more than two times the initial number of bad checks. Few, if any, were collected. After many back and forth communications with XXXX XXXX, Mr. XXXX threatened to sue TekCollect. TekCollect finally relented and made good on its refund guarantee and sent Mr. XXXX a check. Two months more passed since we also asked for a refund and TekCollect refused to respond. XXXX XXXX, XXXX has conducted some additional investigation. It appears that Connecticut and as many as four other states have allegedly issued Cease and Desist orders against TekCollect for this or other similar misrepresentations or inappropriate collection efforts. The CFPB has a reputation for taking financial abuse and scams very seriously. Our franchise owners were promised one level or performance with a money-back guarantee and did not receive that performance. Now TekCollect is refusing to live up to its contractual money-back obligation. I hope you find our complaint worthy of further investigation, possibly resulting in shutting down TekCollects operations in California. Small businesses such as ours should not be victimized by such blatant fraud and misrepresentations. Thank you. Very truly yours, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX

I was receiving dental insurance from XXXX while working at XXXX XXXX, in XXXX IL from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. When I ended my employment with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, the exit document provided to me stated that health/dental/etc coverage would be available through the end of the month, i.e. through XX/XX/XXXX. As such, I received dental services at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. However, XXXX terminated my coverage on XX/XX/XXXX and thus my {$320.00} charge was denied by the insurance company. I didnt find out until XXXX of XXXX. I moved to XXXX and the dental office was sending correspondence to my old address ( in XXXX ) and it wasnt getting forwarded because they had spelled my name incorrectly ( which disputes the validity of their paperwork, for one thing ). I found out when someone who lived at my old address notified me about the mail. I then began corresponding with the dental office via email. Furthermore, in addition to the charges for the XXXX, XXXX denied multiple procedures that their documentation claimed they covered 80 % because they deemed them unnecessary despite the dental office providing x rays and medical information to prove otherwise. This is a known scam by XXXX, as they provide no evidence or documentation and force customers to either except their bogus denials or go to small claims court. I attemped to explore my legal options and attempting to find resolution with the XXXX or the ethics team behind XXXX. The dental office is also to blame because they printed me a bill at the time of service claiming that the insurance was covering $ X and claiming that the cleaning services they provided were absolutely necessary. The office told me they were continuing to correspond with XXXX to try to appeal the issue, and then in XXXX of XXXX I found out they had turned the amount over to a collection agency. Again, none of this correspondence actually made it to me, I just found out via communication from the inhabitant of my old home. I disputed the letter from collections, Tek Collect, in XXXX of XXXX and never received another correspondence. Then, yesterday, I see that it was posted on my credit report. Thus, XXXX XXXX and XXXX failed to resolve the issue with XXXX like they claimed they would do. I did not receive any notice of this because their offices didn't even have accurate paperwork, and didn't know my name to send me the notices. TekCollect also did not have the correct address for me, or name, which brings further question to the validity of these claims and their accuracy. Attached, you will find two email threads with XXXX XXXX as well as the only response I received for a claim I submitted to XXXX. This is an overview of the charges and this is an overview of their responses. ( This is all copy/pasted from the online portal. ) I've also attached downloads of the various bills. Finally, I am attaching a response I received from XXXX regarding my submission to the XXXX. Highlighted, you can see that their " dental director '' claims XXXX XXXX and XXXX is not evidence. However, the dental office determined the exact opposite. I also submitted a claim to the XXXX : https : XXXX.

I have been receiving 3-4 calls per day from a company called Tek Collect trying to collect a small debt I'm told of {$120.00}. Earlier this week on XX/XX/XXXX I received calls from XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX at XXXX, XXXX, and again at XXXX during work hours. I work in the medical field and was unable to complete a patients workup due to the constant calling. During my lunch break I answered one of the repeated calls. The person calling gave me their name and asked me to identify myself by full name and home address. I asked who was calling and was told that no information about exactly who was calling could be revealed until I could verify my name and address. Unfortunately I did not have time to investigate this matter properly at the time, so I kindly replied " No thank you please don't call me again ''. The person on the other line said " Ok we will try again later '' and hung up. Since this day I have received 4-5 calls per day from several different numbers, some have left blank messages of what sounds like a call center and someone laughing with a coworker. On XX/XX/XXXX after receiving three calls from XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX the same number back to back I stepped away from a work matter to call the number back. When the call was answered the person asked is this ( my name ) I once again asked who was calling and was given the same spill about not being able to tell me who was calling until I gave my information first. I asked " So you can not even tell me what company you are calling from? I don't give out my person information to people I don't know. '' The person stated they were calling from Tek Collect about a debt they stated that I owed a medical debut of {$120.00} and would like to know when I would be making a payment. I told the person that at this time I am unable to make any form of payment and that when I can make a payment I will contact them. I was then told to hold and was transferred to someone who requested payment again. They then began questioning why I was unable to make a payment. I explained that I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as a full time worker and at this time my monthly bills already over exceed my income. The person cut across me and stated " So you have income your getting paid whats the problem, why can't you pay? So you just don't plan to pay this debut you owe? '' I once again requested not to be called and hung up. This morning around XXXX XXXX on a Saturday I awoke to a call yet again from ( XXXX ) XXXX. I answered and told them I could not make a payment, then mentioned the number of times this week I have already been called. The person replied " we have a computerized system we don't determine the amount of times you are called ''. I then asked isn't there a certain amount of calls that is considered harassment? The person replied no this is not harassment because you owe a debut we can call as many times as we need until the debut is collected. Here is a list of other numbers that this company has contacted me from between the dates of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX

I received a notification via XXXX XXXX that an account was reported to my credit bureau. It stated that I owed money to XXXX College for {$990.00}. I have never done business with this company. I called the debt collection agency that is handling this account to obtain information pertaining to this debt. This debt collection agency is named TEK Collect Inc, address XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Oh. XXXX. A woman named XXXX answered the phone as " business office '' and not the company name which made me feel uncomfortable since I did not know if I had the right or wrong number. I had to make her give me the name by asking for it. I told her I needed information in regards to an account that they are trying to collect on. XXXX stated that she could only send the information and not tell me over the phone which is false. If she is asking for my information to validate that it is me in their file, she has to disclose the nature of the debt. I asked repeatedly what the charge is for and she could not tell me. She just kept saying that she could only send the information in the form of a letter. XXXX was also rude. She kept talking over me and at times would not let me finish my sentence. XXXX would not answer my basic questions such as what the debt is for, and if they purchased the account or if it was placed. After she could not explain to me what the debt was for, she transferred me to a supervisor even though I did not request to speak to one. The supervisors name is XXXX XXXX. Mr. XXXX was also not able to explain to me what the debt is for and what the charges were from. I must have asked Mr. XXXX over 10 times what the debt was for and he would never answer my question. He only kept repeating to me that he could only send a letter. I told Mr. XXXX that he seemed to be dancing around my question by not giving me a solid answer. He told me that I was dancing around by not giving him my address even though I had given it to the first representative. I informed Mr. XXXX that since the company he works for answered my phone call as only " business office '' and that nobody could explain to me what the debt is for, I felt very uncomfortable giving any more information. Mr. XXXX talked over me on several occasions and could not give me any solid answers. I would like an investigation on TEK 's collection tactics. I have a right as a consumer to know what debt, if any, I have with TEK 's collection agency. I have a right to know what the debt is for. I also felt threatened when XXXX and supervisor XXXX talked over me. I felt very uncomfortable and scared when this company did not specify what the debt is for and by not immediately providing me with the company name. I had to ask for it. Further more, I am seeking compensation for every violation this company made on my phone call to them. This includes but is not limited to, talking over me and not providing me with adequate information to validate this debt.

A newly opened veterinary hospitaXXXX XXXX my Emotional Support Animal ( ESA ) - an XXXX XXXX XXXX- through their incompetent medical care. To add insult to injury, the animal hospital, XXXX XXXX XXXX told me I owed them around {$1800.00}! Link below : XXXX XXXX XXXX When I say " newly opened '', I'm referring to the recent acquisition of this animal hospital by a new national consolidator of animal healthcare, XXXX XXXX XXXX : Link below : XXXX XXXX XXXX When XXXX XXXX XXXX was acquired by XXXX XXXX XXXX, most of their excellent highly-skilled veterinarians and technicians left XXXX XXXX XXXX. What was left was an entirely new practice with new veterinarians who were XXXX XXXX XXXX employees. Their new " medical director '' needlessly XXXX my Emotional Support Animal of over 11 years. Since I'm currently dealing with XXXX XXXX and all that goes with treating my XXXX, I needed my ESA more than ever. I am XXXX years of age. The new practice manager at XXXX XXXX XXXX, a XXXX XXXX XXXX employee, called me and told me I owed them {$1700.00}. I informed her that I would not pay them for XXXX my dog. She informed me she would escalate the matter to the appropriate management at XXXX XXXX XXXX. I heard nothing from XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX apart from the phone call referenced above in late XXXX of XXXX. I use a credit monitoring service, XXXX XXXX, that notifies me if any negative information shows up on my credit reports. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was notified by XXXX XXXX that the alleged debt in question was reported to the credit bureaus by a company called TEK-Collect, Link below : http : //www.tekcollect.com/Frontend/Content/Home The result of this reporting lowered my good credit score by around 70 points! Since battling XXXX is expensive, the last thing I need is for my credit to be damaged. In addition, the last thing I needed was some huge new corporate pet medical provider, XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX my Emotional Support Animal through the incompetence of their new alleged medical providers. In summary : I do not believe this debt is fair in any way. Also, other than the phone call mentioned above I received in late XXXX of XXXX, I received no notice that the alleged debt would be turned over to TEK-Collect or any notice that the alleged debt would be reported to the credit bureaus. The resolution I seek. This is an invalid debt that was improperly reported to the credit bureaus. It should be expunged from my credit bureau records. I do not believe I should pay a new profit-over-pet vet care startup, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for killing my Emotional Support Animal when I need him the most while fighting XXXX. Thank you for considering this information. Please contact me if I may provide any additional information. Best regards, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Upon checking my credit I noticed that this collection had been added to my report! I have never heard of this debt collector. I have not been contacted or notified of any debt that has been listed with this company. They sent me no correspondence advising that they own the debt, who the creditor was nor advised of my option to dispute the debt. I called the company 8 times within the last 60 days. ( Calls were recorded )! To find out more information and to dispute the account. I was transferred amongst departments, no information was given. They attempted to fraudulently ask other questions not pertaining to the debt like if I'd moved in the last 12 months, what my previous phone numbers were, if I'd used any other name variations besides my actual name, if I've married or divorced any aliases I might have used and other unprofessional questions rather than just to advise me what the debt was for. I felt insulted and harassed. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act states that a debt collector must send the consumer a written notice containing the amount of the debt, name of the creditor and a statement stating they have 30 days to dispute the validity of the debt or the debt will be considered valid by the debt collector. Failure by the consumer to dispute the debt within that 30-day time period is not considered an admission of liability. If the agency doesn't follow this process then they have no rights or grounds to collect or report the debt to any credit bureaus and must immediately remove the debt from the consumers credit report. The company didn't contact me within 30 days of assuming the debt and has therefore violated my rights so this needs to be removed from all 3 credit bureaus! I do NOT give the company permission to contact me via telephone, an employer, email or any other means except by US Mail. I have never done business with a company called TEK-COLLECT nor have I ever signed a contract with them so this debt is fraudulent and frivolous. It needs to be deleted effectively immediately with all major credit bureaus. No collection agency can report past due balances, dates of past due balances or payment history. This company has violated several FCRA regulations. Delete immediately or I will contact my attorney to proceed with legal action. This account does not belong to me! I have no idea who this company is. Delete any and all of my contact information effective immediately. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EMAIL ME! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CALL ME! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CALL RELATIVES! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REACH AN EMPLOYER! SEND ALL CORRESPONDENCE AND PROOF OF DELETION TO MY MAILING ADDRESS ONLY! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTACT ME OR ANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS VIA TELEPHONE, EMAIL OR EMPLOYER!

The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX does not have a record of our original contract and is trying to collect {$5400.00} on a membership which we quit back in XXXX XXXX XXXX The issues are that the card that was being automatically charged had been closed due to fraud, and also the home phone line was discontinued as we were no longer using the hard-wired telephone and transitioning to an all mobile phone plan. XXXX claims that they left messages, which can not be done to a phone line that has been discontinued, and also that they sent emails, which they are not able to provide us with proof of said emails. And there were no hard copy statements mailed to our home, less than XXXX mile away from the XXXX location. Additionally, I personally visited with staff to discuss the issue because my ex-wife had claimed that they were rude to her on the telephone to offer a resolution just to remove this scar on our credit report, offering an amount of {$2000.00} to make the problem go away, and this was refused. At this meeting, the person in charge of memberships stated to me that there was a lapse in accounting methods at the club because of a transition to a new accounting software. Also at this meeting, this same person looked into whether any of my family 's membership fobs had registered at the front desk after XX/XX/2016 and could not find any member log ins into their system. I was offering the {$2000.00} as a good faith gesture but am now incensed and will fight the collection claim as I see it as bad business practices, extortion, and an attempt to defame our credit. You will note on the member profile billing office pages that they have the incorrect email address " XXXX '' identified, perhaps this was the issue why no emails were received as the proper email address is " XXXX ''. The email was misspelled and perhaps this happened in the migration to the new software. I believe that if there was an inquiry audit into the bookkeeping and collection practices at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, that there would be ample evidence of bullying, poor record keeping, horrible or non-existent customer relations and communications, bad business practices, and defamation of credit to their past members who have left the club. The attached paperwork sent to us, along with the amount due, does not display one communication letting us know that our debit card was not successfully paying the amount ( after the fraud occurred and we were issued a new card ), there are not hard copy letters of communication about an amount due with our home address on them, and there are no copies of any emails sent to us. And, they do not have our original contract on hand. Sincerely, Unsatisfied Customer

TEK 's response to my original CFPB complaint is inaccurate. Company 's Response In a call on XX/XX/XXXX, the consumer disputed the debt. the allegation was that the property at the address for the services, was sold in XX/XX/XXXX and he was not responsible as the proceeded the sale. No offer of payment was made. On XX/XX/XXXX, TekCollect sent validation of the debt to the consumer. It is attached. The validation shows that the charges involved precede the sale and are the responsibility of the consumer. No one at Tekcollect has told the consumer otherwise or that the debt is uncollectible. If the consumer wishes to pay this debt, he may do so by calling our toll-free number ( XXXX ) XXXX, extension XXXX and speak with our XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 's email address is XXXX. XXXX XXXX phone XXXX XXXX email XXXX After I received this reply ( above ) from TEK from my previous CFPB complaint I contacted Tek Collect based on the instructions that were left with their company response on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The number that was listed to call to pay the debt was ( XXXX ) XXXX and the company that picked up the call was a company called XXXX XXXX and NOT Tek Collect. I asked the operator if the extension ( as indicated on the company response XXXX ) for XXXX XXXX was there and they told me that the number was incorrect and the person did not exist in their company. I then called XXXX XXXX that was indicated on the letter ( XXXX XXXX ) and it seemed to have gone to his cellphone or a personal phone if some kind as there was no recording indicating that the phone call was being recorded etc. He then proceeded to tell me that the debt was already paid in XXXX and that the payment was fulfilled. But when I asked him why the debt was still showing on my credit report he said that it didnt make sense and he has no idea why. I then proceeded to ask him if the debt has already been fulfilled if they could remove it from my credit report to which he said he will remove it immediately. There was no confirmation number or any reference given to me indicating that this was done. Hence I am writing to you letting you know about the exchange and my attempt to have this resolved in a timely fashion. Unfortunately, Tek Collect doesnt seem to make paying the debt ( even if it is inaccurate and false ) easier for the consumer. Their process seems to be meandering and very difficult to navigate for the average consumer who is trying to settle a clear violation of their consumer rights. If this is not resolved with this second attempt, I will be hiring a FCRA lawyer

I am currently being XXXX by a woman named XXXX from Tek Collect her number is XXXX. She said my wife XXXX XXXX owes her old XXXX Dr XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX Rhode Island {$660.00} plus fees. I explained we do not owe that. This XXXX has already stolen {$24000.00} cash from us. Let me explain My wife needed a XXXX XXXX we had a great XXXX pull the remainder of her XXXX XXXX and put XXXX in. All Dr XXXX did is have a XXXX made and screwed that XXXX to the XXXX. He told us he only does the best XXXX made of solid porcelain it is hard so it will last 30 years. It is however expensive because it takes a long time to make and is hard to cut and drill. So as he requested I paid him {$25000.00} out of pocket upfront only to later find out he put in a cheap acrylic XXXX that only lasts 7 years which all other XXXX charge {$2000.00} for. Then to make matters even worse the XXXX was defective costing me an additional {$1600.00} to replace that broken screw that the defective XXXX kept breaking on the XXXX. The technician explained it like this. The back of the XXXX was not touching the XXXX so my wife would bite down and the XXXX would go down acting like a lever breaking that same screw each year. Right now he has taken {$26000.00} from me for this {$2000.00} XXXX, for a full XXXX. To fix the XXXX he had the technician cut off the XXXX XXXX. So now I tell XXXX I paid for a full XXXX and he only gave us a partial XXXX he owes me money. She said well I will tell him you dispute this charge but he says you owe it, if he says you owe it, then you owe it. since you said you will not pay it we will ruin your credit. It will remain ruined, the only way to get your credit back is to pay us directly in full. We will be mailing you a letter explaining your credit problem and how there is only way for you to fix it.XXXXXX/XX/XXXX he put the XXXX in. XX/XX/XXXX he replaced a broken screw cost {$260.00}. In XXXX I paid {$660.00} for a broken screw. In XXXX another {$660.00} for same broken screw. XX/XX/XXXX he replaced the screw and cut the XXXX XXXX off he sent me a bill for {$660.00} that is what I told XXXX I do not owe because that expense was incurred because of a defective XXXX. Attached please see XXXX of defective XXXX before and after he cut the XXXX XXXX. Also attached most of the payments I made to this XXXX including the disputed bill from XX/XX/XXXX showing he replaced a screw again. XXXX license number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX, Rhode Island XXXX XXXX XXXX is XXXX years old

On or about XX/XX/XXXX, I received notice that some information changed on my credit report from XXXX. I immediately contacted XXXX, to see what this was all about. It appears that a private school by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, claimed that I had an outstanding obligation in the amount of ( {$2000.00} ) XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Dollars. I filed a dispute with XXXX, because I knew that this wasn't my account and it was incorrect because the school closed its doors in XXXX, and changed its name to XXXX XXXX. After the debt validation period with XXXX they removed this fraudulent matter off my consumer credit file. Next, On XX/XX/XXXX the mattered re-appeared on my consumer credit file again ; this time it was a different collection agency., TekCollect, out of XXXX XXXX OH. I contacted TekCollect directly to inform them that this was an improper collection and the account had been removed previously as did not belong to me, and requested that they delete this from my credit file and I would be sending them a request in writing. I further explained to TekCollect, the violation my rights under FCRA ,15 U.S.C. 1681 and the FCRA, the Furnisher Rule 12 C.F.R. 1022.40-1022.43. TekCollect, has engaged in " Debt Parking or Passive Collection '', tactics here. They placed this collection on my consumer credit file first with XXXX, and XXXX. on XX/XX/XXXX and then mailed me a demand letter on XX/XX/XXXX. I have brought this to the companies attention ; along with the fact that this is not my account no response from TekCollect. I sent a certified debt validation letter, demanding a removal of this account from my consumer file and copies of all sign contracts here - no response. I'm a single father of XXXX children, and can't afford to have my consumer file damaged like this. I have been in contact with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ; and they indicated to me that the school closed in XXXX and became XXXX XXXX, which closed in XXXX, and they have no unpaid invoices in my name. Lastly, TekCollect Inc. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, OH XXXX @ XXXX, needs to be stopped from engaging in these type of unethical practices. TekCollect Inc. Has placed this matter on my consumer file under the reference number of XXXX ; and when you call them they say this number is not a valid account number for their company. The XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, also indicate this isn't a valid account number for their organization as well.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a XXXX alert where someone added an address to my credit file that did not match any of the addresses where I stayed or have on file with XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX, Tek-Collect added a collection to my credit file that did not belong to me. XX/XX/XXXX I sent a letter to Tek-Collect requesting they send me any information validating this debt. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX sent me a document from XXXX XXXX XXXX. After carefully examining the document there was the address that was added to my credit report and the person 's birthdate that did not match mine. I responded on XX/XX/XXXX informing XXXX XXXX that the debt was not mine, I never lived on XXXX. XXXX, that was not my doctor and certainly not my birthdate. I did inform him that on XX/XX/XXXX that someone added the XXXX XXXX address to my credit file. After waiting several weeks, I did not get a reply from Tek-Collect and the error remained on my credit file. XXXX and XXXX, after receiving my proof of address, utility bill and valid driver 's license with birthdate, they promptly removed the collection from my credit file. However, this debt remained on XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I file a dispute with XXXX ( confirmation # XXXX ) disputing the address and the debt collection. They asked that I send them a valid driver 's license, copy of my social security card or XXXX form and Utility Bill in my name within 24 hours of my dispute, which I did. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX said 'if they were able to make changes to my credit report based on the information I sent, they have done so. Otherwise, we, ( XXXX ) contacted the company reporting the information to XXXX for them to investigate your dispute. - We request that the reporting company verify the accuracy of the information you disputed ; - We provided them with any relevant information and supporting documentation you provided us with the dispute to consider as part of the investigation and - We request that they send XXXX a response to your dispute and update their records and systems ' As of XX/XX/XXXX, I have not heard from Tek-Collect and XXXX sent all my personal information they requested Tek-Collect and the collection remains on my credit report. Now, I 've found out that my personal information through XXXX has been compromised. I want this debt collection removed from my credit report because it is not mine.

I am being asked to pay a medical debt of {$1500.00} for services that incurred when I was a minor ( XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX ). I didn't sign any paperwork stating that I would be financially responsible for these services because as a minor it would be illegal for me to do so. My Mother did sign the paperwork stating she would be financially responsible for the services I were to receive. She unfortunately did not remain true to her word and left the services unpaid. Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX my mother received a phone call stating that " she had not been receiving statements over the past 2 years because we changed systems. I explained that she has an outstanding balance but that her account is not in collections due to the fact she has not received statements. she said that she is unemployed currently but she agreed to do $ XXXX monthly towards her account sent statement today-tw '' XX/XX/XXXX " Statement was returned today as undeliverable although she verified her address before I sent it. I tried calling but her number is now disconnected. if she does not make payment by next billing I will call again or she will go to XXXX. -- XXXX '' XX/XX/XXXX " XXXX has not made payment since XXXX. Tried calling, no answer. Send to TekCollect - XXXX '' So now this debt has been put on my credit and has been harming my credit score even though it clearly shouldn't. I've talked to the business where I received the services ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) as a minor and they insist that since I'm of legal age now I owe the debt. I also tried to dispute it with the collection agency ( TEK COLLECT ) and they deemed the debt to rightfully belong to me instead of my mother. I firmly believe that this is not my debt but my mothers and I want to make sure this gets removed from my credit report and added to hers. My mother also believes this and has tried to contact the business where the services were rendered to get the debt transferred to her but - they refused to comply and insisted that she could make payments but the debt would remain under her daughter name and social. Also my mother and I share a similar name but you can clearly read that the signatures on all the paperwork is her name and not mine - and the dates when it was signed would have been when I was a minor.

There is an account on my credit profile from TEK-COLLECT with the account number XXXX. I have not received any goods or services from this company. I have never done any business with this company. This company has illegally obtained my Nonpublic Personal Information per 15 U.S. code 6802. For example, my name, social security number, and date of birth. Only a signed contract between me, the consumer, and TEK-COLLECT would make me legally bonded to any debt that they may claim. I have never provided any wet signature or Nonpublic Personal Information to this company on any agreement. Notice requirements Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, a financial institution may not, directly or through any affiliate, disclose to a nonaffiliated third party any nonpublic personal information, unless the such financial institution provides or has provided to the consumer a notice that complies with section 6803 of this title. ( b ) Opt-out ( 1 ) In general A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless ( A ) such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to a such third party ; ( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to a such third party ; and ( C ) the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. I have not received any debt validation notice from TEK-COLLECT as they were lawfully required to provide it to me, the consumer per FDCPA laws. Therefore, I was not rightfully able to dispute this account before they unlawfully caused harm to my consumer report. This is a request for proof of delivery/receipt that TEK-COLLECT has sent a debt Validation Notice to me, the consumer. Written and verbal communication directed via FDCPA was not provided to me, the consumer ; allowing me to properly dispute this invalidated debt.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received notification of an medical bill that was in collections from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, located in XXXX, Texas in the amount of {$1300.00} for my XXXX XXXX Once received, I immediately reached out to the account manangement and advised them to send me the overall history of the accounts that was sent to TEK COLLECT. I advised a young lady by the name of XXXX that this was extremely grueling to receive a collection notice from the hospital knowing that the XXXX was performed without my consent and that I would appreciate a call from management. I advised that I was aware of the No Surprise Care Act being that both of my pets were approved via my doctor. I also advised, that I was aware that the hospital is a XXXX and have a charity fund that assists patients. After no reponse, I sent an additional email stating that the last bill I received reflected XXXX balance however after requesting to speak with a doctor and no response, I had to go through archived files to see any balance. The letter states that the balance owed was done in error leading to the balance of {$310.00}. The next sentence states the balance was {$170.00} stating the payment did not go through. I advised that their facility will ot perform any service unless payment is available and they always charge XXXX percent over the cost for any service in case it costs more. After advising the hospital of this wronful act and the potential legal assistance, they reffered my account over to a collection agency on the XXXX of this month and TEK COLLECT immediately closed the account which violates the FCRA act. Under the FCRA act, the collection agency is obliged to contact you before reporting it to the credit bureaus.

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.

At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX or XXXX ) this action may 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 your company or the company that you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client for the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and Defamation of Character. If your offices can provide the proper documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information, during which time all collection activity must cease and desist. 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 any listing of any information to a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated.

I originally calle d Tek Collect to resolve my debt. I asked to settle the debt and was told that I could not. I then asked her if I had an offer could she go to the client and see if they will accept. She said that she could. I advised her that she had told me a fib and I would call back and talk to someone else. I then spoke with XXXX XXXX I tried to explain the call I had with the previous collector but he kept interrupting me to the point I could not talk so I told him goodbye. I th en called the client XXXX and XXXX XXXX home and offered them a settlement and they accepted it. I went Monday, XXXX / XXXX / XXXX , and paid the bill. I then called Tek Collect b ack to let them know I had paid it and spoke again with XXXX XXXX . I explained to him that because he would not let me talk that I went to the client myself and made a settlement payment and he then told me that I did not hear what I wanted to and that is why I was mad. I asked to have it deleted from my credit, he then told me that he did not believe I made a payment and that I was lying. I asked for his email, he would not give it to me I asked to talk to a supervisor, he told me that we were not playing that game and he refused to transfer me. I told him that he did not verify me, mini XXXX or tell me the call was recorded. I asked again to transfer me to a supervisor he would not. I called back four more time and was either hung up on or transferred to him.

TeK Collect are a 3rd party collection company ( purchased debt from doctor ) for A duplicate service. I had a series of tests conducted by the subject doctor over a period of time including a DUPLICATE TEST that was charged to my Insurance company that REJECTED the billing as being a DUPLICATE TEST! The doctor waited 6+ months before sending me a bill for the DUPLICATE TEST rejected by the insurance. I contacted the Doctor 's office explaining the XXXX [ XXXX XXXX, in error ... during the beginning of the 2nd test I pointed out to the technician that I felt this was a DUPLICATE TEST FOR WHICH SHE RESEARCHED THE RECORDS AND CONFIRMED THE DUPLICATION... but stated since she had already started the test she would procede to complete the test... not to worry! The 3rd party COLLECTION AGENCY = TEK COLLECT INC ignored my DISPUTE and reported the so-called DEBT to the CREDIT BUREAUS which have posted a NEGATIVE 'DEBT COLLECTION '' on my file ... resulting in negatively impacting my application for a MORTGAGE to purchase a home. In addition I sent a CEASE & DESIST letter to TEK COLLECT with c/c to all THREE CRDIT BUREAUS.

XXXX XXXX while I was in my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX l I had to go to the hospital to get some XXXX XXXX done for my XXXX . My dad had paid all dues and bills and there was no issue. On the mistake of XXXX XXXX themselves they charged my me with the bill of {$190.00} that had been paid, being in XXXX I didnt know what a credit report was so I never checked it. Later in XXXX after I had entered the military it was found that I had a collection from XXXX XXXX in NY for {$190.00} still. My dad and I both called and the issue was fixed and the balance was cleared up and they sent letters to the TEK-COLLECT to close the collections account. XXXX at TEK COLLECT said he m ailed letters to the credit companies saying it was cleared up. It never was till I called him months later, this time only XXXX was fixed. Here I am now almost 3 years later and I was just denied from a XXXX XXXX on behalf of the companies not doing their XXXX job. XXXX did not send out the letters apparently to XXXX or XXXX . Today I called XXXX and spoke to their rep and she said they mailed letters and would send some out today as well XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . She assured me it was fixed on their end. So XXXX at TEK COLLECT possibly have ruined my career because of them being incompetent in their job.

1. Tek Collect is attempting to collect a consumer type debt allegedly owed by Plaintiff to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with account number XXXX in the amount of {$530.00} ( the " Debt '' ). 2. Sometime around XXXX XXXX, 2016, Tek Collect sent me a letter attempting to collect the alleged Debt. 3. On or about XXXX XXXX, 2016, I sent a letter to Tek Collect requesting validation of the alleged Debt. In this letter, I stated that I paid the alleged debt in full. 4. On XXXX XXXX, 2016 or about XXXX XXXX, 2016, I sent a letter to Tek Collect requesting that it cease and desist communication from with me since they were repeatedly calling me at work and did not comply with my verbal request to not call me at work. 5. On or about XXXX XXXX, 2016, I obtained my XXXX credit file and noticed that Tek Collect reported the alleged Debt in the amount of {$530.00}. This stated that the date opened was XXXX XXXX, 2016, which is also false as I was first contacted by Defendant prior to XXXX XXXX, 2016. Further, Tek Collect did not flag the alleged Debt as disputed, in violation of the FDCPA. 6. On or about XXXX XXXX, 2016, I obtained another XXXX credit file which again showed that Tek Collect reported an inaccurate balance of {$530.00}, an inaccurate opened date of XXXX XXXX, 2016 and it did not flag the account as in dispute.

There is a collections through Tek Collect that is from my wifes business that was an XXXX that I was not an owner of at all that is reporting just to my XXXX report. The balance actually owed on this account is {$2400.00} which my wife has tried to pay but the business owner has been charging 18 % on the loan for the last 4 years and will not except just the {$2400.00} payment. The business owner has taken a debt that was for a business and in the business name and has switched it from the business name into my wifes name and then into both our names and now only into my name. We have tried multiple times to get this corrected and fixed and now he is showing the debt at our personal address now to instead of the business. We have tried to dispute it through XXXX but we are getting no where with the business owner, collection company or XXXX. We have been in contact with all parties multiple times and either don't get calls back or cant get any straight answer and they just tell us to get an attorney. We have already paid {$1100.00} towards this balance that was owed which is how the balance is down to {$2400.00}. When looking through the documents there are miscellaneous charges to the amount that no one can give us clarification on what the misc charges are for. They are for a couple XXXX dollars each.

I had XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. They gave me a XXXX to wear at the hospital. It was to big and it rubbed on my XXXX. I contacted XXXX and I went to 2 different locations at the hospital to exchange it. I finally had to go to the XXXX XXXX in XXXX. They didnt have a smaller one do they cut the one I had which didnt work either. So I never wore a XXXX so they were going to order a new one but insurance wouldnt cover a 2 nd one and I wasnt able to exchange my original one because they cut it. A month later they said they got the insurance to ok it and then they ordered it. By the time I finally got it I picked it up on my way to my appointment at the XXXX XXXX for my follow up. At that point they told me I didnt need it any longer. It was 6 weeks in between my XXXX and when I got it. I received a bill a month later and I called and the insurance never said they would pay. I called 3 different times trying to resolve this and they would tell me they would look into it and get back to me. Not once of the three times did they get back to me. I tried returning the XXXX being I never wore it. They wouldnt do that. I dont feel it was my responsibility to pay for something that I never was supposed to. I would like this resolved! Thank you XXXX XXXX

Calls began XXXX at my company. Calls come through the receptionist. The caller identified himself as XXXX XXXX he was with the Company TekCollect. My employee explained we were not available to take the call, so he began to ask my receptionist numerous questions concerning our business, my husband & myself the owners. As the calls continues throughout the month, they became more and more rude and completely ridiculous. We were out of the country for 3 weeks on vacation and was checking in with our managers daily. Apparently, XXXX XXXX thought my employees were lying that we were away from the office. XXXX XXXX asked my employee " How it feels to work for a company that can't pay their bills. '' He also proceeded telling her all my personal information concerning this matter with all the case information and even the amount trying to be collected. Which is not her or anyone 's business to know. We are seeking legal advice with this debt issue. Have told XXXX XXXX to stop calling. We have received anywhere between 3 to 4 calls a day. Never being told the call was recorded. We are attaching a call record showing calls received within a month and a half from the number XXXX there was an anonymous number that does not show up and can't track.

I have been contacted during non professional business hours with repeated harassing calls. Most notable was the XXXX calls I received on XXXX XXXX while with family and resulting in disturbance at an Obscene hour. There are codes and conducts outlining professionalism and business conduct which are blatantly being violated by this collection agency in an effort to Harass me and cause my life extreme discomfort for a debt that i am not the owner of. This specific incident occurred on XX/XX/19 and phone records can be requested from cell phone provider. The problem has been on going for months. On XX/XX/19 a call was placed on my behalf to further dispute the collection and the creditor is contacting there customer who fraudulently amended the original bill to reflect my name and address in an attempt to collect monies that I do not owe. The collection company will not accept emails, has no legal team that I can contact and refuses to look at evidence and original bill to the responsible party that I have asked to provide. The collection company says they can only get the info from their customer the business which is committing fraud to collect monies from me unlawfully. Bad business practice and bully tactics to make money. Please help.

I contacted XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX regarding a debt they are reporting as owed for XXXX XXXX College ( XXXX ). I informed them that the debt was too old to still be reporting on my credit report. Representative XXXX XXXX advised me that they were considering the date of last activity to be in XX/XX/XXXX as I filed a bankruptcy which was later dismissed. I informed him that his understanding of the requirements for the date of last activity were mistaken, and that a bankruptcy filing that was later dismissed in no way extends the reporting time. He claimed that although the date they had listed for the debt was XX/XX/XXXX, they would continue to use my XX/XX/XXXX bankruptcy filing as the date of last activity for reporting purposes. Account History : I originally registered for classes with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I then entered into a payment plan on XX/XX/XXXX and made a {$93.00} payment that same day. According to XXXX 's records, it appears that I modified the payment plan on XX/XX/XXXX. There is no indication of any charges/payment arrangements on XX/XX/XXXX as XXXX XXXX alleges. Either way, it has now been greater than seven ( 7 ) years since the date of last activity, which should rightfully be XX/XX/XXXX.

I signed up to take college classes at XXXX college in 2015. When summer/fall rolled around and it was nearing the first day I hadn't recieved a call back about my daycare spot. I called in on XX/XX/2015 to make sure everything was set in stone as school was suppose to start the following day XX/XX/2015. The school notified me that they did not hold the daycare spot for my children so I was forced to cancle the courses I signed up for. Several years later I noticed a collection on my credit report saying I owed them money! I tried contacting the collection agency and the school themselves and also disputed it several times. The collection agency sent me a letter from the school showing their cancelation policy which states if courses are dropped with in so many days of classes starting you will recieve a full refund. Well, I dropped my courses the day before school even started! On top of that their information is not accurate what's so ever. They claim i made some sort of payment to them which I never did that either. I actually ended up taking online classes through XXXX university and never took a single course through XXXX. This has been on my credit report and decreasing my score for quite some time now.

I had one visit with XXXX XXXX in XXXX after which I heard and read reviews that they had a reputation for doing unnecessary XXXX work, fraudulent insurance billing, etc. I moved to a different XXXX, though I settled my bill for my consultation and XXXX.

Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have not received any communications, bills, phone calls, mail, or contact otherwise from either XXXX XXXX or any collections agencies. The first time I knew of this collection was from my credit report, which is a violation of my rights to understand what the bill is for, verify its accuracy and or dispute the collection. I called XXXX XXXX to try and resolve this but the company no longer exists. Tek Collect seems to only offer a sales website so the phone numbers look like they are for companies seeking collection services. I disputed the collection with XXXX - they removed it from my report. However, XXXX will not remove it.

Tekcollect repeatedly calls my work number. I explained to them this is my work number and I can not receive calls at this number. I also expressed that I needed a validation/verification of the debt before I would pay it and that they could send me the information to my address they have on file. The individual who I spoke to was very rude and yelled at me that I should " just pay my bills '' and they won't call me. I reiterated that I was requesting a verification of the debt and would like to see the original documents for the debt and the company will not send them to me. They call multiple times a day, sometimes at XXXX or as late as XXXX XXXX. I have stated that this is harassment. When I told them this was my work number they hung up on me. So I called back to tell them and that is when the " gentleman '' yelled at me. The calls are coming in when I am at work. They're leaving messages where others can hear the message ( this is not a secured voicemail and anyone can access this information ). My coworkers now know I have a medical debt because this company is practicing unlawful debt collection practices.

On XX/XX/2019, I contacted Tek Collect by phone XXXX to pay a debt that is listed on my credit report. I asked to have the debt removed from my credit and advised XXXX XXXX " supervisor '' that I would be paying the debt by credit card. XXXX stated the debt would not be removed if I paid it by credit card it would ONLY be removed if I paid it by certified check or money order. XXXX stated that if it was paid by credit card that it would be reported to the credit agency as paid in full in about 45 days but refused to remove even though it was paid in full ; however if I paid it by cash it would be reported as paid in full and removed from my credit right away.

Dear Sirs : I noticed an account on my credit from a company called Tek- Collect/ Account Number XXXX. I did not have their phone number so I sent them a certified letter disputing the validity of the debt based on the information that was available to me on my credit report. The letter was received- however, it's been 60 days to date and the fraudulent entry remains on my credit. They have yet to contact me and or remove the unknown fraudulent entry. Furthermore, according to my credit report the account states the debt is for XXXX XXXX treatments .... I don't have XXXX/XXXX and no such treatments were ever rendered to me in this regard. If I would have been contacted by this institution in the begining I could have conveyed to him/her they had the wrong person. When in contrast- they placed the debt on my credit without my knowledge. I just so happened to see it on my credit reports. This is also defamation of character and slander. I do plan to take the matter to court immediately .... if it is not resolved in the next 10 business days.

In a letter dated XX/XX/2018, Tek Collect indicated that a collection account they are reporting on my credit for {$510.00} would be removed. The letter stated that this debt " should show removed from your credit histories within 4 to 5 business days. '' As of the date of this complaint, a full 24 days has passed with no change to my credit report with any of the 3 credit bureaus. I have even submitted disputes with the credit agencies to no avail, as the disputes have been closed, affirming the information reported is correct. As per the FCRA, the debt is too old to be reporting on my credit to begin with. Responsibility for this inaccuracy lies not only with Tek Collect, but also with the 3 reporting agencies as it is their responsibility to ensure that the information they report is correct. Simply taking Tek Collect 's word is not ensuring accuracy. This is causing me a serious hardship as I am attempting to finance a vehicle and will remain unable to do so until this issue is resolved.

I've requested Tek Collect to validate the debt in the amount of {$280.00}. Tek Collect sends a statement of services and my patient registration information. This does not constitute validation of the debt they allege owed to Tek Collect. Tek Collect is defaming my character by reporting a derogatory collection account to my credit file. For there to be an enforceable claim all parties must consent to contract. I have never given consent to contract with Tek Collect. I have been asking Tek Collect to substantively respond to the following question : Show me your lawful authority to enforce a debt claim against me to my detriment without my consent. If they will not substantively answer, they must cease and desist and immediately remove any derogatory reporting to the credit bureaus. Further there is discrepancy with the date opened that is being reported. ( please see attached ). Further I am requesting Tek Collect Provide written confirmation this matter has been permanently resolved.

I contacted XXXX in order to obtain documentation and information on my account. However, upon speaking to the manager of my account, XXXX XXXX, I was advised that they would not provide me with anything from them unless I made a payment, signed a piece of paper, took a picture of my signature and sent it to them. Then, upon receiving the image, I was advised, by XXXX XXXX, he would send me an email receipt. I advised him I could not make a payment yesterday and did not feel comfortable sending my signature in that manner. He laughed and said he would not send me anything and when I asked to speak to his manager or someone else he laughed again and stated, No, you will not be able to speak to my manager and my manager does not want to speak to you, call back when you are able to pay, until then, have a nice day ( continuing to chuckle ). When I tried emailing them through there website and social media accounts requesting to speak to someone other than XXXX XXXX, they blocked me.

XX/XX/XXXX using XXXX XXXX as a 3rd Party I contacted Tek Collect, after noticing them on my credit reports attempting to collect for XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had an unsecured loan threw my bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, that loan was paid IN FULL within its time frame by XX/XX/XXXX. I obtained this loan as a XXXX XXXX due to the govt shutdown. There were stipulations on them, and we had to pay them back asap. Under no circumstances should a collection agency ever been contacted regarding my loan with XXXX. So why did Tek Collect show up on my acct in XXXX? Using XXXX XXXX, I requested that Tek Collect remove their tradelines from the credit bureaus, due to my XXXX loan had BEEN paid in full. I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX stating that they had done so. I assumed they notified all 3 bureaus ... in the letter it stated the credit reporting agencies .... I saw their info deleted from XXXX. Later to find out, its still on my XXXX report. Please see all supporting documents.

I have not received any goods or services from this company. I have never done any business with this company. This company has illegally obtained my Nonpublic Personal Information. For example, my name, social security number, and date of birth. Only a signed contract between me, the consumer, and TEK-COLLECT INC would make me legally bonded to any debt that they may claim. I have never provided any wet signature or Nonpublic Personal Information to this company on any agreement. I have not received any Debt Validation Notice from TEK-COLLECT INC as they were lawfully required to per FDCPA laws. Therefore, I was not rightfully able to dispute this account before they unlawfully caused harm to my consumer report. This is a request for proof of delivery/receipt that TEK-COLLECT has sent a Debt Validation Notice to me, the consumer. Written and verbal communication directed via FDCPA was not provided to me, the consumer ; allowing me to properly dispute this invalidated debt.

On XX/XX/2020 I was called by TekCollect about a medical debt that I was not aware of. The representative then insulted me and said I need to " learn how to pay my bills on time. '' When I told him that I was not aware of the debt and that I wanted to proof of the debt he then told me he wasn't going to send me anything and that I just need to pay it. I then told him that he can speak to my lawyer because I felt as if this was a scam. I gave him my lawyers number but he has never reached out to him. He then called me back a few weeks later and I told him again that I wanted this to be deleted off my credit report. He told me to pay the debt even though I had no documentation from his company showing me where this was indeed my bill. He then was very rude and told me he wasn't going to send me anything. The verbal rudeness continued for thirty minutes finally he gave me an email address of a " supervisor '' I emailed the supervisor but I still have not heard back from anyone.

I am receiving repeated calls on a daily basis. When I do answer the call the person on the other end very quickly gets rather nasty and accusatory. I even offered to pay a regular amount with auto deduction but he wasn't interested in setting this up as he proceeded to belittle me for offering this monthly amount that he considered unsatisfactory. During our last conversation, I asked him to remove all of my phone numbers from his list and to cease all calls to me. I requested that he correspond via the mail. He went on to accuse me of ignoring his mail. Quite frankly, I do not even have any record of him ever sending any mail to me. He is mean, rude and uses abusive LOUD language. When I present some information that he doesn't want to hear he simply ignores the comment and talks over me with some derogatory comment or question. I spoke to him again yesterday and asked again that he remove BOTH of my phone numbers. He will not verbally acknowledge this in the conversation.

On XX/XX/XXXX, a company named TekCollect sent me a threatening letter falsely stating I owe {$13000.00} to XXXX XXXX. While XXXX XXXX did perform work for me, all amounts owed by me were paid. There has been no presentation of invoices for the {$13000.00} claim. Nothing regarding any work, all of which was brought to a close in XX/XX/XXXX. Also, the TekCollect letter is titled " Final Notice '' when no notice whatsoever was received prior to this letter. And, the letter includes no supporting evidence, such as invoices, for any amount owed. TekCollect is threatening to ruin my credit record. I called the phone number on the TekCollect letter, and a very young person answered, with " Hello? '' I had to ask if I had reached the TekCollect office -- and it was never made clear if TekCollect actually has an office. Thank you for any assistance you can provide with this false claim.

On XX/XX/XXXX I initiated contact with the collection agency, formally requesting that all further communication cease, as the aforementioned debt lacks validity. In addition to this request, I dispatched an official letter to the designated mailing address, sent via certified mail with a signature requirement. The purpose of this correspondence, dated XX/XX/XXXX, was to request substantiating evidence and documentation pertaining to the alleged debt. It was explicitly mentioned in the letter that I expected a response within 30 days. Despite the passage of the aforementioned 30-day period, I have not received any communication from the agency in response to my letter. In light of the agency 's failure to comply with my request for proof of debt and the subsequent inaction within the stipulated time frame, I feel compelled to report this matter. Furthermore, I must emphasize that the debt remains present on my credit report, as it has not been removed as per the law.

XXXX XXXX did n't provide the service when they visited my property at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, OR XXXX. They generated false invoice asking me money to pay them. I disagreed and asked them to show me evidence of their work. I never agreed to pay them without performing the job. I also suggested them to go to court if they believe I owe them money. They contacted TEK collect ( collection company ) to get the money from me. TEK collect contacted me and I disputed with them. I asked them to have XXXX XXXX show their evidence ( pictures or witness or so ). TEK collect accepted their false invoice as evidence without any regard to investigate more and did n't want to agree to my dispute. I contacted their supervisor about it and reported my dispute. Even then they put my collection to XXXX. I contacted XXXX to dispute. XXXX suggested me to file complaint with FTC and provide them a report of my complaint. I have also attached my dispute with the supervisor at TEK Collect.

I called on XXXX and spoke with a representative on the phone. I was unsure of who the company was that they were collecting the debt for. I discovered it was for a medical debt. The debt is for a bill {$480.00}. The collection I was sent added in their interest charge of {$12.00} making the medical debt now {$500.00}, please note that this interest is not from the medical provider. This debt was not an interest-bearing debt before this company took this debt to collect on it. Also, the state of Missouri does not charge interest on medical debt unless a prior agreement is made and signed off on. Also, the representative on the phone stated that since the company has taken on the debt, it is their interest that they will be charging for handling this debt, which I have not signed nor agreed to. my only option to avoid paying interest or garnering further incurring interest would be to pay this debt in full with the original provider or to pay their {$500.00} in full.

As of today, I have received 4 strikes against my credit by TekCollect Inc, and yet have never received a notice that I owed anything to them. I have never received an email, letter, or to my knowledge a phone call ( unless they are number spoofing ) about any debt owed to them or any debt owed to other that they have acquired and are attempting to collect. I attempted to call them, and their number answering service for people trying to reach them about debt collection automatically indicates that the caller can not contact that number and then disconnects the call. I have no way to leave a message or to reach an agent to resolve the situation. I also believe that the use of aggressive and abusive credit strikes rather than contacting the person they are trying to collect against is a violation of consumer protections. I have received a strike on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX of XXXX, again with no prior contact and no way to contact them to remedy the situation.

The dates of this supposed debt do not match with the dates of me owning the property. I had already sold my property months before when this supposed bill was issued. Furthermore, Service was stopped few more months prior to that even when the property had sold as the new owner was the tenant that was living on the property at the time. I have attempted to pay the debt that I do not owe in an order to restore my credit. However, after reaching out to TEK Collection company, they have stated that they are not able to accept a payment on behalf of XXXX California XXXX XXXX because they agreed that I was not liable. How is it legal to report a collection without being able to accept a payment? This is violating my rights per the FCRA. Not only do I not owe this debt ... .but the company refused to show proof that I owe the debt and they have admitted multiple times that it is uncollectable. I am asking for immediate removal.

About mid-XXXX a door to door salesman came and offered bug-spraying services for out home. He said he would get us a great rate at {$10.00} for the first service and {$25.00} per service for the rest of the year. We agreed and got a charge for {$10.00} to start on XX/XX/2018. Then, a month later on XX/XX/2018 I got a charge for {$89.00}. Since this was well over the {$25.00} promised amount, I immediately disputed the amount above {$25.00} with my credit card company. That dispute was lost and I had to pay, so we refused further payments and services. Now we are getting a bill for {$200.00} which seems exorbitant to me, and very different from the product we purchased. We had 3 total services, so our total paid should have been {$10.00} + {$25.00} + {$25.00} for a total of {$60.00}. I'm not sure where the {$200.00} bill came from, as per our understanding we have paid over the agreed amount already for services received.

After unsuccessful attempts to dispute a debt with XXXX and Equifax, I initially contacted Tek-Collect, the debt collection company on XX/XX/2020. I advised them that the debt was paid in full to the original creditor XX/XX/2020. I provided them with a copy of the canceled check. They said it takes 2 to 3 days to verify and update. I contacted them again today XX/XX/XXXX because Tek-Collect updated dispute investigations with both credit bureaus as accurate and unpaid despite being provided proof of payment for the third time. The representative at Tek-Collect refused to provide a supervisor to discuss this matter with. She requested proof of payment again. She advised that they began working on this matter on the XXXX and still needs more time but had to estimated time for completion. She declined to take proof of payment again after being advised that they have received it several times.

IN RESPONSE TO CFPB:XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 Cushman v TransUnion, Stevenson v. TRW ( Experian ), and Richardson v. Fleet, Equifax et, 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 e-Oscar system that doesnt even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable.

Original creditor was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was renting and filled the 50 gallon tank assigned to my apartment just prior to moving out. I was expecting a credit based on the amount of oil left in the tank upon my departure, but instead my account, with amount due alleged to be {$700.00} to Tek Collect Inc., on XX/XX/2018. I have called said creditor multiple times to attempt to remedy the situation. The last call I made in mid XXXX where I was informed that XXXX had stopped the collections process and said delinquency has dropped off of two credit reporting agencies, however XXXX still reports it as in collections and I am unsure how to proceed in correcting this situation.

Please note my " Validation and Verification '' letter to Tek Collect Inc was received by the company on XX/XX/2019. To this date XX/XX/XXXX I still have not heard any response of an investigation and yet it is still being reported on my credit. This is showing as a " Medical Debt '' and also infringes on my Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA ) privacy. It has been more than 30 days and I request that this debt be deleted as no verification and validation has been done to confirm if this is my debt.

I owed XXXX dollars to my previous dentist. They sent it to a collection agency with wrong contact information, wrong phone number and wrong address. afterwards as I was applying for home mortgage, the bank figured it out and gave me the collection agency phone number. I paid the balance in full the same day. After that I asked the collection agency to remove it from the credit reporting they hung up the phone on me. This is the only incident that negatively affected my credit history all my life.
