I'm at my wit 's end in dealing with a Texas collection agency. Williams, Rush and Associate acquired what they claim is my debt from a previous employer : XXXX XXXX. More than five years ago, I had a modest employee account with XXXX XXXX that was being paid through a payroll deduction. if ... this is the same account the collection amount has been GROSSLY INFLATED. I left the employ of XXXX XXXX ( XXXX, Texas ) in XX/XX/XXXX. I believe any legal collection activity on this alleged debt is well outside of the four year Texas Statute of Limitations. Williams Rush & Associate have contacted me by telephone on numerous occasions and in violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, verbally threatened to : 1. Have my Commercial Driver License Suspended 2. Flag my XXXX report to prevent me from getting another job in the XXXX industry. 3. File suit against me and Garnish my wages ( in Texas? ). 4. Contact my current employer, as well as my friends and family, ( all listed on my original job application ) for the purpose of embarrassing me into doing the right thing. Williams, Rush and Associate have verbally identified themselves as Collection Attorneys representing XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX is quoted online acknowledging that their collection attorneys are very aggressive. Also, on the Williams Rush & Associate Better Business Bureau page they seem to be representing themselves as Attorneys & Lawyers Collection Law.. Williams, Rush and Associates is NOT A LAW FIRM. ( I call anonymously and asked ). It is my understanding that falsely claiming to be an attorney is a violation of the FDCPA. I've sent several detailed letters by registered mail, requesting that Williams, Rush and Assoc. VALIDATE the collection account ( if they were able ) or immediately DELETE the derogatory account. Even before the Statute of Limitations expired on this account, they failed to provide me with an accounting explaining how this debt became so incredibly inflated or any proof of their legal authority to collect this account on behalf of my former employer, XXXX XXXX. While Williams Rush & Assoc. repeatedly ignored my request for validation or verification of this account. When contacted by XXXX and XXXX credit reporting agencies, Williams Rush and Associate continue to verify and update this defamatory and derogatory information on my credit reports. The assertion that they verified the account for the credit bureaus, isn't believable or credible as they have failed to provide any supporting documentation when requested. It is my understanding the Court has determined that the act of verifying and/or updating collection accounts on consumer credit reports are Collection Activities. and are prohibited activities after the Statute of Limitations has expired. Credit reporting constitutes an attempt to collect a debt. See, e.g., XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 145 F.R.D. 614, 623 ( D.P.R. 1993 ) ( a creditors report of a debt to a consumer reporting agency is a powerful tool, designed, in part, to wrench compliance with payment terms ) ; XXXX XXXX XXXX 139 B.R. 700, 701 ( Bankr.S.D. Ohio 1991 ) ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, 973 F.Supp. 1320, 1331 ( D.Utah 1997 ). Subsequent to the Statute of Limitations expiring, Williams, Rush and Associates CONTINUE to access my credit reports, without a permissible reason, a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I recently did some research on XXXX XXXX XXXX, the owner of Williams, Rush and Associates. According to the website XXXX, XXXX XXXX is a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with convictions for : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( numerous offenses ), XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX If this information is correct, I am extremely concerned about pursuing this matter directly with Williams, Rush and Associates. It definitely seems that dealing with XXXX XXXX, already XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX would not be advisable. I'm stunned that XXXX XXXX can even be a debt collector in the State of Texas with his background of violence and financial crimes. Is there no licensing or background verification required before allowing a XXXX XXXX to destroy the financial reputation of Texas citizens? It doesn't take very long ONLINE, to find numerous complaints against Williams, Rush and Associates and XXXX XXXX. Williams Rush and Assoc. DO NOT PLAY BY THE RULES and I can't imagine a way to deal with them without putting myself at an unacceptable risk. At this point, I simply want this incorrect, unverified, defamatory and derogatory information DELETED from my XXXX XXXX and XXXX Credit reports. It is my understanding that the law requires that reported information be accurate and verified within 30 days of a dispute or be DELETED from the credit reports. The collection account reported by Williams, Rush and Associates is the ONLY derogatory item on my XXXX and XXXX Credit Reports and as such, is extremely damaging to my financial reputation. I've read a number of other complaints on the CFPB website and it appears that Williams, Rush and Associates ' response is almost always : " Company believes it acted appropriately as authorized by contract or law. '' This is an unfunny joke, in my humble opinion, this company is an ongoing criminal enterprise and is exactly the type of miscreants that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau should be pursuing. I have dozens of pages of supporting documents, letters, and even XXXX XXXX criminal record if these items are of interest to you, please contact me and I will forward them by " snail mail ''. If you can be of service in this matter, I will be extremely and eternally grateful. If this request is outside of your responsibilities, please refer me to another agency that can assist me. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

To Whom it may concern, In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 U.S.C 1681 & Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 15 U.S.C 1692, Account # XXXX, named WILLIAMS RUSH & ASSOCIATES, has violated my rights. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C 1692c ( a ) COMMUNICATION WITH THE CONSUMER GENERALLY Without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector or the express permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, a debt collector may not communicate with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt ( XXXX ) at any unusual time or place or a time or place known or which should be known to be inconvenient to the consumer. Pursuant to 15 USC 1692d A debt collector may not engage in any conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section : ( 5 ) Causing a telephone to ring or engaging any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with intent to annoy, abuse, or harass any person at the called number. The HARRASING phone calls from WILLIAMS RUSH XXXX ASSOCIATES began around XX/XX/2021. Since then, they have called my phone several times a week, multiple times a day, during work hours from several different phone numbers leaving messages that I still have saved on my phone. I am an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and on multiple occasions I have told them I was busy working, and I can not talk on the phone at that time, yet the associate would continue to engage in conversation with me forcing me to have to hang up the phone. I am usually over the road working for weeks at a time for 12-14 hours a day and my primary phone is also my work phone that my job uses to stay in contact with me. For that reason, I have requested that WILLIAMS RUSH & ASSOCIATES do not call me because they always call while I am working. Pursuant to 15 USC 1692d A debt collector may not engage in any conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section : ( 1 ) The use or threat of use of violence or other criminal means to harm the physical person, reputation, or property of any person. In 2021, WILLIAMS RUSH & ASSOCIATES threatened that they could get my XXXX revoked if I did not settle the alleged debt. They also threatened to contact my current employer regarding the alleged debt in an attempt to have me terminated. They harassed my wife with phone calls to the point that she suffered an XXXX XXXX and needed XXXX XXXX because she feared adverse action from WILLIAMS RUSH & ASSOCIATES due to them threatening my livelihood. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C 1692b Any debt collector communicating with any person other than the consumer for the purpose of acquiring location information about the consumer shall ( 2 ) not state that such consumer owes any debt ; WILLIAMS RUSH & ASSOCIATES has continuously violated my right to privacy by calling multiple family members, including my mother and brother, stating that they are a debt collection agency thus notifying them of the alleged debt. The initial contact between myself and WILLIAMS RUSH & ASSOCIATES was made by phone, not written correspondence despite me making two requests, by mail and by phone, for a written validation of debt. I request validation of the debt over the phone and was told that I could choose to receive validation by USPS mail or email but NOT BOTH. I responded by stating that I preferred the documents be sent via USPS mail, but the agent insisted that I receive the documents via email. The agent finally agreed to send it via USPS mail, but I never received anything. After speaking with them for the final time weeks later, the agent said that WILLIAMS RUSH & ASSOCIATES would be emailing me the documents despite me requesting mail delivery. I reminded her that she told me that I could ONLY have the documents sent to me by USPS mail OR email but not BOTH and I chose USPS mail. She responded, " That's okay '', confirmed my email address, and told me to expect an email of the loan agreement. I STILL have not received adequate debt validation documentation via USPS mail, as requested, for MY PERSONAL RECORD.

On XX/XX/2022 @ XXXX, I called and spoke with an employee of William Rush XXXX XXXX concerning account # XXXX. During our conversation the employee of William Rush XXXX XXXXXXXX violated several statues of the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act. First, before we started discussing the account she never stated that she or her employer was a debt collection agency until the middle of our conversation, also she accused me of breaking the law when she stated that I gave the original creditor the wrong email address on the application and because I didnt update my email address with the original creditor I was further committing a crime. She stated by law I must contact the creditor if the email address on my application has changed. My concern is how does she know I gave the wrong information. Isnt it reasonable to say that the employee of the original creditor entered my information in wrong during the application process? As stated above XXXX XXXX and Associates violated the follow statues : 15 USC 1692e 807. False or misleading representations A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section : ( 1 ) The false representation or implication that the debt collector is vouched for, bonded by, or affiliated with the United States or any State, including the use of any badge, uniform, or facsimile thereof. ( 2 ) The false representation of -- ( A ) the character, amount, or legal status of any debt; or ( B ) any services rendered or compensation which may be lawfully received by any debt collector for the collection of a debt. ( 3 ) The false representation or implication that any individual is an attorney or that any communication is from an attorney. ( 4 ) The representation or implication that nonpayment of any debt will result in the arrest or imprisonment of any person or the seizure, garnishment, attachment, or sale of any property or wages of any person unless such action is lawful and the debt collector or creditor intends to take such action. ( 5 ) The threat to take any action that can not legally be taken or that is not intended to be taken. ( 6 ) The false representation or implication that a sale, referral, or other transfer of any interest in a debt shall cause the consumer to -- ( A ) lose any claim or defense to payment of the debt; or ( B ) become subject to any practice prohibited by this subchapter. ( 7 ) The false representation or implication that the consumer committed any crime or other conduct in order to disgrace the consumer.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called William Rush and Associates concerning a debt that they are reporting on my credit file. I called and spoke with a XXXX around XXXX CST. I asked XXXX if I could make a payment arrangement on the debt that they claim I owe. She gave me XXXX options, XXXX to pay in full ; XXXX to pay a settlement amount ; XXXX to pay 25 % of the original debt and make monthly installments. I told XXXX that I was unable to pay any of the amounts that she had provided and that I was willing to pay {$100.00} towards the debt and make arrangements afterwards. XXXX informed me that if I did not pay the debt by XXXX the following day then she would " advise her client to move forward with theft charges. '' I told her that was unecessary but I still did not have anything close to the amounts that she was requesting for me to pay. She further stated that if she advised her client to move forward with theft charges that there would be an additional {$1500.00} added to the overall debt amount owed. I told her that I did not have that money but I am willing to pay {$100.00} towards the debt and she again told me that I had until XXXX on the following day to pay or she would advise her client to move forward with theft charges. She further advised me that I have credit cards that have {$1000.00} balances, I have a car loan, and I have student loans that were showing paid on time and that I needed to call them and ask for a credit increase and tell my car loan servicer that I needed to skip a payment in order to pay William Rush & Associates. I told her that I only have {$13.00} available credit on the credit card and that I do not have anything other than what I told her I had. She then told me to call my family members, clergy, etc. in order to gather the money to pay. She further stated that I have been attempting to purchase something since XX/XX/XXXX and I needed to pay this debt prior to purchasing something else. I ended the call. Shortly thereafter, at XXXX I called back in hopes I would get a different representative and was connected to XXXX again. I asked her about the payment arrangements options that she had originally given me on the first call and she repeated them. I asked her if there was anyway to pay next week and she stated that I had until XXXX tomorrow in order to pay or she would advise the client to move forward with criminal theft charges. I told her that I did not have that amount to pay and that she did not have to wait until XXXX tomorrow that she could advise the client to move forward with theft charges right away. She said that she would and ended the call.

In early XX/XX/XXXX I received a notice of a collection account placed on my XXXX credit report from Williams, Rush and Associates, LLC at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX. The original creditor is noted as XXXX ( educational ) for a debt from XX/XX/XXXX. This is an unknown account to me so I took steps to dispute the transaction with XXXX. A few days after the appearance on my credit report, I received a phone call at home from the collector. I explained that I was unaware of this debt and had no idea what it was. The agent said a letter had been sent back in XX/XX/XXXX, however, the address they had on file was an address I have not lived at since XX/XX/XXXX. Interestingly, upon further review, I see that Williams Rush had done a soft pull on my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX, which means they would have had access to my correct address as well as the fact that a debt from XX/XX/XXXX should have had the correct address listed with the original creditor. I asked for something be sent to me in writing at my correct address so I can dispute the debt. To date I have received nothing from Williams Rush giving me the opportunity to respond with a validation request. Currently, there is an extended fraud alert placed on all three of my credit reports in late XX/XX/XXXXas it was discovered that someone was using my social to try to obtain credit cards throughout XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. The second call I received from Williams Rush in XX/XX/XXXX, the agent claimed that I would have to prove identity theft with them in order to not be liable for the debt and I would need to file a police report. Per discussion with my local police department, they do not do identity theft reports unless actual theft has been proven, which it has not. I am very frustrated that I can not get anything written or sent to me from this collection agency regarding a debt for me to be able to validate or dispute it. They are also responding to credit report disputes as valid without proof. My research shows that XXXX ( the original creditor ) is a tribal payday lender, who is not licensed to lend in the state of Texas.There are multiple complaints against this company for their illegal practices. I find it very concerning that a collection agency is reporting collection accounts on unproven payday loans on credit reports.

The original utility was XXXX XXXX, this is a 3rd party utility that provides gas supply through the distribution of your typical municipal or private utility owner at supposedly reduced rates. All billing for their service is handled through local utility, which provides distribution and billing and pays XXXX. No payments are provided by the subscriber to XXXX, all billing is handled through XXXX XXXX XXXX ( the local utility distributor ). I moved from a location where i had subscribed to XXXX gas product to a new location where it wasn't offered. I received a large bill from them with a very large cancellation charge. I reached out to them to dispute this based on the fact that i moved to a location where they can't provide their service. They responded by stating they would remove the cancellation fee. This conversation happened over the phone and email confirmation of the actions. This occurred in approximately XXXX of 2022. I never received an updated invoice or bill after this interaction occurred. One year later i receive a collection letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX along with a collection account placed on my credit score. I reach out to them to get a debt verification of the owed amount. They never provided a debt verification. I reached back to to XXXX XXXX to inquire about why this went to a collection account and to address it directly with them. They provided an outstanding balance that included the high cancellation fees. I sent them the communications where they removed the fees. They apologized and provided me an updated amount without the fees. I paid this amount. I reached out to the collection agency and showed them my communications, showing that i paid the outstanding balance. For months, the collection agency, XXXX XXXX, has stalled and refused to acknowledge my payoff to the original utility. All of my communication results in them stating that they need to confirm they amount with original utility. I have multiple email communications stating i am paid in full, which they are unwilling to accept as fact. I still have a collection account on my credit report.

Began calling on XX/XX/XXXX, called me 3x and left messages not informing me of what they wanted, but demanding I call immediately ( messages are saved ), called my father and lied about who they were on XX/XX/XXXX as well as claiming I gave them permission to contact him and called me still not leaving info on who they were the same day. I called and left a message on XX/XX/XXXX telling the callers not to contact my family and to stop claiming they had permission from me as they explicitly did not have permission to contact anyone other than myself and after a brief time I spoke to XXXX that same day who was rude and threatened to sue me, garnish my wages and said they had already damaged my credit by filing twice on my credit. She initially would not tell me who she was or what it was for until I confronted her when she admitted it was for a 3yr old debt to a school I went to. She claimed I owed over {$200.00} and I said I would contact the school and handle it directly with them. This call should be recorded as she claimed it was. I spoke directly to the school they claimed they were collecting from and was told I had no debt, after pushing for more information from XXXX I was informed I did have some books I owed money on and that the debt may have been sold. I requested to handle it directly with them since the company was claiming I owed more than what the school was and due to the harassment. The school said they would contact me via email or phone to confirm I could pay them directly. Contacted my sister and lied about who they were as well as also telling her I gave them permission on XX/XX/XXXX after I had already told them to stop harassing my family. I received more calls on the XX/XX/XXXX myself as well as the XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. The company also harassed my aunt on XX/XX/XXXX and refused to identify themselves to her. At date I have not heard back from the school and have refused all further contact with the debt collectors. I'm happy to pay my books off, but not to the company that is harassing me and my family.

A debt collector named WILLIAM RUSH & ASSOCIATES has been in contact about an alleged debt. There is no contract between XXXX XXXX and WILLIAM RUSH & ASSOCIATES. There has been no proof as to why I am being contacted. WILLIAM RUSH & ASSOCIATES has only shown me an alleged contract from another company and no where on this paper is WILLIAM RUSH & ASSOCIATES listed. To have have my non public identifying information, such as my Social Security Number and my phone number is an invasion of privacy. I have never given consent to receive any correspondence from WILLIAM RUSH & ASSOCIATES. I have also given notice to XXXX about this identity theft. I submitted my identity theft report to XXXX with a statement that this account is a result of identity theft. I also requested block on said information which is my right pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 ( a ). The fraudulent account was never blocked and I never received notice of why such a block was not done. I demand a debt validation as it pertains to the FCRA from WILLIAM RUSH & ASSOCIATES, with a wet ink signature. If this can not be I demand the removal of WILLIAM RUSH & ASSOCIATES from my credit report. I demand XXXX to send a description of the procedures that were used to verify this alleged debt. If this can not be proven I demand the immediate removal of this fraudulent acct. I may add, the date on this alleged contract is in XXXX of XXXX, but doesn't start reporting until XXXX of XXXX. The law states that selling a defaulted note ( no matter who's note it is ) is illegal and both the seller and purchaser are criminally liable.

On XXXX XXXX I received an alert that a collection account had been posted to my XXXX account. I went onto my XXXX account to find that a debt collection company called Williams Rush and Asso llc had posted an account for an auto loan I had co signed on a couple years ago. The orig. Lender had posted info as to balance, type and responsibility, But the debt collector gave false information. Listed type as EDUCATIONAL, Responsibility as INDIVIDUAL, Balance XXXX HIGHER than posted the day before from original. This debt collector, to date has not contacted me by any means, so I disputed this information and supplied documents to XXXX XXXX to prove BALANCE, TYPE and RESPONSIBILITY. To my surprise within a couple days transunion had posted their findings without even receiving the documents I had mailed yet. The finding was " meets FCRA requirements '', case closed. Then along came XXXX and disputed with the same outcome. I provided copies from original creditor as well as copies of credit reports showing what original creditor put on credit reports up to the week of the change from original creditor to williams rush and asso.to both CRA 's. This collection is totally believed by CRA 's and they can list anything they want to. Due to type of income I have I am worried that this collection agency used EDUCATIONAL as type of loan to try and freeze my bank account. The findings leave me to believe that this collection agency can pretty much lie and its okay.

To Whom It May Concern, The reason for my dispute is WILLIAM RUSH & ASSOCIATE # XXXX was required to notify me no later than 30 days after furnishing the negative information to credit bureau reports, in writing ... under such section 623, subsection ( 7 ) ( A ).

I got a federal loan for school, I quit 2 weeks after starting, the school refunded almost the full loan back except for the portion for the 2 weeks which im working with my original provider for payments. I was n't aware that the school itself was charging me for the loans they refunded and they sold the debt to a debt collector called William Russian associates. The very first day I spoke to them they told me they have a pending case against me to garnish my wages and if I want to prevent them from going forward with the case I would have to pay the a down payment of {$1800.00} and monthly payments of {$370.00}, I spoke to them at XXXX and they told me I had until XXXX. the same day to make a payment of atleast {$500.00} towards the down payment or else they were going to take me to court to garnish my wages. I told them I was willing on paying the debt but I could n't afford what they were asking, they never took any type of financial assessment to help put me on a payment arrangement they did n't care that I did n't have the money or that I was willing to pay they only cared about getting the amount of money they asked for by the time they gave me. I feel like that 's really unfair treatment especially since im willing to pay and that was the first time I ever heard about owing that debt and they want to make it so I cant afford my basic living expenses because they do n't want to work with me.

Around XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Williams Rush & Associates LLC, contacted my mother whom resides in a different state than me, discussing information for a debt they claim that I owe them. My mother passed the message onto me right away after they told her they would revoke my XXXX XXXX license. I reached out to them via telephone as soon as I got the message. After, receiving nothing but demands, threats, and unprofessionalism I ended the phone call in told them I would prefer to communicate via mail correspondence. Since XX/XX/XXXX up until XX/XX/XXXX I have been sending certified mail correspondence requesting more information seems to they had already put a {$3000.00} debt collection on my credit report. For months they failed to reply to my letters within a timely manner up until today XX/XX/XXXX in which they still failed to provide me the information requested. Instead, they sent me only a contract from they original creditor whom I no longer hold a contract with or owe any monies. It has been well over 120 days I have been patient with them in they failed to comply by any of your federal laws. This is an act of Defamation, a Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( including but not limited to Section 807-8 ), and a Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( including but not limited to Section 623-b ).

The date of the infraction was XXXX XXXX, I have file many disputes asking for validation of this account # XXXX from Williams Rush and Associ. Pursuant to 18 USC 8, I owe no debt. This company is violating my consumer right to privacy pursuant to 15 USC 1681b 2. Company also has NO permission to report ANYTHING using my info pursuant to 15USC 1681 4. The FCRA ( federal law ) says that as a consumer, you are legally allowed to challenge the validity and accuracy of these hard inquiries. And when you challenge these inquiries, it's called opening a dispute. The company pulling your credit must provide documented proof, for example a document with your signature on it, that you authorized and provided consent for the hard inquiry. If they fail to provide this documentation, then XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX must remove these inquiries from your credit report. Consumers have a right under the FCRA to challenge information in their file that they believe is incorrect. Consumer reporting agencies are required to investigate claims that there is inaccurate information, and when information is proven to be inaccurate, agencies must correct the mistake. I am asking for proof of a contract with my signature that shows I have a legal binding contract with Williams Rush and Associ. I have also file a dispute with FTC in this matter.

XXXX XXXX sold account to William Rush and Associates ( amount unknown ) 3. Williams Rush reported to Credit Bureaus XX/XX/XXXX. 4. I contacted XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to inquire, why they had the account, and that I had not received any notice from them. 5. I received telephone call from Ms. XXXX, and although I had questions about the amount owed, I offered to pay 1/2 of the debt in order to reverse the 61 points decreased from my credit score. I stated that this was a one time offer, and I was not in the mood for Debt Collector games ( this money was coming out of my social security check ). Ms. XXXX stated that she would check with the original creditor to get ok. She then call me back about a week later and indicated the original creditor denied my offer. ( Game number one ) 6. On XXXX XXXX I mailed letter requesting original documents verifying the amount owed etc. ( see enclosed letter. ) 7. The attached documents show I paid a total of {$580.00} to XXXX XXXX. This proves the original amount borrowed was paid, if they are now claiming interest etc. I need to see the original documents signed by me authorizing such an amount.

Williams Rush and Associates as continued to contact me harass me in regards to an account that XXXX sales and lease charged off. I have since then paid the debt with the arbitration company that hired. Williams Rush and Associates are claiming to be attorneys and they have threatened to have me arrested for theft of merchandise and I have told them the debt was settled in which they could see own their end. I believe that XXXX sold all of my accounts to Williams Rush but only provided XXXX account number because they both have provided the same total amount due. then XXXX is who I settled all charges with and they told me I do not owe their client at this time I also shared what was going on with Williams rush and Associates and they asked me to contact the attorney generals office and I did. I do n't think it is fair that these companies and call and disguise themselves as attorneys and leave threats and harassing voicemails on someone 's phone especially when the debt has been settled. then posted the account to my XXXX credit report while XXXX was reporting the accounts as charge offs. They are not right at all and should their business should be shut down.

On XX/XX/XXXX they contacted me but before that they contacted my parents on XX/XX/XXXX. The company is Williams Rush & Associates LLC and they claim to have a debt I need to settle that is XXXX dollars. However I asked for the proof of debt via the phone call we had and they sent a document that had been modified to be XXXX. It was even in different writing and was a marker instead of a pen which is what I used to write on it. I immediately emailed back that this was not the original that I signed and it was a fraudulent document. Whoever that signed it after me I'm sure is the one who crossed it out to be a higher amount. I then told them after another phone call on the XXXX that I do not owe this debt because it is modified without my consent or awareness until it was sent to me. They then dinged my credit the next day XX/XX/XXXX and they put an amount on my report stating it was now XXXX dollars which is confusing since even the modified contract they have to show says it's XXXX percent interest and I left XXXX XXXX in XXXX so how did it get to that amount? They are ruining me for something that is not mine and it is hurting me mentally

Williams , Rush & Associates LLC are calling me and identifying themselves as the XXXX XXXX division of credit. They are not who they say they are and I have filed a complaint with a lawyer who is seeking damages plus legal fees on my behalf. The company does not identify themselves as a debt collector until they intimidate me by saying I will be arrested or other infractions will happen to me if i dont pay this outstanding debt. The debt is a result of disenrolling from a school too late leavin me with a balance at the school level. They were served in XXXX with Federal Case # XXXX. They were told to cease calling and idenifying themselves falsely. They apparently have ignored the document because they are calling me more and more. I have all the messages recored on my voice mail server. They are an intimidating firm. My lawyer thinks they have no regard for the law because they are ignoring what they were served with.

This is a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) of the FDCPA. This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address. I am requesting that Williams Rush and Associates provide me with competent evidence that I have any signed binding contract giving Williams Rush & Associates legal obligation to collect and alleged debt. Without any prior written notice from Williams Rush & Associates, my credit was adversely impacted. If this agency continues to report invalidated information to the three major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX ), this action might constitute fraud under both federal and state laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark from Williams Rush continues to report on any of my credit reports by your company or the company you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against Williams Rush & Associates.

I have been disputing this account with the credit bureaus for sometime now. Each time they would say that WILLRUSH would verify the debt. So I took it upon myself to ask WILLRUSH for validation of the debt. Are they legally able to collect on the debt? How did they calculate the amount they claim I owe? How do they know I am the owner of the debt? Im curious because I have never done business with them or the original creditor. Well, it has been more than 30 days and I still have not received anything proving the debt is mine. They received my letter on XX/XX/2021. Here is the tracking XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was under the impression that if they didn't respond it would automatically deleted from my credit reports. Silence is being in agreeance. I am sure there is a law that proves it.

I was in contact with the debtor on a recorded call from their phone line. The debtor made very misleading statements to me. The debtor told me that my debt would stay on my record past the 7 year standard set by the CFPB because of the nature of the debt. She also threatened litigation. Her manner was very unpleasant. I believe that she made intentionally false statements in order to deceive me and under the FDCPA in order to attempt to get me to pay the debt.

I told them to sue me and make sure I am served so I can come to court they told me they do n't have to serve me. They still never filed a suit against me.

Disputed a debt collection on my credit report regarding an account I have never opened nor have any knowledge of. I have requested written verification or any type of verification and have not received any response. When disputed, after a brief investigation, they simply responded that the debt was mine. As this is clearly not my debt coupled with the refusal to provide any documentation I demand this be removed from my report immediately.
