Consumer Complaint: Enhanced Recovery Co had contacted me multiple times in regards to a debt I have no clue about nor had any involvement in. They consistently called in times inconvenient for me. I had sent them a debt validation request and everything requested was ignored instead they sent me a bill and what looks like what would be a contract to agree to pay them. I will attach the first debt validation letter sent by me with proof of it being sent via certified mail. I will also attach their invalid response to my request listed with violations made by them and an affidavit of truth sent by me on XX/XX/21.

Subissue: Debt was result of identity theft
Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with a representative from ERC regarding an alleged XXXX balance of {$1400.00}. When the packet was received I called and informed ERC the information shared was fraudulent. The signature provided within the documentation was not my signature and I did not make the purchase on the date indicated in the XXXX documentation. ERC informed me that they would follow up and send me information on how to dispute the fraudulent information. As of XX/XX/XXXX I have not received that information to dispute this information. I filed another complaint with XXXX and FTC due to the negligence in the reporting of this debt without proper verification that this debt is valid. Upon receipt of the documentation it was confirmed that this debt is in fact fraudulent and should not be reported on my credit history. Please see the attached signature page sent to me by ERC. This is NOT my signature and should be be able to validate this debt as ERC has continued to pursue from me. Please note that ERC is not the original creditor and they are not the 1st collections this debt has been sold to. ERC refuses to provide the information as to where/who they bought this debt from. This would show that the timeframe as reported by ERC is inaccurate and that despite all else they do not have the right to continue to pursue me for this debt. I am also filing a complaint in the manner of how this debt continues to negatively impact my credit when it is sold to another collection agency. ERC incorrectly reports this debt as being 3 years old and that is not valid. I first began disputing this XXXX account on my credit history in XX/XX/XXXX. During that time I was denied the opportunity to receive a copy of the final bill and contract showing my signature where I had made the purchases totaling the amount referenced on my credit report. I filed disputes with all 3 credit bureaus. XXXX informed me in XXXX that they are unable to provide any assistance as the account has been closed. This account has affected my credit due to ERC not providing me with the requested documentation to dispute this account on fraudulent terms. This account should not continue to be reflected on my credit history due to inaccurate account closure/opening date, as this account has been sold to several different collection agencies over the past 6 years. Each new collection agency then reports the account as " new '' and that new report negatively impacts for credit as though the account was new and recently placed into collections.

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