Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX I received a collection notice from I.C. Systems, Inc. trying to collect a debt from XXXX. The letter was in my name but sent to an address I have never been to or lived at, then crossed out & forwarded to where I do live. I tried to contact them to resolve this & got no where. I have since received more letters, the latest XX/XX/2016. I called I.C. Systems on XX/XX/XXXX AGAIN, spoke to XXXX. She informed me I needed to call XXXX, which I did. I spoke to XXXX at XXXX, he looked up the account & verified that neither my ID, social security nor my address matched what they had & felt that I.C. Systems is sending this to the incorrect party. He instructed me to call I.C. Systems back & relay this info & tell them they need to stop contacting me since they are not doing their job correctly and if not I should file a complaint against them. Approx. XXXX., I called I.C. Systems back & spoke to XXXX. He was very adamant about not wanting to hear my explanation & said it was out of their hands, that XXXX was handling it. I told him that was false, I just got off the phone with them & would like them to stop sending these & he preceded to hang up on me.

Consumer Complaint: IC System is reporting a debt of {$380.00} from XXXX under my name to XXXX credit reporting agencies -- XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. Unaware of such an account, I requested that IC System send me specific information pertaining to this debt under Texas XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( see attached letter XXXX. According to XXXX XXXX, when requested, a debt collection agency or credit bureau must provide the alleged debtor with specific validation information concerning their alleged debt within XXXX calendar days. The debt validation request was mailed via XXXX Certified Mail with Return Receipt on XX/XX/2016 and received by IC System on XX/XX/2016. IC System has been given more than XXXX calendar days to provide a timely response, but has failed to respond at all. Per XXXX XXXX XXXX d ) ( XXXX ), failure to respond to the request within XXXX calendar days, or failure to validate the debt, requires IC System to delete their tradeline from all credit reporting agencies. In addition, since receiving a request for validation, IC System has submitted a " XXXX '' remark to the credit reporting agencies ; an action that I did not request. I merely requested more information about an alleged debt, which is fundamentally different from disputing such debt. IC System took it upon themselves to report a dispute that I did not request. IC System is not only attempting to collect a debt that they can not or have not validated, but their collection practice is irresponsible. This feels like a bullying tactic to ( XXXX ) make a person feel guilty about requesting more information, and ( XXXX ) indirectly provide that person with the negative consequences of having a dispute remark on their credit reports, such as the potential ability to obtain future credit or loans.

Consumer Complaint: I asked for verification of the debt within the 30 day window of first being contacted. The collection agency then mailed me what they considered the verification information. I then wrote them again, asking for more information about the alleged debt while I investigated myself. They reported the collection to the credit reporting agencies within one week later, without me even having the opportunity to rectify the debt with it damaging my credit.
