Complaint ID: 6802186

Date Received: 2023-04-07

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: I have NOT been in contact with this company except to file a complaint via CFPB. I asked the company to provide a ( Debt Validation Letter ) signed contract by me proving that they have a legal right to collect on this debt. More importantly to provide the original contract signed by me, authorizing the original company to sell the debt to a third-party collection company. My legal rights are being violated by this Collection Agency because there is no contract signed by me proving a business agreement and they have not provided me with the Original signed contract with my authorization. Reporting a debt without a legal agreement is in direct violation of my rights as a consumer.
