Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:I would like to clarify a few points regarding my efforts to address this issue:
Dispute of Debt and Request for Documentation: Contrary to your statement, I have previously attempted to resolve this matter by requesting documentation related to this debt. I have also informed your office that this debt does not belong to me, yet I have not received any documents proving its validity or explaining the charges. This lack of response has prevented me from verifying the legitimacy of the debt.
Willingness to Contact Agent: As per your recommendation, I will contact your agent at the provided number to discuss the account. However, I would like to reiterate my request for specific documentation proving the debts validity before any further steps are taken.
Credit File Impact: I am concerned about the effect of this unresolved issue on my credit report. If ***** confirms that no valid debt exists or that this matter should not impact my credit, I request that it be removed promptly.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope to resolve this promptly and amicably.Sincerely,
**** *****Business Response

there is no record of any previous attempt to resolve this mater with MetCredit, perhaps you attempted to do so with the previous collection agency to whom ***** had sent your file. While we can appreciate that you claim this debt does not belong to you ***** is claiming otherwise. We have requested the documentation from ***** to support the debt and will forward it to you directly once we have received it from *****. If it is determined by ***** that is debt is not valid then we will promptly remove it from your credit report.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:Thank you for your continued assistance in this matter. I am writing to provide an update and clarify my position further.
1. **Direct Contact with MetCredit**: I am currently in communication with **** *******, Vice President of MetCredit, regarding the disputed debt. Mr. ******* provided a copy of the service agreement and invoices associated with this debt, which I reviewed. However, the documentation does not contain my initials or signature and is not associated with me, confirming my belief that this debt has been mistakenly attributed to my account.
2. **Absence of Supporting Documentation**: The service agreement and invoices from *****, which were provided by MetCredit, do not include my initials or signature, further supporting my assertion that this debt is not mine.
3. **Request for Credit Report Correction**: Given that the documents lack any evidence linking this debt to me, I have formally requested from MetCredit that this entry be removed from my credit report immediately and that all collection efforts cease.
4. **Confirmation and Resolution**: I request that MetCredit promptly confirm in writing that this disputed account will be removed from my credit report and that no further collection actions will take place.
I hope this will be resolved swiftly, and I appreciate the BBBs support in ensuring this matter is handled properly.
Thank you for your assistance.

My mother, ****** *******, has been receiving constant calls from Metcredit since January 2024. She initially declined the calls, believing that the calls were from spamers. Eventually, she provided me with her phone and I noticed numerous messages. I promptly returned the call on number provided in the messages. My mother is unable to communicate in English so she gave me authority to discuss the issue. While talking to the customer representative on the phone I got to know that they are talking about some ***** bill that is not paid by her, My mother is living with me since we moved to ****** and have never lived in the address that Metcredit team is telling us about. My mother is totally unaware of the ***** service that they are talking about, My mother never signed a service agreement with ***** and we are certainly not sure why Metcredit is calling and the amount they told us is almost **** dollars. And Metcredit is claiming that this ***** service is from 2021 and is under ****** **** ******* but in 2021 my mother was living with me at our current residence. Now as we have called them and they are demanding the money to be paid as soon as possible and they have also made by mother's credit score bad. I am not sure if it is a genuine company and if it is why did not they look into the information properly and provide us with the documents in the mail. If you want to know my mother's ** year address history we will be able to provide you with that when requested. Can your team please look into this request and help us as my mother do not have any idea about any ***** accout she opened. Our current address is *************** and also the ***** connection is under my wife's name. Lastly I would like to request you that please help us as we are unaware of the services and have not signed any contract with the company. We do not have any account number or documentation regarding this service. If you need further info please email me at **************************Customer Answer

Thank you for the additional information. After reviewing the file I see that you had a conversation with our staff and told our them that your ****** ****** opened the account in your mothers name. In order to have this account removed from your mothers name she will need to report to the police that ****** ************ opened the account in your mothers name.Customer Answer

We did had a chat with the agent and ******** name came up. We were assuming that ****** might have lived in that house, but we were not sure. ****** is currently in *****, we did talk to ****** over the phone about the address and she told us that she lived there for few months only and is not sure about the address as it was almost * years ago. She is currently using the Telus internet services under same email address and phone number but Telus have never mentioned about any unpaid bills. On the other hand ****** also told us that she already paid all the telus bills from her previous addresses, she is saying that how am I able to go back * years and get the bank statement for the payment. And also the Metcredit representative told us that they have already made ******** credit bad and if ****** does not pay the bill further action will be taken against her. The Metcredit Representative also told us even if Balbir pays the bill her credit will remain bad. All we are asking from Metcredit is to send us the copy of the contract that was signed by either ****** **** ** ****** ***. Usually if the Telus bill is not paid for * months, Telus will discontinue the service and will send the final bill. And also the Telus monthly bill is approximately $*** and the Metcredit is saying that the amount is approximately $****. Not sure how they are calculating the amount.
Over main concern is, if Metcredit was having ******** contact information since 2021, then why they did not called or messaged her in 2021. Why Metcredit waited for * years to raise the concern and decided to reach out to ****** in 2024. Metcredit reflected this unpaid bill on Balbir's credit without even reaching out to her in the early stage.Initial Complaint
