  It has been more than a month that I had sent *** a debt validation letter requesting them to provide me with a proof that the 2 collection account debts that they have placed on my credit report actually belong to me (I have attached that letter below). However, *** has failed to respond to my letter. My mail was sent as registered mail through *********** and it tracking number was - RN874830041CA and it was delivered on 20th February. The alleged collections accounts in question are - I- Claim no - ***********, Original creditor - CBV PURCHASR ************* *** HORTONS, Original Account no - ****************, Balance - $518.96 ii- File number - ***********, Original Creditor - Fido, Original Account - *********, Balance: $495.25 AS CBV has failed to reply to my request and provide me with any proof that the alleged debt belongs to me, I request that *** not only remove these alleged collections of my credit report, but also compensate me for the damage they have inflicted on my credit score for many months now. I will file a dispute with the credit bureau and highlight their non-compliance with consumer protection laws. It has infringed on my consumer rights and is not even responding to my mails with any answer which shows they clearly don't have any proof that the debt belongs to me and have failed to show me what they say I owe them is for. I will send them a separate mail in this regards and I hope they finally respond to my requests as they aren't concerned with the plight of consumers it seems leaving me with no other option than taking a legal route.

  my spouse started receiving threatening letters and calls from this company starting back in 2021, over a ***** account that is a complete fake. they are trying to collect on "behlaf" of ****** and neither my spouse nor myself have EVER had an account with ****** she has blocked calls, and i guess in doing so they have now reformed to contacting me.. i have never had a ***** account and neither my wife or myself are in any way liable for the scam they are trying to pull. ***** account in question when contacting ***** directly has never existed...when i contacted *** directly on the phone they hung up on me when i requested the original creditor bill with my or my spouses name on it. which legally they have to provide within one business week. demands for payment keep showing up in the mail now to both her and in my name.. however nothing on either of our credit reports concerning this account.... just another ********** company trying to take advantage of people who are not educated enough to know better.

  I am rejecting this response; pushing the blame to a 3rd party outsource is no excuse for the frustrations, financial burden to speak with a lawyer, and arguments between my spouse and myself that this has caused.
  
  How many other people getting scammed into paying a fake account because of the threatening letters or the absurdly rude and aggressive tactics your call center employees use? it is simply a joke, in the manner this business is run. Prey on the uneducated to scam them out of monies they probably don't have to begin with, falsifying account numbers to make them think they actually owe you.

We are hired on behalf of the original creditor to assist consumers with delinquent/overdue accounts and provide solutions. Please be advised that the consumer can contact the original creditor for further information or seeking to file a dispute.

  I am rejecting this response because you are just re-stating a response you had given before. if you look back on my original post, you'd see the account in question NEVER existed with ****** and that my spouse OR myself have never held an account with ***** to top that off. you then jumped to blaming a third party outsource, and are now turning full circle, trying to implicate that i am in the wrong..... your company needs to be investigated for fraud, and theft of innocent peoples monies by giving fake account numbers. the rudeness and aggressive scare tactics your company, or outsourced ***** companies use is appalling..

  Thank you for your communication.
  
  Please be advised that *** does not have the ability to create accounts and is only hired on behalf of its original creditor as a solution provider. The information that *** would have received referencing the consumer would have been derived from ****** If the consumer truly believes that the file does not belong to them, then we strongly advise that the consumer contact the original creditor and advise that a ***** file was opened without their knowledge and believes that they are a victim of fraud. Additionally, the consumer can also file a police report and advise that they believe they are a victim of fraud. The consumer should also provide any supporting documentation referencing their claim to the original creditor/police department. A thorough investigation would need to be done to determine.
  
  We have provided the consumer the next steps to handle. As of this time, *** considers this matter closed.
