I am writing to dispute the account associated with account number ********* that ********************** has reported to the credit bureau under my name, ****************************. I had no knowledge of this account prior to discovering it on my credit report. In addition, I do not believe the debt collector has the legal standing to collect from me in the first place. Despite my request for debt verification under the ***** Finance Code, I did not receive a response within the mandated 30-day period, causing statutory and actual damages, particularly due to continued collection activity.Business Response

I want to assert that I am not liable for the debt that is linked to THE BUREAUS **** as there has been no contractual agreement between us. It is essential to emphasize that I have not willingly entered into any financial obligations with them. Furthermore, in my effort to address this issue appropriately and transparently, I made a formal request to *********** NATIONAL ASSOCIAT for the provision of the original contract relevant to this particular debt. Regrettably, despite this request, they have not fulfilled my inquiry by providing the requested documentation. This lack of transparency and cooperation from *********** NATIONAL ASSOCIAT has added to the complexity of the situation, making it necessary for me to seek further assistance and clarification to resolve this matter effectively.========================================================THE BUREAUS *** 416923XXX opened on May 15,2023 Higher credit $3,779,Business Response

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
