      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. 

      This company did not address my concerns. They continue to call me and harass me regarding an account that I never had a contractual agreement signed with them. I am asking for a deletion of any accounts including my likeness regarding the account they continue to mark as owed with them.

      Regards,

      ******** *****

      The consuner specifically asked for 2 things 1. Proof of the debt.  In order to provide that we must have the documents from the original creditor which have been requested. 2. a breakdown of the debt to include an itemized statement.  We provided the consumer an itemized breakdown of the charges in June of 2024 when the validation notice was sent to the consumer.   A more detailed itemization will come with the documents from the original creditor, which will be sent to the consumer once we receive them.  I have placed this account in a dispute status untill the documents are received, this will stop contact attemps and report to the credit bureaus that the consumer disputes these charges.

      I not liable for this debt with INTELLIRAD IMAGING. I dont have contract with this FINANCE SYSTEM OF RICH, they did not provide me with the original contract as I requested.

      We have 2 accounts in our office for collection for this consumer.  The first was placed on 03/01/2023 and the second on 06/21/2023.  To date we have had no contact with this consumer.  On 7/8/2024 we processed a credit report dispute from the consumer.  After completing our meaningful investigation, we concluded that the account in question is accurate and the balance is due.  We have updated the account as being disputed on the consumer's credit report.  There is no contract required between a debt collector and a consumer.  Our contract is with our client Intellirad Imaging. If the consumer can provide more information as to why the balance is not due, we can research that.

      This consumer has the wrong company.  ******* Communications is not one of our clients. Based on the consumer's  address this should probably be addressed with Finance System of *********, we are Finance System of Richmond.  There is no coprorate affiliation.

      I'm not liable for this debt with ******************************, I do not have a contact with FINANCE SYSTEM OF RICH, they did not provide me with the original contract as requested.

      Business Response

      Date: 12/08/2023

      Thank you for bringing this complaint to our attention.  I have investigated this complaint and my findings are as follows.  The consumer has attempted to have this removed from her credit report numberous times, appromimately 15 times.  No valid information has been received for us to justify removal.  We received the account for collection on 06/28/2022, and the initial reporting to the credit bureaus was done on 6/16/2022.  On 9/21/23 we received a letter of dispute from the consumer. The dispute letter contained no valid reason as to why the debt would not be owed.  The consumer requested documents that are outside of the validation documents, however we provided all legally required documents to validate the debt to the consumer.  This dispute response was mailed on 10/4/2023 and included an itemized statement from the original creditor.  The account was also marked as disputed on the consumer's credit report, and still is.  As of 12/8/2023 this account is accurately reported on the consumer's credit report.
