This complaint is regarding an account **********************, LLC is reporting under account #*****************, with a balance of $714.98 and an open date of 3/10/2025. I dispute the validity of this debt and have never entered into any contractual agreement with Credit Control, LLC.I sent a written request for verification, including documents showing a legal right to collect or report this account. They failed to provide any supporting documents or evidence within the required timeframe. Their lack of response is a violation of both the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).This unverified collection has severely impacted my creditworthiness. I have experienced stress, financial disruption, and lost opportunities due to false or unproven information being reported. Ive been denied credit and my reputation as a responsible borrower has been unfairly damaged.If Credit Control cannot produce proper verification within 14 days, I am demanding that this collection be immediately removed from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Written confirmation of deletion must be provided to **** am also filing a complaint with the ************************************ and will consider legal action if this is not resolved promptly.Business Response

Have gotten several request since last September 2024 from six different companies stating they are debited collectors on account of cabelas club ****1487 that is. It was not our account or number. We have stated this is not or has ever been our account. ******* **** closed our account after numerous years with them due to we think a fraud /suspious complaint filed by use on the account we did have but not this number. We have asked for verification of debt with more than just a statement which is our right under the law FDCPA that states it has to include more than just a statement This can be produced easily by a scammer and information on this original correspondence didnt match to attached document sent when it returned. As well as the original creditor is not a company or one we had card with. So we have actually never gotten verification it is our debt. To which it is not our debt. We tried to get the issue with cabelas fixed but the two calls made 4/2023 and 7/22/23 only had them tell use we were good paying customers and they couldnt access account. A supervisor would return our call. As of to date we never received that call or explanation of reason for closing account. We couldnt access account any longer. Never received correspondence from ******* regarding this even after the numerous letters sent. We did after 4/10/23 filing the fraud/ suspicious activity case. The next couple weeks got several emails on new cards being mailed to look for those that never came. When we called they had no response for this either. So this is not our account or has it ever been. This harassment, distress and time bullying us into paying a debt we never owed under the above law needs to stop. Since it so many companies it seems like fraud on these companies parts as well.Business Response
