    I checked my ****** ***** on 9/19/2023 and noticed I had an account from *** ******** in collections with Torres Credit Services. I live in CT and have zero connection to *** ******** in any way. Torres Credit Services has told me that I owe over $5,000 to them but they have never contacted me directly AT ALL. I am 100% sure someone used my SS number to open the account with *** ******** and I'm 100% sure that Torres Credit Services is a scam. So now, not only am I reporting fraud to my credit cards, bank account and to the local police department, *** ******** tells me they do not even work with a company named Torres Credit Services.

    This company has filed a $108 collection on my credit report, but appears to be a scam. I have no record of this debt, and there is nowhere to contact anyone from the company, so they are hurting my credit score for no reason.

    Torres is trying to collect a debt from me that is not mine for a Utility company. My lease ended Oct 1, 2022 from the address in question. I paid my final bill and began service at my new address. The amount they are saying I owe is for days well after my lease ended. I stopped service and moved out Oct 1 and these charges are for the months after. I called *** and they agreed that a mistake was made and that all charges would be dropped. The confirmation ****** was given to me by there dispute department.

    THIS COMPANY PUT A COLLECTION ACCOUNT ON MY TRANSUNION CONSUMER REPORT. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY ALLEGED DEBT. THIS IS A COMPLETE VIOLATION OF THE FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT, FAILURE TO VALIDATE. I NOTICED IN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AGAINST THIS COMPANY, THAT THEY TRY TO VALIDATE THE DEBT IN THEIR RESPONSE TO COMPLAINTS ON THIS FORUM. I AM DEMANDING THE IMMEDIATELY REMOVAL OF THIS ACCOUNT FROM MY CONSUMER REPORT. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT ANY ALLEGED. THERE WAS NO DEBT VALIDATION COMPLETED BY THIS COMPANY.

    I am writing to file a formal complaint against Torres Credit Services, Inc. for their unethical and unjustified actions regarding my credit report. I recently discovered a derogatory mark on my credit report, which has resulted in a significant deduction of 66 points from my credit score. It has come to my attention that this negative mark was reported by Torres Credit Services, Inc., on 6/16/23, despite this business making no attempts to contact me prior to reporting the debt. I would like to bring to your attention the following details regarding this matter: 1. Debt Settlement: The debt in question, which Torres Credit Services, Inc. claims I owe, was settled, and paid in full February 2023 by California’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP). Therefore, the collection agency's claim of an outstanding debt is completely baseless and inaccurate. 2. Lack of Communication: It is both shocking and concerning that Torres Credit Services, Inc. failed to contact me before reporting the alleged debt to the credit bureaus. To my understanding, I should have received phone call or letter by mail prior to them reporting. This disregard for due process and failure to provide proper notice violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and other relevant consumer protection laws. 3. Negative Impact on Credit Score: The derogatory mark on my credit report, as a result of Torres Credit Services, Inc. 's actions, has had a significant negative impact on my creditworthiness. This unjust deduction of 66 points will affect my ability to secure favorable interest rates and obtain credit when needed. In light of the above, I kindly request that the Better Business Bureau investigate this matter thoroughly; I believe their actions are not only a violation of fair debt collection practices but also indicative of deceptive practices that can harm consumers.

    I submitted to my bank for a line of credit and was declined because of an unpaid account that was entered by Torres Credit Services on my credit report for the amount of $ 506.00. Apparently this was entered on my credit report in 2021 but I have never done business with Torres or had an account with them and have never received any documentation from Torres of what this account was for. In addition to not having a valid debt they continue to update it to make it look like it is recent to have a higher impact on my credit.
