    I received an alert from my credit bureau last week notifying me of a collections from Collection Management. I learn that a company called APP of Indiana ED **** claims that I allegedly have a bill for an emergency visit from May 2025. First of all, I have NEVER even heard of this company, let alone used their services. Second, I have NEVER received any sort of correspondence from APP of Indiana ************** call, email, paper mail, or postcard. This is CLEARLY fraud. I will be disputing this on my credit report. I request that this company remove this collection from my record, otherwise I will seek litigation.

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********.

    So as long as **** ****** of Credit Management Company follows through with (1) removing the charges from my credit report & (2) closing the account with their agency, then I will find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

    For the last two years, a Credit Management representative by the name of **** ******** has harrased me with voice mail messages alleging I owe money to some unknown person or company which I do not. These voice mail messages do not state who I'm supposed to owe this money to nor the amount. I have not called this woman back as I OWE NOTHING TO ANYONE. I have also blocked the number that calls me, however, **** ******** just calls me again from a different number. THIS IS HARRASSMENT, and I WANT IT TO STOP! ***** ******

    RESPONSE TO CREDIT MANAGEMENT
    While Credit Management sent me a private email apologized for their mistake in contact me regarding a debt someone else owed, I feel that, in addition, I am owed financial compensation as this harassment has gone on for almost two years despite my pleas for them to stop.

    Dealing with Debt Collection is not to be taken lightly so I am creating this complaint so they know I am using all my resources to reach out about a debt I have no knowledge of and is being double reported to my cedit file. I've reached out to Credit Management Company, June 19, 2025. A **** ******** just responded to me today (June 20, 2025) asking for verification of DOB and full address. I did not consent to my DOB but I gave my address for requesting a debt validation letter or documents needed to review. Also I need verification that they are the sole owner since there's another agency over a week ago (not even a month has past) reporting the same debt to credit bureaus. *** have yet to validate within a week. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), you have the right to request debt validation without disclosing your DOB. They must identify the alleged debt first youre not required to verify your identity to them before they verify why theyre contacting you. Until a collector proves who they are and what debt theyre collecting, it's risky to hand over personal details. Furthermore, I respectfully request that all future communication be made in writing only. I do not consent to telephone calls. This communication does not represent an acknowledgment of debt or a waiver of any rights. I am exercising my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). The name of the original creditor The amount allegedly owed, with an itemized breakdown Documentation that shows I am legally responsible Proof that Credit Management Company is legally authorized to collect this debt If they haven't responded by the end of the week. My complaint will escalate to the cfpb, ftc and other proper channels.

    CMC continues to avoid providing a full and lawful response on any platform including direct communication. Despite multiple written requests for debt validation beginning June 19, 2025, CMC failed to provide proper validation before continuing collection and credit reporting activity. Furthermore, I have clearly stated that I do not authorize or agree to any phone communication. Their response here avoids accountability by offering no details, timeline, or proof of resolution. At this time, I do not agree that the matter is resolved.

    Company under the name of Collection Management Company Based out of **********, ************. Has reported under my credit reports that I have a Medical Bill owed for $1,744 dollars from an account open on July, 12th, 2022. Yet listen to this.. when I call to get information on who they are placing this collection on, they give me. A total Different Name, and with a different Date of Birth which is not even close to being me. This person not only has a different name but also was born in ****, I was born in ****. And all my medical bills are 100 percent covered by the V.A. If you read the reviews is a tactic they use to get into peoples credit reports and add false medical bills collections. This ***** my credit for no reason and I am sure if the do this 100s of thousands of times they are running a scheme network, how has no one noticed or has done something about this yet? The *** needs to investigate this and a** a Veteran I will do all in my power to make sure this starts to get investigated. The account I placed in this complaint is the account they gave me, and they seemed mad that someone slipped and gave me the whole account number.
