      Collection Service Center Inc
      **** ***** **** ***** ********* ** *****  I am in receipt of your company’s letter informing me you’re handling the collection of the account mentioned above. However, after reviewing my records, I am unable to find any documentation of any contractual relationship between (Collection Service Center Inc } and me which makes you a person entitled to enforce a commercial claim against me. This letter is NOT a request for verification or validation.
      This is a request for proof of contract to substantiate your claim. Provide me with a certified copy of an original contract, with my signature specifically naming your company as a person entitled to enforce a commercial claim against me . Certifications can be done through the presence of a notary public, who duly swears the copy made is in fact a copy of the original paper contract in question.
      Failure to respond and provide strict proof of contract will constitute your tactic agreement that you, Collection Service Center Inc are NOT entitled to enforce a claim against me. In the event you continue your collection efforts against me without providing proof of contract, I will file a complaint with the Attorney General and Federal Trade Commission, and file a police report against you for harassment and invasion of privacy.
      YOU MUST CEASE AND DESIST ANY AND ALL COLLECTION EFFORTS AND IMMEDIATLEY REMOVE ANY DEROGATORY INFORMATION REPORTED TO THE CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES. If you transfer this account to any attorney without providing proof of contract, They will be immediately reported to the state bar association and professional liability fund for code of ethics violations.

      Ms. *******:

      We are unable to respond to the BBB at this time due to
      certain privacy issues.  In order to
      comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and
      the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) prior to disclosing any
      protected health information and/or before discussing any aspect of a debt we need
      to make certain that we are communicating with the individual responsible for
      the debt or that we have written permission to disclose information about the
      debt to a third party, in this case the Better Business Bureau.  Please do not consider this to be confirmation
      that this matter relates to any files that may be handled by this office.  Be assured that we will address any relative
      concerns directly with the consumer. 


      Thank you.

      Better Business Bureau:



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

      I've submitted FTC, CFPB complaints and BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU complaints against you because you're still reporting accounts that are the result of identity theft 

      Section 605B states that if A account is the result of identity theft, then it must be removed from my credit report.

      You didn’t send me anything at all that would verify the accuracy of this account. I notified you that I am a victim of identity theft and this must be removed immediately sending a alleged bill from a unknown company when I have been a victim of identity theft is unacceptable and against the FCRA again request this Tradeline be Removed from all the credit reporting agencies Or I will contact the Attorney General and seek compensation.

      Regards,



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

      Ms. *********

      No where in the original complaint did you mention that this was related to identity theft.  That being said, and now that we know you may have been a a victim of fraud we will be in touch again directly with you to verify and follow the FTC guidelines to assist you in the resolution of this serious matter.

      Thank you.
