    What if your landlord allows a third party rent payment reporting agency to update your credit report with inaccurate information monthly and when I asked to be opt out they refused. What do I do?
    It is a company that doesn’t answer phone calls or emails.
    What can I do to remove the inaccurate balance? I submitted disputes and they said it was deemed valid but it is showing a balance when it is actually a zero balance.

      Yep, they told me it is a civil matter but it is not, it is theft. Someone used my information and received money from several financial institutions all within the same year, I filed a report with the FTC and took that report to the police dept. and they told me that there was nothing they could do because it was a civil matter and needs to be handled in court.

      If you have sent to the collector and credit bureaus and it is legit ID theft and they won't fix, then you need to look at suing. Reach out to me at www.alabamaconsumer.com/contact-us/ and tell me the details and I'll help you find a lawyer.

    I have a collection agency that refuses to validate my debt. They simply keep sending me a copy of a final bill from their client. How do I know they are legally authorized to collect this debt?

    • @Reddhellkatt24
      @Reddhellkatt24 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They have like 30-45 days to validate it or they have to remove it.

      @@Reddhellkatt24 no this is wrong, you have 30 days to ask for a validation or dispute but they do not have a time limit to respond, but what they do have to do is stop all collection efforts until they answer your request. So if you dispute it or ask for a validation of the debt and they continue calling you and sending you bills or threatening letters, then you have a violation and you can sue them and make them pay you.

      I would call a Spade A SPADE. This person has a pattern of doing things to go to jail. They gotta learn. I would not bail that person out for that person will have a roof over his head and food to eat and No I won't be putting No money on the book because my money is going towards to paying my bills and living my life. No ma'am that person gotta feel it to stop being a fool in life and a lot of times the person is very Smart. I can say this because I have been through this with my child who is adult with children and has made a 360 turn around and doing well today. It took a lot of prayer and standing on Business constantly. Be Blessed
