Upon receiving a notification of an attempt to collect this debt ( which is invalid ), I wrote a letter within the 30 day time period to the collector ( Central Credit Services LLC ) and sent it certified mail to confirm receipt to indicate this debt was not valid, including that I had detailed notes of my conversations with the original creditor. Within the letter sent to me, it clearly states the following : " If you notify this office in writing within 30 days after receiving this notice that you dispute the validity of this debt or any portion thereof, this office will obtain verification of the debt or obtain a copy of a judgment and mail you a copy of such judgment or verification. '' Months later after never receiving any notification, I noticed when doing a refinance of my mortgage that the collections company had reported this debt to my credit report. When I contacted them to ask about this, the first individual acknowledged that they should have sent me a letter and that it should not have been reported based on that letter. The manager ( XXXX XXXX ) then stated that it was done properly, and that despite the fact that the letter clearly states that " their office '' will furnish a copy of that letter to me, that it was the creditor 's responsibility. I never received any notifications from either, but the main point for purposes of this case is that the debt collector is ultimately responsible for providing that copy in accordance with their letter ( and I presume legally ), and they did not. This complaint is being filed due to the amount of time and energy I have had to spend fighting this inaccurate collection and their violation of procedure, with the net result being the damage to my credit rating.
