Collection Agency Reporting Unverified Unrecognized Debt on Credit Report
Consumers receive credit alerts about collection accounts from agencies reporting debts for accounts they have never heard of and cannot verify. The collector cannot or will not provide validation of the debt's origin. The unverified collection damages credit scores while the consumer has no way to identify whether it is identity theft, a billing error, or a legitimate old account.
