Consumers receive collection notices for debts they never incurred

A collection notice arrived from IC System for a debt the consumer has no record of, with no prior relationship to the original creditor. Mis-routed or fraudulent collection attempts are common and consumers have limited tools to efficiently validate, dispute, and document them. The burden of proof falls entirely on the consumer.
