Debt Collectors Threatening Credit Over Disputed Service Obligations
A consumer faces credit damage threats from a debt collector over charges from a service provider that failed to deliver promised results. The collector is pursuing the debt despite the underlying contract being voided by the provider's own admission of inability to perform. No mechanism exists to efficiently block collection activity when the original service obligation is contested.
