Debt collector reporting account the consumer never opened on credit file
Debt collection agencies report accounts on consumer credit files for debts originated with creditors the consumer never had a relationship with, typically from purchased debt portfolios. Disputes are ineffective because collectors fail to produce original account agreements or chain-of-title documentation.
Unrecognized Debt Collection Account Damaging Credit File
Collection agencies report debts on credit files for accounts the consumer never opened or authorized. Consumers have no efficient mechanism to force removal of fraudulent collection accounts that reappear after disputes.
