      Credit Bureau Data *** is a licensed debt collection agency working under contract with the creditor to which the consumer owes the debt. Credit Bureau Data does not have a contract with the consumer nor is it required to have a contract with the consumer. The debt will remain credit reported per the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The consumer requested a bill from Credit Bureau Data on 7.25.2024. The bill was mailed to the consumer on 7.25.2024. The debt is a valid debt owed by the consumer. A copy of the itemized statement of charges will be mailed to the consumer today. The consumer should reach out to us with any questions and to arrange payment. 

      This is a communication from a debt collector. This is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose.

      The consumer contacted us the morning of 9/6/24 and requested a signed copy of the contract emailed to him. We advised him to go to our website and provide his email address and permission to email him documents. He did not do that. He then filed this complaint early in the afternoon of 9/6/24. He has provided no support for why he is not liable for this debt. The consumer would not have contract with Credit Bureau Data as we are collecting the debt on behalf of the creditor. Today, 9/11/24, we mailed him a copy of the itemized statement documenting the debt and the application he completed to request a card from the creditor. The debt is valid and will continue to be credit reported per the *****

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      [After contacting the collection agency yes they did inform me they had just the following which was the bill statements but not the contract and that they would have to contact the original creditor and that would take about a week to do so and that I should email them on their through their website that states to call because they do not respond to general emails. Therefore why the following complaint was issued now that they have mailed the following paperwork once received it will be reviewed and further the appropriate actions will be taken.]

      Credit Bureau Data sent me a letter on dated April 25, 2024 but I did not receive it in the mail until May 8th attempting to collect a debt for a supposed unpaid invoice to ************************* in Mt. ********, **. I already have a complaint filed with BBB (#********) for ***************************** actions and refusal to repair damage to my brake system they caused by putting unauthorized parts on my vehicle on 3/20/24. I have emailed this business to stop collections because this case is under investigation with my credit card company **************** and legally they are not supposed to collect because the charge could still go back on my credit card after the investigation is completed. This company sent another letter on 5/9/24 saying they were not stopping collections processes. I have sent emails explaining to them that they are legally not supposed to continue because ************************* is fully aware that the investigation is still ongoing per my credit card company's update to me.

      The consumer's claims have been investigated with the creditor. The creditor has determined that the account is not paid and the debt is valid. The account will remain in collections. The account is not currently reported to the credit reporting agencies, however, it will be reported per the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act when and if eligible.

      I am not liable for this debt with the "defenders", I do not have a contract with Credit Bureau Data **** They did not provide me with the original contract or validation letter with my signature as I requested.

      Business response

      02/05/2024

      The consumers claims are not factually accurate. The consumer was mailed a validation notice on 4.13.2020. He was mailed validation of the debt on 10.25.23. He has never contacted the creditor and he has refused to answer our calls or discuss the account with us. He has also sent a cease communication request to us. The consumer has provided no documentation or support for why this debt is not valid. If he wants this account removed from his credit report he should contact us and make arrangements to pay the debt in full. We will continue to report the debt in compliance with the ***** Credit Bureau Data, Inc. This communication is from a debt collector. ************

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      This company has not yet validated this debt with my signature that makes liable for this debt and continue to report on my consumer report with my consent. I have wrote this company asking them to either validate this debt with a signature of mines or something that proves this debt belongs to me. And they cannot provide my with a copy of my signature or IDENTIFICATION then I would like them to cease and desist from reporting this debt to the consumer reporting agency immediately.

      Regards,

      I am not liable for the debt with THE ******* GROUP **** I do not have a contract with CREDIT BUREAU DATA **** They did not provide me with original contract as requested.

      Business response

      01/12/2024

      The consumer's statement is not factually correct. The consumer has never communicated with us in regards to this debt nor requested validation of the account. The consumer didn't pay for repair services for her vehicle received from *********************************************************, *** (the ******* Group) and the account was referred to Credit Bureau Data, *** (CBD) for collection. The consumer was mailed a validation notice from CBD on 3/16/21 informing the consumer the account was listed with us for collection and advising her of the debt. We attempted to contact her multiples times by phone and were not successful in speaking with her. We sent her collection notices on 2.23.2022 and 9.23.2022 to which she did not respond. She also disputed the account with the ********************** ****************** claiming the debt was not hers however she provided no documentation in support of her claim. We responded that the debt is valid and being properly credit reported.

      The consumer should contact us if they need additional information regarding the account or to arrange payment. The debt will continue to be credit reported per the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
