This company changed the date of opening to February 2018 to February 2020, This means my legat drop date has changed by two years. I have tried to dispute this account because I paid medical off 2018 but I do not have the receipts. They had been reporting the February 2018 date until the change occurred in June 2024.Business response

This dispute was received after the federal validation period. The dates in question are as follows: February 2018 is when the procedure happened, February 2020 is when the accounts were turned over to our office.

Date of transaction: N/A although I was given the date when the crediting agency bought the felonious dept: *****-2022, and was reported to my credit report on **** **** 2023. The amount that was sold to the collections of (credit bureau associates) telephone number: ************* was 1595 dollars from: ***** *** ********* ********. The fact that I haven't even used a ambulance in the last 8 years is all I need to know that the debt was due to fraud, or mistaken identity. Also I never received any information of this debt, through the mail or by phone. Furthermore I've worked really hard on my credit, while living well below the national poverty line. The account number for the collection is: ******** Please help me to get this taken off my credit report. I truly feel like I've been fraudulently taken advantage of in hopes that I'll just pay a debt that doesn't belong to me. Thank you very much for your help, and God bless. Sincerely, ****** *********Business response
