    Talbott ********************************************** dba Spears , ***************************** placed a collection notice on my credit report for a debt I do not owe or have any information about whatsoever. I've never done any business anywhere with IBC Bancshares, the entity for whom they are trying to collect the debt. I disputed the collection with the credit agencies. They requested information from TAM/Spears Dewitt. 30 days later, they deleted the collection I disputed from my credit report. After that, I then received a letter from Talbott Adams Moore/Spears Dewitt Hall last week saying I had 30 days to write to them and dispute that I owe the very same debt. This is the first time I had any contact with them. They provided only a PO Box address to which to send the letter. I sent a certified mail, return receipt requested letter disputing that I owe any part of any debt they were trying to collect. It has yet to be picked up at their PO Box. I called asking for a regular address to which I could send the very same letter. Both you and they list ************ as their phone number. Repeated calls to that number were not answered. It just rings. I called their ************ number listed on their website. A woman answered who refused to give me a regular address to which I could send my dispute letter. Instead, she interrupted me repeatedly when I tried to state my problem, asking me for more information about my social security number, date of birth, etc.This is harrassing, improper, and time consuming to deal with a company that clearly does not want to make it convenient for people to dispute their allegations and false information. It is also economically damaging because credit scores suffer due to their inaccurate allegations. It's reckless. If they want people to send them letters disputing these debts as they request, then they should provide an address where they will promptly sign for letters sent to them certified mail.
