Consumer Narrative
HP Sears is furnishing my medical information which is a violation. i have never given them my written consent to furnish my information. A violation of the FDCPA. I refuse to pay the debt and I asked them to validate the debt to no avail. I asked for an original wet ink signature, the contract between me and HP Sears stating that we were in business and they have the right to collect on a debt. Again to no avail. I'm not sure how they were able to locate me and continuing to report this inaccurate information is in direct violation of the FDCPA.
