Consumer Narrative
Wakefield has placed a collection on my credit profiles claiming that I owe {$1100.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX. Ive never been to that medical facilithy. I have reached out to Wakefield 3 times between XX/XX/XXXXand XX/XX/XXXX ( I have certified USPS proof of delivery to them in which Im sending via the CFPB portal ) and they have yet to respond. They are unable to verify this because the debt does not belong to me. They are clearly not even attempting to resolve this issue.
