Consumer Narrative
Convergent Outsourcing is attempting to collect a debt that I don't owe in the amount of {$73.00}. I never opened an account with XXXX and not sure why this has showed up on my credit report. This is a case of identity theft and is a violation of my rights 15 US Code 1681 A4 There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. 15 US Code 1 A ) the consumer authorizes the agency to provide such report to such person. Convergent Outsourcing has no right to report on my credit report. Convergent Outsourcing and XXXX should not have any of my personal information. 15 US code 1692d ( 2 ) The use of obscene or profane language or language the natural consequence of which is to abuse the hearer or reader. Convergent Outsourcing and XXXX are in violation of contacting me this is harassment and abusive practices. This is a violation of rights and Convergent Outsourcing failed to send me a debt validation letter before placing this account on my credit for that Convergent Outsourcing should be investigated and shut down as the economy is hard enough living during post XXXX XXXX. Furthermore whomever really owes this debt should be given a grace period before the debt is just placed on their credit report since XXXX hit the world out of no where and people are trying to repair the financial damage it's caused the debt is only for {$73.00} but the negative impact it has on someone's credit staying for 7 years is crazy and should not be allowed! I am pretty sure there's a way to work out a payment schedule that both the creditor and the person responsible can figure out.
