Consumer Narrative
A year ago a Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC contacted me claiming I owe a debt that I know for fact never happened. They claim I had a XXXX account years ago. I never made any large transactions using XXXX. I disputed this claim and reported it as fraud. They said they would delete it from their system. I contacted XXXX and they said that I never had an account and show no records or any transaction. They believe that someone stole my identity or this was a scam. On or about XX/XX/22 another company XXXX, XXXX contacted me about the same debt owed. The original company Jefferson Capital lied to me and did not delete the debt, instead the soled my information to another company XXXX. I contacted them and gave them the same information. Neither company will provide me with any details as evidence or documentation to this fraudulent transaction. Both companies REFUSE to provide any evidence or documentation. Both companies continue to lie, and harrassment. Again I asked to dispute this debt and mark as fraud. On further investigation I have found out that XXXX doesn't even have account numbers as provided by these companies and as such the account number provided by XXXX XXXX is fictitious. Both companies are financial fraudsters using made up debts and account numbers. They are scammers. Also after investigation XXXX and associated reviews and reports online I find out that they have numerous complaints with others doing the same scam scheme. I want this abusive fraudulent behavior and contact to stop immediately and for these companies to be held liable for this conduct. Both companies should be investigated. I will seek legal action against both companies if this does not stop immediately. If they sell my personal information again to any other company legal action will be taken. The original personal information was not provided by me and I question how they obtained my information in the first place. Possible identity theft used to scam. If they report this debt to the credit union I will seek legal actions and sue for damages, unfair practices, harrassment, etc.
