Consumer Narrative
After discovering that a debt collection company and XXXX XXXX were erroneously reporting a debt as mine, I contacted both organizations to inform them that the debt did not belong to me. However, neither of them has offered any help, and the company keeps calling and making threats despite my explanations. Despite my repeated insistence that the debt is not mine, the company continues to call me during work hours, sometimes multiple times a day. They also call me past XXXX XXXX, which is against regulations. They have contacted me from three different phone numbers and have failed to identify themselves on the phone. The company is attempting to collect a debt that is not mine, and I have already informed them that I will not be paying it. In addition to the calls, I tried to dispute the debt on the company 's website, but it was not functional. After submitting my order, information, and proof, nothing happened, and the website instructed me to resubmit my dispute. If the company persists in these practices, I will be forced to take legal action. I have attached phone records of this company attempting to call me from two different numbers one number ending in XXXX and another one ending in XXXX The company Im talking about is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
