Complaint What Happened On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I received a letter from Online Collections dated XXXX XXXX, 2016 demanding payment for an outstanding utility bill owed to the City of XXXX, KY. That letter is attached. I responded that same day by fax and by Certified Mail disputing the validity of the debt AND providing a confirmation number ( XXXX ) showing that the claimed balance of {$69.00} had been paid on account XXXX. Despite this dispute and proof of payment, Online Collections placed this account on my XXXX credit report.I subsequently received a letter from Online Collections dated XXXX XXXX, 2016 cancelling the collection AND agreeing to remove the collection account from my credit files. The account was removed, as promised, from my Equifax credit report on XXXX XXXX, 2016. Then, it gets complicated. Despite the letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2016 cancelling the collection, and despite my timely dispute of the validity of the debt which was never answered, and despite my providing Online Collections proof the full balance due was paid to the original creditor ( City of XXXX, KY ) on XXXX XXXX, 2016 Online Collections added this collection account to my XXXX XXXX XXXX file. I have attached a copy of that credit report page, as well as documentation that this false account caused an immediate XXXX point decline in my credit score. I have since submitted a dispute to XXXX XXXX including proof of payment to City of XXXX, KY and cancellation of debt from Online Collections. I am awaiting resolution.

Complaint What Happened Online Information Services sent me a letter for an alleged debt I do not owe. When you speak with them they become evasive and hostile which is a flagrant violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I have never heard of Online Information Services prior to their letter nor do I owe them any alleged debt. They flagrantly violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act with their hostile and evasive debt collection practices.

Complaint What Happened In XX/XX/2019, I attempted to open a utility account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. They told me because of my credit report, I would have to pay a big down payment in order to receive utilities. I had a roommate so she opened the account in her name. They sent me a letter dated XX/XX/2019, which stated that I had a bad mark on there and a utility debt owed to XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX to see who and what they were. They told me that I had a debt of {$94.00} for services that I had received in XXXX XXXX Florida. I explained to them that I did not live in XXXX XXXX Florida and someone must have opened the account with my name. The people used my name and Social security number to open the utility account. They did not pay the remaining balance of the debt. Now it is on my credit report. XXXX XXXX told me that the perpetrators also used my information to open an account in XXXX XXXX Florida. The perpetrators were living at an address at the active account and XXXX XXXX said that they would immediately turn the energy off. XXXX also gave me information to report the identity theft. I started the process of reporting the identity theft. Due to the holidays and then Covid 19, I forgot about the process. I found the papers in my drawer and started the process again. I called Online Information Services and they told me unless they have the police report, they can not remove the account from my credit report. I called the XXXX Kentucky Police Department and they told me to call the XXXX XXXX Police Department to make the report. XXXX XXXX told me that I needed to call the XXXX Police Department to file the report. I then asked to speak to the police chief at the XXXX Police Department. The chief department told me I needed to call the FBI to file the report. I went online and sent a report and I have not heard anything back since. I have XXXX XXXX and do not have the energy to continue this process. I called the online information services and they told me that until I get a report from the police department I would not be able to get this written off. How do I proceed from here.? No one is helping me file a report. Can your service help me to get a police report so that I can file this and get this taken off of my credit report. This is the only negative report that I have on my credit.
