Consumer Information: ***** ****-******* ******* Information: Eastern Account System, Inc. *** **** ***** *** *********** *********** ***** Complaint Details: I am submitting this complaint regarding Eastern Account System, Inc., concerning their attempts to collect a debt allegedly owed to *******. I dispute the validity of this debt entirely. At no time was I informed by ******* of any outstanding balance, nor have I received any billing statements indicating that such a debt exists. Under the **** **** ********** ********* *** ******** ************ ******, I request that Eastern Account System provide verifiable proof of this alleged debt. Until such verification is provided in accordance with federal law, all collection efforts must cease immediately. I specifically request verification that includes: 1. Documentation showing the exact amount of the debt 2. Evidence demonstrating I am legally responsible for this debt 3. The name and address of the original creditor (*******) 4. A complete breakdown of the current balance including any fees, interest, or additional charges I understand that under the *****, upon receiving this written dispute within the 30-day period after initial contact, Eastern Account System must cease all collection activities until they provide proper verification of the debt. Furthermore, the debt should not be reported to credit reporting agencies while it remains disputed. I am sending this dispute via certified mail with return receipt requested to create a formal record of my dispute. If Eastern Account System continues collection attempts without providing the required verification, this would constitute a violation of the *****. I request the ****** assistance in ensuring compliance by Eastern Account System with my rights under ***** and applicable consumer protection laws. Respectfully submitted, ***** ****-*******

Eastern Account System sent notice allowing time to dispute, pay or validate the debt prior to credit reporting. Calls were also placed and an additional notices sent without a response as well.

Eastern does not do “pay for delete”;this violates our contract with the credit bureaus if we remove entries without just cause.

In 2020, ******* ****** charged me 347.00 initially. I argued that they breached the contract. After disputing, ******* ****** dropped the charge and ******** removed the collection from my US Credit profile. 5 years later, Eastern Account Systems placed a collection on my credit file for 347.00. I tried to explain to Eastern Account Systems that this charge was settled. They refuse to remove the charge. I filed a complaint with ******** ********* ********** ******, on both ******* ****** and Eastern Account Systems. I also filed a complain with the ***. ******* ****** reached out an said that they do not have any record of me owing 347.00, and that my account was cleared. Eastern Account Systems flat out lied about the debt and has collected on it. I paid it in hopes that the credit bureaus clear my name and my account. America runs off credit scores and I am a responsible citizen who is a victim of unfair business practices by Eastern Account Systems. After filing a complaint against Eastern Account Systems, my phone number now gets spam calls multiple times a day. Something that has never occurred before in the past.

Complaint: ********

I am rejecting this response because:

******* *****e corporate office contacted me and said they do not have a balance recorded for me.
I believe that Eastern Account Systems is lying. They are buying zombie accounts and trying to collect off of settled debt. I am not satisfied with this outcome. I paid them promptly to fix my credit and it still hasn’t shown up with the credit agencies.
If it’s fair for Eastern Account Systems, who has never done business with me, to charge me for a debt that was originally settled, then it’s fair for me to charge Eastern Account Systems for the same amount, for destroying my credit and wasting my time. I cannot believe that they are allowed to rip off consumers by creating zombie accounts.

Sincerely,

******* ******

Eastern Account System does not purchase debt. We work on our client's behalf. We have no way to obtain your information. I can assure you it is not a scam. Eastern Account System is a reputable company.

Complaint: ********

I am rejecting this response because:

I believe I am entitled to a letter from your client who is pursuing the amount you have charged me, explaining why they decided to hire and pay Eastern Account Systems to collect a debt that they are responsible for collecting, including address and phone number so I can verify if you are in fact a legitimate company.
I also am requesting that you send me a letter stating that I have paid you in full for the amount, as well as a letter from your client stating the debt is paid in full. You took the time to damage my credit, you can take the time to help me repair it by doing so.
I still believe I am not responsible for this debt but what am I to do? No justice in America at this time.
Sincerely,

******* ******

Eastern Account System is a third-party collection agency that works on our client’s behalf. Your contract is with the original creditor, not Eastern Account System. You spoke to a representative on 12/9, seeking credit bureau removal and you were advised it is reporting correctly - zero balance/paid in full. You spoke to another representative on 12/11, and was advised it was updated to the bureaus and when. You made a payment directly to the original creditor. The account is paid in full and has a zero balance. Eastern Account System sent a notice allowing time to dispute, pay or validate the debt prior to credit reporting. At no time were the notices returned undeliverable. The notice was sent without a response.
