            Debt collector took me to court and lost. The judge ruled the judgement in my favor because the Bureaus representative couldn't provide proof that they owned the debt. Despite this and many disputes, the Bureau's still haven't removed the account from my credit report.

            Unfortunately, we were unable to conduct an investigation into this review because we do not have any account matching the information provided. We need more information to identify the account such as: ********************** account number, original account number, name as it appeared on the account, date of birth or last four digits of your social security number.

            BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

            When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

            BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
