      I am not liable for this debt with 11 ******** I do not have a contract with The CCS Companies, They did not provide me with the original contract as requested. The collection is showing a $0 balance on my credit report that which affecting my credit report as a consumer. Please provide me with written confirmation of the removal of this account from my ********************** report and a new, updated copy of my credit report post-investigation. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated as it significantly impacts my financial health and creditworthiness.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 04/09/2024

      Hello,

      I am writing to dispute a debt listed on my credit report associated with 11 ******** It is important to note that I have no contractual obligations with The CCS Companies, and despite my requests, I have not been furnished with the original contract to substantiate this claim.

      Furthermore, as evidenced by the attached screenshots from both my Experian and TransUnion credit reports, the collection account in question reflects a $0 balance. Despite this, the collection still appears on my report, which I believe is an error that needs rectification.

      Given these circumstances, I respectfully request the removal of this collection from my credit report as it inaccurately represents my financial obligations. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. 

      Should you require additional information or documentation from my side, please do not hesitate to contact me.

      Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

      Sincerely,

      I was contacted by Credit Collection Services for an alleged debit that my minor son has. I repeatedly told the representative that my son is covered under my insurance and his own and I should not owe anyone any money. All he cared about was having me pay him something. I repeated myself 10 times if not more, that my son is covered by two insurance policies. He didn't care. Told me to contact ******* told him I have they only billed one. This is not my issues. It's now over a year and they need to take it as a loss. He said no pay us and you can get reimbursed by your insurance company. I told him that is false information it is over a year, and they will not pay it. I want them to leave me alone on this, File number ***********
