      This debt collector never contacted me regarding a debt they say I owed. I seen I on my credit report and contacted them certified mail requesting they validate the debt and provide proof that the debt was valid, to provide it within 30 days and née received a response. I sent four certified request asking them to provide me with receipts, estimates , picture evidence that the debt was actually mine and valid, they never responded to my request . I also sent them proof that my move out date was incorrect and that the rent that was being charge was also incorrect. I provided them proof of my storage receipt along with my current apartment saying I was approved. I added a change of address form as well for evidence and still no response. This creditor is a scam and refuses to remove debts that are incorrect from someone who proves their claims credit. This creditor has violates the fair credit act and ca law. Which states I have a right to have incorrect information removed from my credit as well as a right to receive proof that the debt is valid. There are several provisions in the credit act that were violated by this creditor. I am taking necessary steps to hold this creditor accountable for not following ca law.
