Enhanced Recovery Group has reported a collection action to all XXXX credit reporting companies on behalf of XXXX for {0.00} as of XXXX XXXX. I know nothing about the account, services provided, I did authorize or guaranty any account with XXXX. I have never received a bill, statement or demand for payment, description of time and place of services, etc. I have been turned down for a home equity loan by XXXX which is how this came to my attention. The only other negative filing on my report is XXXX 30 day late payment on a revolving account. I have repeatedly requested that all XXXX reporting companies to remove the erroneous and fraudulent filing from my reports. The only response I have received is to note that I dispute the collection action and that it will remain on my reports until XXXX XXXX. My primary remaining remedy, other that filing a lawsuit, would be to file documentation supporting my position. What documentation might that be? In other words what documentation could I be in possession of in connection with an account that I have no knowledge of?

Company Official Name: ERC
State: NC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-Product: I do not know
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-Issue: Not given enough info to verify debt
Full Complaint:
I have asked Enhanced Recovery to validate a collection they are reporting on my credit reports from XXXX/XXXX/16 to XXXX/XXXX/16 and they have failed to provide anything that would support the fact that they are attempting to collect on a debt without an agreement or contract. Nor have they supplied anything other than a statement on one of the collections. I told them that I would be reporting them to you but they obviously do n’t fear you because they failed to delete themselves or answer questions about the debt ( s ) that they are using to damage me financially. Its damaging my credit and it is important to me.

Full Complaint:
Employee at XXXX said that I did not owe a fee since I paid XXXX months fee as well as last months fee upfront when I first signed up. I cancelled the actual membership in the gym and they said I did not owe anything after that. Now I owe {.00} dollars which I never received a letter in the mail saying that is what I owe so that I could dispute it. This gym is just trying to scam me with nonsense fees that I was not even aware of because of lack of knowledge from employees. I have a good credit score from all the years that I ‘ve made payments at the right time. This is not a debt that I owe. The gym shut down so there is no way of me contacting someone with this issue. Now the debt collector is starting to call my place of work.
