Complaint #1513690 submitted on 08/11/2015 relating to KelKris Associates Inc. Complaint relates to Debt collection Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.) - Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine.
Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Tuesday 11th August 2015.
I received a notice from Credit Bureau Associates ( CBA ) on XXXX XXXX, 2015 regarding a debt that is not mine ( {$3000.00} ). I checked my credit score, and it already had shown the negative mark for this debt. This is the first time I had heard of the debt. The debt is not mine, and I had no knowledge of the debt or the service prior to the letter from CBA. The letter references a XXXX XXXX, in XXXX CA, which I had never heard of. I first called the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) to find out what to do. They said to dispute the debt, and that the company would have to produce evidence within 5 days, or I could file a complaint. I called CBA on XXXX XXXX, and no one answered, so I left a message, with details and disputed the debt. XXXX XXXX ( from XXXX ) returned by call on XXXX XXXX, at approximately XXXX ( the call was recorded by CBA ). I confirmed my dispute of the debt, and requested their evidence. XXXX said that their evidence was from DMV, and that it would be sent to me within 5-10 business days. I told her that I expected it in 5 days, because that is what I understood to be the law. I confirmed my current address and phone number to CBA on that call. Since that time I have received, or heard, nothing from CBA. I sent a letter to CBA on XXXX/XXXX/15 describing the above, and again requesting evidence of the debt.
I also called XXXX XXXX, in XXXX CA, on XXXX XXXX, regarding this notice. They said that they had sent all of their files regarding this account to CBA, and that they would call CBA on the same day and get back to me. They said that it would be faster for them to contact CBA, and hear back, then it would be for me. They said that their evidence was from DMV that I owned an XXXX Suzuki motorcycle that they had towed and still had in their possession. I have never owned an XXXX Suzuki motorcycle, never had a motorcycle towed, and never heard of their company, and I told them that. I called XXXX XXXX two days later to follow up. I never heard back from XXXX XXXX either. I sent them a letter on XXXX/XXXX/15, describing the above, and disputing the debt and requesting evidence.
