California Business Bureau Complaint

California Business Bureau, Inc. Debt collection department,

Medical False statements or representation Attempted to collect wrong amount California

California Business Bureau of -, CA, has attempted, on numerous occasions, via their representative -, to collect over $1000.00 above the principal balance of an alleged medical collection with - Hospital in exchange for deletion of this account from my credit report. The company claims they have validated this debt with statements and bills in 2010, however, I stated I do not recall this, and they have refused to send updated copies of this debt validation to my current address or remove this from my credit reports. California Business Bureau has attempted to extort excess money from me, the consumer, in exchange as a barter for deletion from my credit files. I believe this to be a violation of the FCRA and a very unethical practice. I have disputed this debt with the original creditor as well, - HOSPITAL, who claims that the debt is valid based upon me recalling one of the services performed ( - ), though I still dispute the dates of service in question and total amount said due. The original balance is quoted as being $1700.00, and CBB is requesting over $2800.00 to close the debt and remove from my credit report. In addition, I

I 'm not supposed to do this and normally we do not do this, but will delete this for you if you pay this amount ''. The company has refused to further dispute this information, nor has accepted responsibility for the attempted bartering with their agent and non-compliance with FCRA. It is also worth noting that NEITHER THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR ( - HOSPITAL ) OR THE COLLECTION AGENCY ( CALIFORNIA BUSINESS BUREAU ) HAVE COPIES OF MY DRIVER LICENSE, SIGNED DOCUMENTS BY MYSELF, or SOCIAL SECURITY CARD proving this is my debt, or that I was seen on the alleged date of service for the alleged services.
