Credit Protection Association, L.P. Debt Collection Complaint

Credit Protection Association, L.P. Debt collection department,

Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.) Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine Pennsylvania

I received my FIRST notice from a company called Credit Protection Association L.P. on or around - -, 2016 claiming I owe a debt to - - in the amount of $74.00 plus a collection fee of $12.00 ; totaling $87.00. I contacted - - and spoke with a member in their collections department. There was no record of my name or SSN to indicate I owe them a debt. I attempted to contact Credit Protection Association L.P. several times to no avail. I have sent them a letter describing my issue and have received no response, however the debt has been added as a collection to my credit report which has had a severe impact on my current credit score and report. What is more alarming is the nature of the letter, as it is almost threatening in nature and appears to be a scam. The letter claims they have contacted me several times, however this letter was the first I have heard of any debt owed to the company. It also goes on to state that they can not understand why I would " refuse '' to pay, claiming that most people are concerned about their credit and pay their past due balances.
