I am submitting a complaint regarding Vance & Huffman , LLC, a debt collection company that is reporting a significant debt on my credit report. After discovering the account on my credit report, I contacted the company to request information regarding the alleged debt and a debt validation letter. However, I was informed that I would be required to pay a processing fee before they would provide any information about the debt. The company has also refused to provide a debt validation letter unless this fee is paid. I believe this practice is improper and may violate my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). As a consumer, I am requesting verification and validation of a debt that is being reported under my name, yet the company is conditioning access to this information on payment of a fee.

Im writing to file a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX for violating my consumer rights under 12 CFR 1006.34 and 15 USC 1681-s2 ( 7 ) ( A ). Theyve added an inaccurate account to my consumer report without giving me the required validation info, as outlined in 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ). On top of that, I havent been given a chance to dispute the account, which Im entitled to under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ). Overall, their actions are not only against federal regulations but also misleading and deceptive.
They call nonstop at the worst hours, speak in a cold or mocking tone, and act like fear is their main tool. Instead of helping someone find a realistic solution, they pressure, threaten, interrupt, and make people feel trapped or ashamed. They might twist the truth, exaggerate consequences, or treat every conversation like intimidation instead of communication.
