This was originally a debt from " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' whom would not give me a Itemized bill. Part of the bill was itemized but at the bottom was a charge for " other charges '' I asked them many times for a itemized bill, when they would not sent one I told them I would not pay anymore. The debt was sold to " Bay Area Credit Services '' whom contacted me repeatedly with offers to settle the debt for a lesser amount. I explained that I would pay the bill when I received a itemized bill. They sent me a new bill which was not itemized either, in fact it was less itemized then the original. I again explained that I would pay when I received a proper bill. To this day I have yet to receive one. The debt was reported to the Credit Agency 's and now I have a negative report on my credit. I do not believe this is a fair business practice and NO ONE should have to pay charges that are not given. " other charges '' tells me nothing. Nor do I think they should be able to impact my credit standings, It is just not right! I still have all the correspondence and bills regarding this matter.
