I was contacted by XXXX and they were attempting to collect a debt from Continental Finance. A company with a history of using illegal practices to take advantage of consumers. I explained that I do not owe this debt and the account was paid in full as part of a debt consolidation. They are reporting this debt with a false original creditor. I have attempted do dispute this and they will not put up the correct original creditor. I only assume because they know Continental Finance was sued by the CFPB and want to use deceiving tactics to not allow me to dispute the information on my report correctly. Upon research I found that Continental Finance was ordered to pay all effected consumers of the illegal practice by direct payment or account credit including credit to collection accounts. If I have a valid debt XXXX would have applied this credit to my account. They basically did n't acknowledge my dispute and they continue to report this on my credit report as an original loan from " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' this is not even a real company I have researched and XXXX XXXX XXXX said they are not the same XXXX XXXX and they habve no affiliation with XXXX XXXX for debt collection. XXXX seems to be wanting to tarnish my credit by keeping this on my report as a different lender.I do believe Continental Finance is not allowed to effect consumers reports do to the illegal practices. I only asked that they give me more detail in order for me to pay this debt XXXX will not give me anything validating this debt and they told me that they did not and do not have to pay for detailed account information in order to attempt to collect on the debt. Basically I am a name on a list with social and and contact info. They also said my account number was changed from a XXXX to XXXX which is the reason I do now have records of it.
