Merchants Credit Guide Co. Sent me a false collection report Chicago Illinois
*Consumer Suggestion: STAY OFF THE PHONE!
Sent me a false report claiming they took over an account from a collection agency (LVNV Funding LLC). They are claiming I defaulted on an account with Bank of America, but do not list any details of the account other than a false account number. I do have an account with b of a , but it does not match the numer they referenced nor do I have any defaulted accounts with them. They claim B of A is trying to collect this from 1990. When I attemted to contact them via the phone number provided they just left me on hold for 45 minutes and never picked up the phone.

Do NOT call this CA. They are fishing. Most likely everyone with your name or a similar name got the same letter. Send them a letter, certified mail, return receipt requested, advising them this is not your account and that you will take action should they continue unwarranted collection activity. Make sure you contact the FTC (they have a complaint form online) and file complaints with the Attorney General's office in IL and CA. Good luck.
