I checked my credit reports and seen MCM and Original Creditor SBC-AMeritech $156.72 from Nov 2002. I sent them a "validation letter" as I don't think I even had a phone at that time so this can't be mine.I also disputed with Credit Bureaus. All this done in April 2008. MCM sent me a letter asking me for any documentation that I may have and that they have written "Disputed" on my credit report. May 2008 MCM sends me a bill with options on how to pay. Still no Original bill or validation that this is even MY debt. The Credit Bureaus claim that they have "verified" this debt. How they did this I have NO idea? I have asked for "reinvestigation" and Trans Union took 1 day .not even it was Overnight... . and said it was "verified".
I even tried to call SBC-Ameritech awhich is now ATT and they couldn't help me as they have no information about this so called debt as it is too old.
Yesterday August 19, MCM called me and was very rude and told me that they were the "original creditors" that they don't have to validate as they own this debt and that they are going to pursue this further. I know that the SOL has expired so they cant sue me as it is 6 years in Michigan. I am so frustrated with these people. My wife and I are trying to buy a house and this is one of the things that need to be taken care of before we can. I just don't want to have to pay for something that I believe isn't mine.
All I want is an "original bill" stating that I owe this.. not some bill from MCM.

File a complaint with the BBB of San Diego and cite the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act(FACTA)

SEC. 312. PROCEDURES TO ENHANCE THE ACCURACY AND INTEGRITY
OF INFORMATION FURNISHED TO CONSUMER
REPORTING AGENCIES.

‘‘(8) ABILITY OF CONSUMER TO DISPUTE INFORMATION
DIRECTLY WITH FURNISHER.—

‘‘(E) DUTY OF PERSON AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE OF DISPUTE.—
After receiving a notice of dispute from a consumer
pursuant to subparagraph (D), the person that provided
the information in dispute to a consumer reporting agency
shall—
‘‘(i) conduct an investigation with respect to the
disputed information;
‘‘(ii) review all relevant information provided by
the consumer with the notice;
‘‘(iii) complete such person’s investigation of the
dispute and report the results of the investigation to
the consumer before the expiration of the period under
section 611(a)(1) within which a consumer reporting
agency would be required to complete its action if
the consumer had elected to dispute the information
under that section; and
‘‘(iv) if the investigation finds that the information
reported was inaccurate, promptly notify each consumer
reporting agency to which the person furnished
the inaccurate information of that determination and
provide to the agency any correction to that information
that is necessary to make the information provided
by the person accurate.

and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)

§ 809. Validation of debts

(c) The failure of a consumer to dispute the validity of a debt
under this section may not be construed by any court as an
admission of liability by the consumer.
