Credit reporting — Credit Systems International, Inc. (TX)

Account status. I intend to dispute this directly with the credit reporting company. They mailed me a collection notice dated XX/XX/2017 that contained the 30-day validation notice ( as required by law ) for a balance that I was unaware was allegedly due from a medical procedure done last year. I immediately picked up the phone and called the medical office for an explanation. It appears to be an insurance issue. I disputed the amount but went ahead and paid the collection agency to prevent the account from being furnished to the bureaus. My next step was to write them a certified letter requesting full validation of the debt ( regardless of it being paid ). I got an alert from XXXX saying that a negative collection item had been reported by Credit Systems International , Inc. on XX/XX/201
