In ONE month 9 collections appeared on my TU report - only 3 are showing on the other two, but most people use TU it seems, so I can't ignore them. Not all are valid debts... 2 are from apartment complexes that messed up their accounting when I switched apartments in each, and the managers, despite many emails and phone calls, have not pushed the CAs to remove these.
The weird thing is they all appeared on my report in November 2018, and I had a freeze placed in July due to domestic violence, so this seems a little malicious; how did they all suddenly get sent to CAs and reported?
That aside, I feel overwhelmed and lost by where to start. The apartment collections I feel like I should deal with directly, and there's a T-Mobile collection that I thought was settled a year ago as identity theft (part of the Domestic Violence, though it's actually part of a seperate police incident - I have copies of all the crap from the account that I apparently opened...with his signature!) Most of the rest are medical, except for a credit card that I thought was charged off, but now appearing in collections.
I know the typical process would be a debt validation letter, but that's not really going to work for most of these. Anyone have advice on how to approach this mess? It's preventing me from renting an apartment, and my only other debt is a LOT of student loans. No open credit cards, no car loans, etc. Had a bankruptcy in 2015 and now I'm stuck with this crap.
Thanks for any ideas 
Hey, sorry this happened to you, sucks.
As far as your credit freeze is concerned, this only stops your reports being pulled for new lending. Any reporting for accounts that are yours or are legally liable for can and will still be reported.
If you feel debt validation would serve you no purpose, the only thing you can really do is dispute information you think is innacurate, and then reach out to the collection agencies and hope they accept a pay for delete.
