Consumer complaint: For the past couple of months, several individuals have been contacting from the same phone number claiming to be lawyers from the offices of XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX and Cooper, Hoffman, Klein & Associates. They have called my personal cell phone and my place of work several times a day, every day. I have repeatedly asked them stop calling me at work because I am not allowed to receive phone calls of this nature at work. They have not complied and continue to call. When they call, they yell at me on the phone, tell me that they are sending someone to come arrest me immediately, and usually end up hanging up on me. I have repeatedly asked them to send me a validation letter of the debt that they say that I owe and the refuse. I have also asked them for an address so that I could send a written request to them to stop contacting me at work and they have refused this as well. They have even called my work and told my employer that they were sending a cop to come arrest me right that moment. They have told me that I have committed check fraud and that I have written hot checks.

Consumer complaint: On my most recent credit report from Experian or which I have a copy, # XXXX, a bogus and long written off medical bill from XXXX that, to the best of my knowledge, was previously removed from my credit file, with the assistance of XXXX XXXX, a department head and supervisor at Experian ( XXXX, fax # XXXX, has appeared again, and is preventing me from applying for a mortgage with ANY financial institution. This item DID NOT APPEAR on my XXXX previous credit reports, numbers XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, but did appear on the last report I originally mentioned. When I checked my credit this morning via the internet, it was still there. As to why to has reappeared, I have no idea. This alleged debt was investigated by all the other credit reporting firms and was deleled, including the most recent being on XXXX XXXX, XXXX by XXXX XXXX and XXXX, XXXX report # XXXX and XXXX XXXX report # XXXX dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Copies of this report, Experian 's report that I received, along with other supporting documents were faxed to you this evening following the submission of this complaint. 

As you will see, this alleged debt was totally and unconditionally written off by XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, so I assumed that would be the end of it. However, when I received another in a series of collection letters from XXXX XXXX this morning, I filed two complaints with your agency, these being XXXX and XXXX, copies of which were fazed to you this evening. 

This has been a seemingly never ending battle with Experian who, prior to the involvement of XXXX XXXX, was totally uncooperative and very arrogant. The tangible evidence is there that this is a totally bogus and baseless debt, which, as I stated earlier, XXXX investigated and removed from its files as did the XXXX other credit reporting agencies. I request that your agency take whatever action it deems necessary and appropriate to force Experian to totally, permanently and unconditionally, remove this item from my credit file IMMEDIATELY, and provide me with tangible evidence of the same, so that I can apply for a mortgage. I have less than 40 days to both apply for a mortgage and close on a house I had planned to purchase until this mess with Experian developed. I, and my XXXX cats, will be homeless if this purchase transaction is not consummated within the aforementioned period. The lender, XXXX, MO has been very understanding about this mess, but the can not process my application until this bogus debt has been removed from my Experian file. 

Your agency has successfully assisted me in the past with credit reporting issues, and I hope that you can again. Many thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Consumer complaint: Experian advised me to contact a collector ( XXXX ) for proper documentation since they had validated a dispute I initiated with the CRA. I followed their advise, to which the collector was unable to properly validate. I never received validation from collector after several attempts, I just received a printout. I then sent all documentation to the CRA and asked them to remove the account in question, to which their final response was ... '' We have previously processed this dispute and the credit grantor has verified its accuracy. " ... we will not re-investigate. I have all supporting documents including printout if needed.

Consumer complaint: I owe an auto loan debt for a vehicle that was repossessed XXXX XXXX, XXXX to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and was notified by such entity some time between XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX that the debt would be transferred to a debt collection agency. Around the end of XXXX XXXX, I contacted the credit union to find out who the collection agency was because I had n't heard anything since I received the letter and they gave me Grant and Weber 's name and phone number. I called Grant and Weber and asked the rep if they had an account for me ; she transferred me and it rang then went to voicemail so I left a voicemail message with my contact info. I have not received any notification in writing nor by telephone from the Grant and Weber agency about how I may make payments on this account. I have contacted both agencies multiple times over the past 3 months and all the credit union tells me is that Grant and Weber has all the information they need and the account is with them. In XXXX XXXX, Grant and Weber told me that they did n't have an account for me. About an hour later, they called back and said that the reason they could n't find an account for me was because they did n't have enough information from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to establish the account. Grant and Webber told me this approximately 15 months after I received written notification from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that the account would be sent to collections. This is a severe lack of due diligence on Grant and Weber 's part! I also do not understand why XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has not been remediating my account with Grant and Weber since I informed them multiple times that Grant and Weber has not gotten back to me and they must know that they have not been receiving payments since they report the account 's status to the credit bureaus! I have been unable to make payments on this outstanding debt for over 18 months! This is completely ridiculous and unfair! I contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX again today, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and spoke to the representative that I spoke to in XXXX and asked him if Grant and Weber had contacted them about the missing information and he said no, Grant and Weber has all the information needed. He said he 'd call me back within the hour. It has been nearly an hour and no call back from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX All I am trying to do is take care of my responsibility now that I am employed and able to make payments. This is emotionally, mentally, and financially draining!

Consumer complaint: After receiving a debt collection notice on a bill from XXXX XXXX, I called the collection company to dispute this as I did not receive the bill. I was told by the collection agency that I should contact my insurance company for any back up regarding this bill. I called XXXX XXXX after getting the number online, and spoke to a XXXX, who could not provide me a copy of the bill and sadly told me to contact the collection agency with whom would not provide me any paper work other than what is on the collection notice. 

Since this occurred yesterday, I have had to block harassing calls. 

Please help, my health can not continue to deal with this in such a terrible manner. 

Company response: Company can't verify or dispute the facts in the complaint

Consumer complaint: I used my Macy 's card to make purchases over the past few months. When I went to pay my bills a couple months later, I noticed that I never made a payment to Macy 's. When I called Macy 's, I was immediately connected with the collection department, who notified me that I never paid bills, had accrued late fees and was reported to the credit bureaus as delinquent. Furious, I demanded an explanation as to why I was not contacted before they took the latter step. They claimed they called and sent me online statements. They had my phone number correct, and could not verify my email address. However, they claimed I had authorized online statements, which is the reason they gave for me not receiving a bill. But, you ca n't verify an email address for that? Sounds fishy ... Nonetheless, I do n't recall making the paperless billing authorization ; it was most likely in some fine print that I missed, if what they claimed is true. Still, they never reached out by phone, and they were able to verify they had the correct telephone number. They also never reached out by mail ; the address is correct since they sent me a new credit card to that address. I requested they remove the late fees from the account and remove my delinquent status from the credit bureaus. They removed the late fee, but said they could not remove the delinquent status. I paid the account in full and closed the account. I pay my bills on time, when I get the bills! Consumers should not be reported to a credit bureau as delinquent until an attempt is made BY MAIL and BY PHONE to contact them. Neither option was used. Is that even legal? It should be, especially in the world of 'paperless billing! '

Consumer complaint: For my Timeshare bill, the company does not send me a statement. I can not send my payment to the physical timeshare place ( in PA ) because they will not accept the payment. They use a service called Concord. Concord does NOT send me a statement for the amount but then sends me a collection notice and charges me an extra {$35.00} to take my payment. This has happened for the past 2 years. I ask for them to send me the statement or the copy of the statement and they never do. They also will not email me the statement. I feel this is a bait and switch. I want to make my payment, but they do not make it easy and I believe they intentionally send everyone to collections for the extra {$35.00} and late fees.

Consumer complaint: " if this is not ( my name ) please call us back at XXXX XXXX XXXX to have your phone number removed from this account and discontinue listening to this message. This is Credit Protection Association calling concerning an important business matter. Please call us back at XXXX XXXX XXXX, please refer to account reference # XXXX. This is an attempt by a debt collector to collect a debt and any information received will be used for such purposes. Again, our phone number is XXXX XXXX XXXX, thank you. '' I received a voicemail with this message earlier. I googled the phone numbers and found only that it appeared to be spam. I did find a " possible '' connected website during my search, XXXX, and I entered the account reference # from the voicemail and my zip code, but it said invalid numbers. I then tried calling the number they gave, and after several automated messages, I finally got through to a real person. I gave the person my name, after I entered my " account reference number '' and simply asked her to mail me my bill, if I indeed had XXXX. She asked for my mailing address to access my account, and I refused to give her my address. She said she could be talking to anyone and could n't give any information regarding the account ; I said I did n't need any information and to send the bill to the address that she had on file. She became rude and then hung up on me. 

I know they have my name and phone number, but if I indeed have a debt and they 're legitimately trying to collect it, they would have my address, and I assume they would be a bit more professional. 

All I want from this complaint is to find out if I actually owe money, and if this is indeed a scam, to perhaps shed some light on it for future persons affected.
