Company: Collection Resources, Inc.
State: TX
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
I paid five medical bills with this company on XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with XXXX. I paid over {$300.00} and was told that a deletion letter would be mailed my address. The representative confirmed to me that the medical collections will be removed from my credit reports after payment clears. Their calls are recorded, I hope there is a record of it. 

The letter I received was only a paid in full letter. I called back on theXXXX and spoke to another associate and she informed that a deletion was not possible and against company policy. 

I requested that a supervisor review the recorded phone call on the XXXX so they can confirm what was said. A deletion is what I was assured would happen after payment. 

This is a bait and switch. I don't know why they did this or if XXXX was not trained properly but none of that is my issue. I just want the agreement that we agreed to to be enforced. 

I don't understand why a business would operate like this.

Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
I received a call from My banking institution XXXX Bank of America ) on XX/XX/2022 from the fraud department regarding an illegal XXXX transaction made on my account. The fraud caller was impersonating a BofA representative and instructed me to send a transfer of {$3300.00} to myself in order to prevent the XXXX transfer from occurring and leaving my account. I received several text messages asking me to verify my BofA account while on the phone with the scammer. I thought what I was doing was legit at the time and proceeded to make the XXXX transaction by sending it to myself. The scammer even gave me his employee ID number as I continued to believe the caller was legit. After completing the transfer of {$3300.00}, The same scammer told me that someone was sending me a payment of {$7000.00} and that I needed to reverse the transaction by sending a payment of {$7000.00} using my savings account. Because I did not have the {$7000.00} in that account I began to ask questions as the caller began to ask me for my debit card number and PIN code. I began to get suspicious of him then the caller placed me on hold for roughly 30-45 minutes, once he returned on the phone, he said '' your account is being investigated by the Police, no further action is needed ''. That was the end of the call, now im completely out of {$3300.00}. I have filed a claim with BofA, however they denied my claim and Im not sure why. Please help!!

Complaint:
Due to a change in escrow, the monthly mortgage payment changed by {$10.00}. My bank wired the old payment amount, which was {$10.00} less than the new amount. The mortgage company ( 53 Bank ) held the funds unapplied and failed to properly contact me to advise about the unapplied funds and " missing '' monthly payment. By the time I found out about this issue, they reported my account 30-days late to the credit bureaus. This is not a " late '' payment but a misapplied payment. Also, they should have let me know about this misapplied payment prior to the 30 days. I've tried to explain the situation to their customer service and credit reporting departments and they've ignored my requests to correct this reporting.
