Company: Convergent Resources, Inc.
State: AL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2018 Convergent Outsourcing contacted me about what turns out was an old XXXX bill for {$750.00}, which was incorrect way back a long time ago. I told the representative, who sounded foreign, that I do not owe that because it was discharged several years prior because I had contacted XXXX  a long time ago and they told me it had been discharged. He began to raise his voice and tell me I was wrong and yell. I told him I wasn't paying it and they need to remove it because it should not be on my credit report. He kept talking over me and threatened to report it on my credit, which they did immediately. I told him not to ever call me or contact me in any way again. Since then, it keeps getting reported to look like there are late payments and at first glance it looks like it's an account that was opened in XXXX of 2018 because they actually had reported it then. It has been updated every month since XX/XX/2018 and looks like late payments. I do not owe these people and I want it removed from any credit bureau they have reported it to. I was so upset after this guy 's harassing call, I was in tears. I have enough on my plate with health problems and stress in my family. Please, please help me get this removed. I have read other peoples ' issues in dealing with this company and some are very similar to mine and worse. Thank you.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Complaint:
XXXX at XXXXXXXX XXXX - I received a phone call from ( XXXX ) XXXX stating that someone will show up to my residence, or my place of work, to provide me a lawsuit on behalf of Citi Bank. And to have my ID and SSN ready when they do. 

XXXX at XXXX - I placed a call, outgoing, to XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX, and spoke with one of XXXX XXXX XXXX three employees. I explained I had no prior knowledge of them trying to contact me, and this is the first call ever received from them. They stated that they have been sending information to my parents, who live in NY ( XXXX in Texas ), whom would definitely let me know that I had unfinished financial issues. They also proceeded to state that Citi Bank DOES NOT place accounts into collections, until all options have been exhausted. I was scared but did say I could pay but not right now. I need time and more information. This isnt the first time someone attempted to scam me claiming its for Citi Bank. 

XXXX at XXXX - I contacted the original company I was in debt with, Citi Bank XXXX and they filed a 1099-C, back in XXXX, I believe. My debt was reported as income to the IRS. And charged-off. They have no knowledge of any third-party collection agency. 

XXXX at XXXX - XXXX contact XXXX XXXX XXXX explaining everything I just found out. They tried to explain they picked up the debt from a different third party agency, but refused to provide a name. I called back two more times, after speaking to a very rude representative, and got sent straight to hold. 

XXXX at XXXX - I placed two more calls with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX after speaking extensively with Citi Banks collections/Recovery Department, and politely asked for the original documentations ; original account number, the card number and what type of card, and the third party agency they received the information from. The lady, XXXX, stated [ they ] DO NOT hand out that information at all. She then refused my request for her to email me the information instead. 

That is my right to know, especially if it pertains to me, lawsuits, and my SSN floating around so freely. 

The second call, I was transferred over to the same very aggressive male representative who wouldnt let me speak, and stated they already started the dispute. I couldnt even ask them to cease and desist, before he hung-up on me. 

Im currently in business with XXXX XXXX, and they see nothing on my credit reports showing anything negative from Citi Bank, or able to verify XXXX XXXX XXXX statement of this account being in collections.

Hello! Thank you for your response to previous complaint ref # XXXX I am seeking additional information, just to confirm it is common practice to attempt and reach a consumer prior to consumer receiving a letter/notification related to any attempt to collect a debt? I was under the impression that the letter had to be sent out to consumer prior to any company attempting to collect a debt. I had initially filed the complaint ref XXXX because I do not recognize the phone number that attempted to reach me, I understand per previous response, this is for consumer protection however, it did not disclose it was an attempt to collect a debt, just to call that number back, tactics seem deceiving. I did see the attachment dated XX/XX/19, yesterday and attempts to reach me were made early this morning I want to confirm that this letter was mailed out yesterday or this morning as Ill be on the look out for it, thank you in advanced for your prompt attention to this matter.
