Original Complaint - " The Original Creditor ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) closed the account of {$670.00}. An unauthorized account was opened by TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS on XX/XX/XXXX. Nothing is due to TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS, who has also tried to collect the same debt under the name TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INCORPORATED, because I never agreed to a contract with them. The unauthorized account opened by TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS AND TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INCORPORATED on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS  AND TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INCORPORATED was contacted in regards to an account opened which includes XXXX XXXX XXXX. That was the first contact to TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS AND TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INCORPORATED  with a remedy, of closing the account and contacting the credit bureaus, which TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS AND TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INCORPORATED works with to have that account removed from XXXX XXXX XXXX credit report.
