Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: LA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Requested debt validation on XX/XX/2020 via certified mail. The collection agency signed for the letter on XX/XX/2020. 

A complete and timely debt validation has still not been received by me as of today 's date - XX/XX/2020. This is well past 45 days. By federal law the collection agency is supposed to provide debt validation within 30 days ( 45 days during this pandemic ). If they do not then the debt is to be removed from my credit report.

My credit file has merged with another person of similar name. I have called the credit bureaus, and they admitted the error. They are in the process of removing inaccurate/merged information from my file. XXXX  has nearly completed it at this time. I am waiting on the other credit bureaus to complete the process. 

In the meantime, I am having difficulty with this collection agency. The debt they are attempting to collect is not mine. They have not validated it, and will not do anything to rectify the situation. 

I am a small business owner. I employee 9 people full time. I discovered this credit mess when I applied with the XXXX for a disaster loan ( in XX/XX/2020 ) to save my business during this pandemic. I was denied for the XXXX Loan based on my low credit score. 

My score is low due this collection agency and 3 others reporting inaccurate information on my credit report. The XXXX will reconsider my loan request if I can get my credit score back up. 

I have followed all protocols under the FCRA to attempt to resolve this situation. The collection agency is not cooperating in any way at all. 

I have documented everything, and am prepared to initiate a lawsuit if necessary. My attorney will be involved should it come to this. THIS COLLECTION AGENCY IS IN CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE FCRA, AND ADDITIONAL STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS. 

I simply wish to resolve this matter so that I can keep my business running, and maintain my employees jobs and livelihood. 

Thank you

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Banking errors

Complaint:
Hello, I have an account with Wise where I typically store USD to facilitate international fund transfers. In this case, Wise has erroneously charged me a {$46.00} fee for a canceled fund transfer by treating it as two separate transfers. 

On XX/XX/23 I mistakenly made a transfer from another XXXX XXXX account I possess to my Wise USD balance in the amount of {$7100.00}, of which {$48.00} were fees and commissions collected by Wise ( Wise transfer # XXXX ). 

On XX/XX/23 I realized my originating XXXX XXXX account did not possess sufficient funds for the transfer and contacted Wise to notify them so that they could cancel the transfer as the originating bank told me they, of course, would not transmit the requested funds. 

On XX/XX/23 Wise responded to my notification and falsely claimed that the transfer had already been completed, which is impossible since the originating bank informed me they had not and would not transmit the funds. 

On XX/XX/23 Wise notified me that the transfer had indeed failed and that they would deduct the balance from my Wise USD account. However, they deducted more than the transfer amount, leaving me with a {$46.00} negative balance, even though I had left the total amount of {$7100.00} untouched. 

On follow-up exchanges with Wise between XX/XX/23 and XX/XX/23, I attempted to contact Wise to clarify the issue and asked them to refund the {$46.00} fee that they had erroneously charged. This has left it impossible for me to use my Wise account without first paying the {$46.00} erroneously charged fee. They have further threatened to close my account over the matter. 

It seems to me that Wise is treating the one canceled transfer as two separate transfers, in an attempt to extract a {$46.00} fee. I believe they have erroneously done this by floating me the funds so that the transfer appeared as completed within their system. However, it was never completed because the funds were never transmitted. 
The user agreement with Wise does not allow for such a fee. I know Wise is not a traditional bank, but I and most others use it as such, and therefore should follow the rules of a normal bank.

Complaint:
I placed an order on XXXX on XX/XX/2020 ( Order # XXXX, Total {$35.00} ). The order was for paper back books and XX/XX/XXXX books. The seller only sent paper back books. So I got in contact with the seller and the seller asked for my shipping address on XX/XX/XXXX then provided a fake tracking number on XX/XX/XXXX. I initiated a chargeback with my Discover credit card and contacted XXXX right away. XXXX confirmed on XX/XX/XXXX that a refund was issued to my Discover credit card on XX/XX/2020 for {$20.00}. However, I never saw the refund in my card then contacted both Discover Bank and XXXX. Per XXXX customer service representative, XXXX issued the refund on XXXX XXXX and discover bank has my money. To my surprise it that Discover bank claimed I lost the dispute even when XXXX already admitted to me twice on XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX that XXXX had refunded me.

I do not mind spending money and time on this incorrect information. I have kept a paper trail of everything I have sent off with certified mail and a copy of the letters.

A collection is by default past due, DELETE account for inaccurate reporting.

I contacted Comenity Capital to state I was struggling due to COVID-19 and that I had not received my statement to my email address, mail or online account and since they do not allow autopay, I forgot to make my payment. I received the first phone call about my late payment only AFTER they already reported my payment late to the credit bureau. How terrible is that? 

My dad has stage XXXX XXXX, my husband lost his job, I am working 65 hours per week and my in-laws have been recovering from XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX wants to ding me over 2 missed payments to the time of {$60.00} which I paid immediately when they called me and have since paid off my balance in full. 

They are cruel, predatory and unfair and state that they are helping consumers in accordance with the CARES act and when I called them they stated that they could do nothing for me playing completely XXXX. Please help or my families financial future will be crushed. This caused my credit score to go down below any acceptable range for any lender.
