Complaint:
I am writing to formally dispute the validity of three collections accounts listed on my credit report, which were reported by XXXX ( hereinafter referred to as " the Collection Agency '' ).

I hereby request that the Collection Agency provide me with the following documentation within 30 days of receiving this letter, as mandated by 15 USC 1692g : A complete itemized statement of the alleged debt, including all charges, fees, and interest applied to the account. 
Proof of the existence of the debt, such as a signed agreement or contract between myself and the original creditor. 
Documentation showing that the Collection Agency is licensed to collect debts in my state.

Verification of the accuracy of the information reported to the credit bureaus concerning these disputed accounts.

If the Collection Agency fails to provide the requested information within the specified timeframe, I kindly request that they cease all collection efforts and remove these items from my credit report. Any failure to comply with my request will result in my immediate pursuit of legal remedies available to me under the FDCPA and other applicable laws. 

Please note that I expect all future communications regarding this matter to be in writing, as required by law. Additionally, any attempts to contact me via telephone or any other means, without adhering to the proper validation procedures and providing the requested documentation, will be considered a violation of my rights under the FDCPA.

Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I wrote to Phillips and Cohen assoc ltd located in XXXX DE at the direction of XXXX as XXXX said they are no longer handling my debt on my credit report. I made sure I sent certified mail on 2 separate occasions. I sent them ( Phillips and Cohen ) a letter XX/XX/2022, and XX/XX/2022 and to XXXX themselves XX/XX/2022 and requested any sort of verification, validation, fee breakdowns, etc. No one has responded ever. I asked for them to validate and verify the debt as the amounts I owe are unclear and no one can seem to give me a breakdown of fees and no one is willing to help me. I can't even pay the debt if I wanted to yet it lingers on my credit report. i have also disputed this with the credit bureaus and they have failed to help either. They continue to lie that they verified this account - but that's not possible as the reporting is incorrect with an incorrect balance, it's been illegally re-aged, it's reporting current and has been closed for years.. No one will help. I need you to step in! THis is my credit and my livelihood.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
I applied for an online loan. To make a long story short, I gave the loan company my Citi Bank bank info and they made a deposit of XXXX. I went to check my account this morning to find I no longer have access to it. I called the bank wondering whats going on and verified everything, including the deposit because thats what I seen for on deposit. Come to find out, the loan company was a scam and the bank closed my account due to them depositing a mobile check and forging my signature. I called the loan people to make them aware of what the bank had told me and they proceeded to use vulgar language with me and demanded I send them the money back. Even suggested I go to a money center like XXXX to keep going with the process. I suggested we call my bank on XXXX way so we can get to the bottom of this ( they kept claiming they were legit. They also wanted to call my bank themselves but I declined that due to the situation thats ongoing ). I explained to the bank what happened and they were thankful that I called to tell them what happened and realized I had became a victim of fraud but because my account was already in process of closure, they said they cant stop it nor can I open a new one. I think thats completely unfair because I was the one that was a victim of fraud. They shouldnt be able to label people as non trustworthy because someone fell victim to a scam during an obviously vulnerable time when you need help financially. I want to be able to continue using citi bank l. I been with them for a year and never gave them any problems and vice versa.

Each month after USBank unfairly recharged the amounts back to me. I wrote to them disputing this. I also had this written on each of my payment tickets, along with it being written on my checks.
