Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
on XX/XX/2018 I called to settle my account for less than the full balance, I wanted my credit report to that I settled for less but no balance was owed as a result. 

I was given a settlement offer of {$73.00}. I paid it, waited ten days. I updated my credit report and my credit report indicates that i still owe {$40.00}. there are no remarks of a settlement being made, on my credit report. it still shows that the account is active. 

in the mail i got a payment letter, that simply indicates they collected {$73.00} with no verbiage of any kind indicating a settlement had been reached. 

I was clearly mislead, into thinking I was getting a " settlement for less than the full balance '' and that i would owe XXXX  as a result of such settlement.

Complaint:
Transworld continues to send the XXXX student loans to collection agencies even after I was able to get the loans deleted from my credit reports. Transworld has sent the loans to XXXX different collection agencies to get me to pay it, I never signed any agreements with XXXX XXXX XXXX or Transworld. The only documents that were sent had XXXX XXXX XXXX on it not XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX must show proof they own the debt and ca n't just claim they do. I already spoke with a FDCPA attorney on this and XXXX XXXX XXXX must have proof they have the rights to collect on those loans, it is not enough to send promissory notes that I signed with another company and claim that you own them without any proof. XXXX XXXX states they no longer own the debts and XXXX XXXX XXXX should have sent documentation to me that they purchased the loans and have the rights to collect on them. My mother received calls about these loans even though her name is not on them, they told her they were looking for me. Even though that was not a number to reach me and they knew this. I do not want any more collection letters on these loans. I just had XXXX XXXX call me today on these loans but XXXX had the loans about two weeks ago. Transworld needs to leave me alone. I do not owe XXXX XXXX XXXX anything because I never received proof they have the right to collect on the loans because NCT is a trust not a company and per state law they have to follow trust regulations which they have not.

Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
I was selling a mattress on XXXX for {$150.00}. I received an email from an interested buyer. Email shows the following info about him. 

Name : " XXXX XXXX '' Email : " XXXX '' Phone : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I contacted him over the phone and he said that he is out for work but will send cashier 's check via mail. I was ok with that as I wasn't aware of the cashier 's check scams on XXXX. He sent a cashier 's check of {$1900.00} and mentioned that his assistant created this check to pay the movers {$1800.00} once check is deposited. So, I deposited the check on XX/XX/2020 and waited for the money to be available. The check info is added on the recipient bank above but actually it is the sender. On Monday afternoon XX/XX/2020, the money was available in my account. He messaged me to inquire if the money is available to which I said yes. So, he gave me the address " XXXX '' to send {$1800.00} ( {$1900.00} - {$150.00} of mattress ) to the movers via Zelle. I did that through my bank, which has the option to send money using Zelle. Once I gave him a proof of transaction, he said he will schedule the pickup of mattress shortly. The next day, I looked at my account for a different reason ( second stimulus checks ) and found a hold on his check. I texted him that there was a hold today and he return the {$1800.00} until the hold is removed. He said he would do that. At that time, I felt bad about this situation and searched online to find XXXX scams using cashier 's checks. I was worried but it was already XXXX XXXX. So I waited till next morning to call my bank and report this. I checked my bank and he had not refunded the money which I expected. My bank opened a fraud case and I am currently waiting to hear back on this case. I called him and texted but there is no answer. 

Zelle and Banks should protect clients from such scams/fraud by allowing revert of transactions that are declared fraud/scams. 

I have all the info available including the text discussion.
