Company: R & B Corporation of Virginia
State: VA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I had a payment arrangement with XXXX XXXX that was incorrectly setup by the hospital. Because of this, no automatic payment was made and they cancelled the payment arrangement. XXXX mailed me a letter that got to me after the deadline for resolution, so they sent it over to Credit Control Corporation ( CCC ) for collection. 
Since this debt was due to hospital error, I requested validation of the debt from CCC. I sent the letter to XXXX. via Certified Mail with delivery receipt. They received the letter on XX/XX/XXXX. In the validation request I asked for : name/address of creditor, a copy of the original payment arrangement, copy of last billing statement sent to me by creditor, date they obtained the file, original amount of the debt, statement of additional interest accrued, and date creditor says debt became delinquent, among other things. I received partial information this week- They only sent me a Detailed Hospital Charges ( Detail Bill ) from XXXX printed on XX/XX/XXXX, which only includes current Balance Due and breakdown of services/dates. 
They are not giving me enough information to prove that I owe this debt to them.

Complaint Regarding Credit Report Inaccuracies Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. I have been actively disputing these inaccuracies with the credit bureaus, but they have failed to adequately investigate my claims or remove the incorrect information. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I attached the PDF file below containing the list of items that have violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. 

Credit Bureau stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify or delete accounts that aren't reporting correctly. 

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

I also believe that the credit bureaus have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to : 1. Investigate my disputes in a timely and reasonable manner : The credit bureaus have not provided a clear explanation for their decision not to remove the inaccurate information, and I believe their investigation was inadequate. 

2. Furnish accurate information to creditors : The inaccurate information on my credit report is harming my ability to obtain credit and other financial services. 

3. Follow the FCRA 's dispute resolution procedures : The credit bureaus have failed to comply with the timeframes and procedures outlined in the FCRA. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate my complaint and take the following actions : 1. Order the credit bureaus to remove the inaccurate information from my credit report. 

2. Require the credit bureaus to provide me with a copy of my updated credit report reflecting the changes. 

Enclosures : Copies of my credit reports Copies of my dispute letters Copies of any supporting documentation I provided to the credit bureaus

Complaint:
Hello, today XX/XX/2021 I found out that LCS Capital, one of my debt collectors, has been contacting my supervisor at my job on a regular basis. I found LCS 's phone number ( the same on they call me with everyday ) inside of my coworker 's phone. I asked my coworker about it and she denied everything about it even though we have the same number in both of our phones ( I have proof ) Now it would be important to note that my Supervisor doesn't have any private debt because she didn't go to college. It is also clear in the debt practices that a debt collector is not supposed to be contacting the people around me. 
.I want them to be penalized for this and I want them to stay out of my professional and personal life because it seems like they have no problem stepping over the line.

Complaint:
Today ( XX/XX/21 ) a collections dispute was REMOVED from TransUnion. TU dropped my score by 60 points. The only thing that changed was this removal. I had disputed the collections ( medical ) because of wrong information and it was not me. The derogatory mark was removed, and immediately my score dropped 60 points lower. I called TU and was told they could not tell me the reason why and they could not supply my credit report. TU then tried selling me a service at {$19.00} a month for this information. Not once but twice with the sales pitch. This appears like a " pay for credit boost '' scheme. My XXXX increased by 62 points as a result of the collections removal. Very strange that TU dropped it 60 and then tried to sell me a monthly service for any information relating to my score.

Complaint:
Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Complaint:
While My wife and I were trying to make an offer to buy a condominium at XXXX XXXX of South Carolina. Our realtor advised us to get a mortgage pre-qualification letter from a lender. He recommended XXXX XXXX to get the mortgage from so weve filled an application on XX/XX/2022. The bank sent us an email to inform that our loan was denied due to low credit score of XXXX. 
I asked for the credit report to see our overall score which were XXXX, XXXX, XXXX for my wife and XXXX. XXXX for myself. 
I communicated with XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX to explain that my Medicare refused to pay some of my medical lab bills therefore the small debit amount appeared on my credit report. I informed the bank that I am willing to pay that debit if the bank will reconsider evaluating my loan application accordingly. For fairness the lender shouldnt take the lowest score out of five scores as a reason to deny our loan and kill our dream to buy the condo. 
We believe the Gentlemen did not promote the equal lending opportunity act. 
Attached some of our correspondence email
