Company: Express Recovery Services, Inc.
State: UT
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
Express Recovery is reporting a ridiculous debt on my credit file that must be removed. I recently talked to the XXXX XXXX XXXX who has been handling my account and they said they're sending me to collections over {$0.00}. I have no idea what this is for, and I am more than willing to pay {$0.00} cents but when I call Express Recovery they say I owe way more than I do for this account. When I spoke to the XXXX XXXX XXXX they said that all of my accounts with them are in good standing and that nothing in the last 2 years has been sent to Express Recovery. I have no clue what is going on here. I ask that Express Recovery remove anything from my credit file regarding this account, it is erroneous and I'm more than willing to pay the {$0.00} owed on this account but I need this validated to be. Please be advised that reporting invalidated debt on my credit report can constitute fraud under both federal and state laws. This is absolutely ridiculous please delete.

Complaint:
Hello, Happy XXXX ... ..on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I mailed off a dispute letter after learning that there was something on my report from this company called World Finance Corp . They sent me a letter asking for a payment and not proof. So recently XX/XX/XXXX I sent them another letter asking for more proof or else I will have to file a suite against them. Still nothing. I too reached out to the credit bureaus for reporting this false information on those same dates. Including XXXX on all three Credit Bureaus. XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. This past XX/XX/XXXX I sent a second round of letters asking for them to please provide proof or remove the documents. Everything I mailed off was certified mail and was tracked. They did receive everything I mailed off. No one has provided me proof according to Fair Credit Reporting Act section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( including but not limited to Section 807-8 ) 4. ) Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( including but not limited to Section 623-b ) As per FTC opinion letter from Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX, you should be aware that a printout of a bill or itemized document does not constitute verification.

Complaint:
Spite years of efforts both transunion and XXXX have been impossible for me to upload identity theft victim documents through their portals.

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX I purchased 2 sofas & 2 chairs from XXXXXXXX XXXX. The furniture totaled {$2300.00} no where near the {$8200.00} amount being reported on my credit report by XXXXXXXX XXXX. I have no idea where this amount came from. I agreed to do a 12 months same as cash deal with the sales person at XXXX. It was right before they closed for the day & their printer ran out of ink & they could not provide me with copies of any of my agreement and agreed to email me copies, but then they did not. 

I had made payments totaling {$2100.00} then contacted XXXXXXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX to pay my remaining balance so that I could pay the account off prior to the 12 months at the cash purchase amount, but the remaining balance I was given was not at all correct. They quoted me an outrageous amount over {$6000.00}, no where close to what should have been owed. I could not ever get XXXXXXXX XXXX to send me copies of my paperwork that I didnt received upon purchase or afterwards by email as promised.. I never got an explanation to what was going on, so in early XXXX, I contacted the District Manager XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) through an email I found on a letter & he told me a balance of {$940.00} which was much closer to the amount that should have been owed.. I asked him how I could go about paying this amount & he never responded.. so I tried again to call the # I had to pay the account off but was still being told the much higher balance.. Im not trying to make excuses but around that same time my mother was diagnosed with XXXX XXXX XXXX & my time & energy went into caring for her, not arguing with them & the debt took a backseat in my life.. After my mom passed away, I tried once again to resolve the situation.. without any luck & upon finding multiple lawsuits & countless records of this company doing the same thing to other consumers I filed a dispute with the credit bureaus without any luck. It says they verified the account but I wasnt provided any documentation of this & I dont understand how they verified information that is so incorrect.. I have no problem paying the {$940.00} that I owed on the account, but I will not pay thousands of dollars that I do not owethe incorrect information is effecting my life in a very negative way.. employers in the field of my finance background wont hire me based on a collection on my credit report & Ive also been denied credit.. any help in resolving this matter would be much appreciated..
