Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from my stepson. He had received a call from the following number XXXX. The caller told him they were trying to get a hold of me and that I had missed a " court date '' and that I was in trouble and that I was in contempt of court and was going to be arrested. 

I called the number and got routed to an individual who said he was with XXXX and XXXX and he was a paralegal. He asked me the number they called, I gave them my stepson 's number and then he asked me if my social security number ( which he proceeded to state ) was correct. I said yes that it was my social security number. He then proceeded to tell me that a process server called me and that they were going to garnish my wages, and put a lein on my property ( in which, he then proceeded to name off the address for my house ). 

I then asked him why and he said that it was for a " Citibank card from XXXX, '' then he " no from XXXX '' and then said, " from XXXX or XXXX. '' He then stated I owed over {$4000.00} and that they would settle for {$2100.00}. He asked me if I was aware of the debt. I told him no I wasn't aware of it. I then stated that the debt likely wasn't valid and regardless, the statute of limitations had run out. He then stated " there is no limitations, we are going to garnish your wages and going to put a lein on your house in XXXX XXXX, the County will be sending you that .... keep running... go ahead keep running. '' At that point I wasn't going to be harrassed any longer and just hung up the phone.

On XX/XX/XXXX Comenity Bank for Victoria secret started reporting a new closed account. It has the exact same open date, charge off status, credit limit, close date ... ect the only difference is it has a different account number. The one that belonged to me was number XXXX. The new second account ends in XXXX. I called comenity and they said in the system it shows I never had the account ending in XXXX. I was then told they can't do anything because there isn't an account to fix. I asked for an email or phone number to their credit reporting office and they said neither exist. I can only send a letter through the post office and wait. I don't want to wait it hurt my credit immensely. I filed a dispute through the reporting companies and they said it would remain on my credit. 

I have even paid the collection through XXXX for the charge off that was my responsibility.

Complaint:
Account ending in XXXX. On XXXX  I opened 5 billing disputes against the same merchant. The merchant wasnt able to fulfill my orders and advised me, in writing, to charge back those transactions with my bank. I uploaded a copy of this communication to Amex. 

On XX/XX/, Amex credited my account for the disputed transactions. This credit is usually temporary pending dispute investigation. 

On XX/XX/, Amex closed t he 5 dispute cases in my favor. It has been more than 30 days since I filed the dispute. Amex gives merchants 20 calendar days to challenge charge backs, that time has now passed and the credit balance is no longer temporary. I submitted multiple requests to Amex to refund the remaining credit balance without success. Every time I receive the following message : We wanted to let you know that unfortunately we are unable to process a wire transfer at this time. Your account is under review with another department.
I never received any sort of communication from that department r

egarding this review. Under 12 CFR 1026.11, Am
ex is required to refund any part of the remaining credit balance within 7 business days from receipt of a written request from the consumer.

Complaint:
Hello, I hope this message finds you well. A couple of months I reviewed my credit profile and seen inaccurate information regarding an alleged collection XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. There is only one source of information which is the original creditor of this alleged account. How can the date of activity be different for every bureau if all of you should be verifying your information from the same source? Immediately Update this account. Prior to submitting this complaint, I have sent over 3 letters to the Bureaus to have them send the proper validation of this alleged collection. I have even requested documents to be provided to prove that the payments were indeed in the collection. However, all bureaus have avoided me. This makes me angry my consumer rights are being violated! I have the right to dispute any misleading information. I saw a ton of inaccuracies as well ( different open/close dates ). Doesn't this go against the FCRA Laws?
