Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020 I received letter from Transfinancial Companies , Inc. trying to collect {$120.00} they claimed I owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had never received a bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX, so I called and talked to the bookkeeper at XXXX XXXX XXXX. She said I did not owe this bill. I then called the billing company of XXXX XXXX XXXX. The agent said I did not owe this bill. 

I then called Transfinancial at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, LA XXXX on1XX/XX/XXXX. After 10 minutes on hold a message said to leave a message as all agents were busy and could not answer, so I left a message No one returned my call.. The next day, XX/XX/XXXX, I called again with the exact same results. Again, the next day, XX/XX/XXXX, I called again with the same exact results. 

I do not believe I owe this bill. I wrote and asked Transfinancial to send me the Date-of-Service, verification of the debt or a copy of such judgment or verification, and the name and address of the original creditor. 

My calls to Transfinancial were attempts to get some information ... especially the Date-of Service. However it they will not answer the phone or return phone calls, they are likely to deny they ever received my letter requesting the information listed above.

You are stating it is your policy to comply with all applicable laws and regulations ; however, you are not following any Federal applicable laws based off the findings in this letter. First, you infringed upon my rights to privacy by selling my personal information to a third party agency. According to 15 USC 1692a, Congress is aware of the abundance of evidence of abusive debt collection practices contributing to the invasion of individual privacy such as me the consumer natural person. As a result, you violated my rights to privacy. You stated you sold this account which indicates you received income for this account. Your corporation is reporting this charge off on my credit report when in fact Pursuant to 15 USC 1681c ( a ) an account placed for charge to profit and loss is considered income for the consumer and no income shall be reported on a consumer credit report. Where is my 1099-c, so that I may file this charge off as income?
