Complaint:
Mother passedXX/XX/2021. Added me to account months prior. Never used account until I was instructed to pay bills for her and rent as she could not do it herself. Used her money which was about XXXX to pay bills as instructed and now company has claimed her debt belongs to me just because she told me to pay her bills using HER money. I have disputed this multiple times with company. They still insist on me paying a deceased persons debt that is NOT my debt. It was her money when it was used. I did not want an account with the original creditor but she added me to account.

Complaint:
For the last couple of months XX/XX/XXXX through present Ihave been receiving a call from some company which looks like a local number calling - could not recognize what they were saying on my voicemail - person speaking sounded distorted - stated something about need signature and social security number - press 1 to accept message or call back an XXXX number - couldn't really understand them - I ignored it but on Tuesday XX/XX/XXXX received another call so I finally returned a call to the number on my caller ID which looked local and someone answered and I asked them who they were and why were they calling me - they stated they were from Cordoza and Wexler a settlement company and asked is this and they stated my name and that they were trying to collect a debt on a payday loan from XXXX which was never repaid - what was really upsetting was they had my bank name and some of my other personal information & my email address - I do not remember taking out a payday loan from the company they stated and for the amount they stated which was quite large and what is really crazy is the payday loan companies only allow you to take out loans in an amount comparable to your wages - I know for a fact I could not have taken out a loan for that amount - she told me that I could find proof of payment and send it to them so I went through all my XXXX receipts and could not find any record of any type of payday loan - I knew there wouldn't be one - after that I was really upset so I called them back and I flat told them I don't know who the XXXX you are & how you possibly got my personal information but you can go take a flying powder as far as I'm concerned and please send me proof of any type of documentation that I owe this debt and paperwork with my signature and I will be forwarding this on to my attorney and I will be filing a complaint with the Consumer Finance group - as of today I have not seen any type of documentation from them through email and I don't know if they have my address so I will be checking my mail the next several days to see if anything is mailed to me which I doubt - I plan to contact local law enforcement and Lodge a complaint for fraud and extortion against this group of people - I am truly sick and tired of all the scam artists in this world who try to take from people who have worked hard all their life. One thing further I was part of the breach at XXXX  and possibly they got information from there and that is how they're trying to scam people Please be aware that this group of people are scam artists and are trying to collect money that you do not owe or possibly have already paid back.

State: FL
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:
In XXXX I opened a Barclays Card XXXX XXXX Master Card, a promotional offer on an XXXX XXXX flight. I subsequently never used the card. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I was advised the account has been closed due to delinquency. I contacted Barclays on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. A " representative '' researched the account, found the {$99.00} amount " due '' was only for an annual membership renewal and that I had never used the account. I stated I wanted the account closed, the membership fee credited and the derogatory delinquent status removed from the credit bureau reporting. The representative, after looking at my other XXXX Barclay Card long history and good-standing, stated that he would do precisely that. I was provided a case # XXXX. I have since found the derogatory status has reduced my XXXX score from XXXX to XXXX. 
I contacted Barclays today as I had previously requested to be copied on communications to the credit bureaus. The " representative '' today was much less helpful, unable to provide confirmation of anything ( other than confirmation of the case # ) and  basically told me to file a claim with " FCRA ''. I do not feel that Barclays is cooperating in this matter in a timely nor professional, informative matter. I would like reassurance that the proper, agreed upon info is sent to the credit reporting agencies.

Complaint:
I, XXXX XXXX, under the penalty of perjury certify and affirm that all forthcoming statements are true. XXXX is violating my federally protected rights per 15 USC 1681 by reporting inaccurate incomplete and fraudulent information to my credit report that is being furnished by unauthorized and predatory XXXX party companies. I have been disputing these accounts as fraud since XX/XX/XXXX. I have yet as of XX/XX/XXXX received any proof as permissible purpose of reporting these fraudulent accounts. Every time I write to or call XXXX they claim information being reported has been validated but I have yet to receive any documentary evidence that supports the permissible purpose of this information being reported or furnished on my XXXX credit report which not only violates the FCRA but also the FDCPA per 15 USC 1692. If the companies furnishing these accounts to XXXX are not able to provide debt validation or proof that they are the original holder of the note of indebtedness that legally allows them to still be able to collect or retain the debt, then the accounts shall be deleted immediately. XXXX seems to lack impartiality as they have been claiming for over a year that these debts have been validated without permissible purpose or evidence because they are gaining financially from these unauthorized third-party companies who pay XXXX to report fraudulent consumer credit transaction history. Please see attached notarized identity theft complaint and affidavit, identification documents such as XXXX issued drivers license and my current insurance bill, as well as all police reports, FTC identity theft and fraud complaints, and CFPB complaints that have been received by XXXX and all unauthorized XXXX parties listed in the notarized affidavit and complaint.
