Complaint:
Universal Debt Collections, through a proxy number impersonated an officer of the law stating that they were requesting permission to serve me with court summons, claiming a lawsuit had been filed to me. Stating the company of origin had filed the suit, and that I could settle out of court. When I chose out of court restitution he claimed to not worry about the company name on the charge, its just a third party processor. Which the number on the charge clearly is the main office number of Universal Debt Collections.

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
I received a phone call from the fraud department at Wells Fargo on XX/XX/XXXX  concerning a transaction from my savings account for {$25000.00}. WF stated that the money was a wire transfer initiated through online banking. That afternoon, I went to my local WF branch and spoke to a representative about the fraudulent transfer. I'm not sure why, at that point, WF didn't freeze the wire transfer. I told them this was not done by me ( or my wife ) and a claim was started to dispute the transaction ( claim # XXXX ). WF closed the savings account, reopened another, and moved the remaining money into this new account. On XX/XX/, we received a letter from WF stating that our claim was denied and that they determined the transaction was performed by me or someone using my username and password. Moreover, WF stated that we are responsible for online wires that originate using my username and password. I did not make this wire transfer. Please help me to recover the {$25000.00}.

Account Name has violated my
federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. As a reporting agency that has assumed the role of assembling and reporting information on consumers such as myself, the FCRA requires that it is done so in a manner that is fair and equitable. XXXX XXXX, legally obtained personal and private information and sold it to other reporting agencies, including XXXX, Equifax and XXXX. | did not grant XXXX  XXXX permissible purpose to obtain the information and report it, nor did the debtor. I have not been notified that this information is being provided to the highest bidders. 

As the consumer and natural person, I am invoking specified remedy and make the following demands : Cease and desist reporting of the account name filings to all consumer reporting agencies. 
Remove reporting of the account name filings from all consumer reporting agencies. 


Ignoring this Cease and Desist will be evidence that the infringements were willing, deceptive, and in violation of the FCRA.

State: IL
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint:
I attempted to go through the dispute process with Transunion regarding an erroneous item on my credit report allegedly involving XXXX XXXX. The amount being claimed is {$2500.00}. This item originally was brought by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I complained. I subsequently tried to have my credit cleared. It was then pursued by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX after I went through the TransUnion dispute process. The only cellular phone services I ever used were XXXX XXXX and my current carrier, XXXX. I never had a XXXX account. I am also concerned about the fact that the item appears as " open '' anew once a new collection firm acquires the matter. This is very unfair. I feel that as a consumer, I am being abused by TransUnion. They conduct themselves in a manner that is biased against the consumer and favorable to corporate interests. In this instance, it is harder for a consumer to get an erroneous matter off of a credit report than it is for the private entity to place an erroneous item on a consumer 's report. I kindly request help with this matter.
