Company: Phoenix Financial Services LLC
State: NC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023, I sent a debt validation letter to the debt collection company via USPS certified mail. I have proof that the letter was received by the company 's secretary at the front desk on XX/XX/2023. The tracking number for the USPS certified mail receipt is XXXX. 

The letter requested validation of an alleged debt that the company claims I owe. This request was made in accordance with my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

However, as of today 's date, more than 30 days have passed since the letter was received by the company, and I have not received any response or validation of the alleged debt. This lack of response is in violation of the FDCPA, which requires debt collectors to validate debts upon request within a 30-day period.

Due to the company 's non-compliance, I am being unjustly subjected to the negative impacts of an unverified debt, including potential harm to my credit score. I intend to pursue this matter until my rights under the FDCPA are upheld and the situation is rectified. The amount of the debt is {$980.00} and account number XXXX

The credit agency is threatening and is posting on my credit report when it should be removed after some years.

They are menacing and unethical practices are causing frustration, time, and unable to move forward. This has been harassment non-stop.

Complaint:
Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response and this was my many attempts from the 3 Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you. They have shown negligence and an act of refusal of complying with my request. I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, to provide proof, documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to correct the accounts which are erroneous and unverified. Their unfavorable and unacceptable actions have been hurting my credit scores immensely. Please see below the accounts I am concerned of and kindly help me to delete these Charge off and late closed accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - I need the following investigated account name, date of last activity, and opening date. I believe this information may be wrong. I need this removed immediately. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Owed : {$2900.00} - I believe this account is reporting inaccurately. I do not recall ever having a legal obligation with this company nor do I believe one exists. Please provide me verifiable proof this account belongs to me. I request a signed contract which is the ONLY LEGAL authority that stipulates an agreement. Please remove it. 
XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$160.00} - The limit to this account was a fraction of the amount due it was stating. That is utterly unfathomable! Had a proper investigation been conducted you would have seen the error and corrected it immediately. You failed to do your job ; you must now REMOVE THIS ITEM ALTOGETHER. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$560.00} - I requested an investigation and the removal of the charge-off status. No changes were made. No investigation was conducted at all. You had optimal time to review this matter and make the appropriate corrections, you elected not to. Please remove this item immediately.

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern : Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Im writing because I noticed that my most recent credit report contains an old account that was included in my bankruptcy - XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX  in the amount of {$1600.00}.

According Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, debt discharged in bankruptcy has a statute of limitations for reporting - 7 years. This account was paid off/ discharged in XXXX, which is 7 years ago.

As a single mother of 3, Im planning to apply for a mortgage as a first time homebuyer, and its come to my attention that the missed payment on my record could hurt my ability to qualify. I truly believe that it doesnt reflect my creditworthiness and commitment to repaying my debts. It would help me immensely if you could give me a second chance and make a goodwill adjustment to remove the very old account Thank you for your consideration, and I hope youll approve my request.
