Complaint:
I was alerted by a credit monitoring company I use that a derogatory account was added. I looked at the account and it was Trans World Systems Inc XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXX XXXX. I was not familiar with the account that stated that account went in delinquent on XX/XX/XXXX for {$480.00} and was assigned on XX/XX/XXXX. I had not received a letter from this company and didn't know who this was so I called them and they said it was for XXXX XXXX. I had not had XXXX XXXX for almost 7 years and was sure I paid the bill they said I did not so I asked them why was the date XXXX and they said it was the date it was sent to them I asked them why was I never contacted and it was just put on my credit ad delinquent with out giving me a chance to pay and they had no answer for that. After speaking to like 3 people over two days I just paid the amount. I was not happy with this so I decided to call back on XX/XX/XXXX to find out more about this because it just didn't understand how I had a account open in XXXX when I lived in a area that XXXX XXXX didn't serve. I called the company and the rep answered he went into a long spill about me winning a {$100.00} Visa or Mastercard and before he could help me I needed to pay {$2.00} shipping fee to get the card to me. I told him I didn't want the card I just wanted help with my debt to understand what address it was for he said he couldn't help me until I paid the {$2.00} fee I refused and he hung up on me. I called back 4 times and each time the same thing no one would talk to me unless I agreed to pay {$2.00} for this credit card. I ask for a manger and was put on hold when a manager answered they started out as if they was going to help and they went right into I must pay this fee first so they could give me information I was requesting about the debt and if not they I couldn't have it. I told her it was illegal and ask for her name and she hung up on me. I was not able to get any information about my account I tried calling XXXX XXXX they told me it was sent to TransWorld and I had to contact them for information. At this time I have paid this and I really don't think it's my account and they have also now reported it on my credit as in collection/charged off and I have disputed it and can not get it removed.
