Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I spoke with XXXX from XXXX XXXX. I was informed my vehicle was in repossession status and I had three options. XXXX. To refinance my loan XXXX. Sell the vehicle XXXX. Allow XXXX to repossess the vechicle. I knew with allowing XXXX to repossess the Vehicle that my credit score would be severely impacted. So, I applied to refinance my loan which due to XXXX  and the lack of work, my credit score was not in any shape for refinancing. Extremely overwhelmed, I called XXXX back the next day to work out a settlement deal that was more feasible for me. I only owed $ XXXX on my vehicle and knew there could be a payoff request I could make. XXXX offered to drop the amount to {$9300.00} and once payment was received by XXXX, XXXX agreed to settled the account. XXXX also agreed to send me a letter for the credit bureaus noting the account was paid in full, the account was in good standing and to remove any negative impact in which the account currently had off my credit reports. I received the letter from XXXX dated XX/XX/2022, which did not state the removal from my credit report. The letter I received stated nothing close to what was agreed upon. XXXX received my payment as promised and failed to comply with their agreement. Due to XXXX failing to comply with the agreement, it has been detrimental to my livelihood, causing me enormous levels of stress due to my credit report having such a large delinquent on it from XXXX. I have made several attempts to resolve this matter with XXXX but to no avail has it been rectified. XXXX  received payment as promise once we agreed to settle.

Company: Financial Recovery Services, Inc.
State: OH

Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Complaint:
I received a letter from a debt collection company by the name of Financial Recovery Services INC dated XX/XX/XXXX - which states that the current creditor is XXXX XXXX who is in affiliation with XXXX XXXX. The letter they sent me clearly violates the FDCPA 807 ( 10 ) "  False or misleading representations '' in which the preclude to the letter states " Assigned as a Pre-Legal Account ''. The letter continues on with multiple misleading and confusing statements cited as : If we can not resolve this account, our client will place the account with a law firm and in the same paragraph goes on to state We do not make any decision whether to place any account with a law firm as that decision rests solely with our client. No decision will be made regarding whether to place any account with a law firm until after the end of time frame described below. This is clearly misleading as in one sentence they tell me it WILL be placed with a law firm and a few sentences later it is inferred that it may or may not be sent to a law firm by the beginning sentence of No decision will be made regarding whether to place. This is an illegal practice under FDCPA in which the debt collector is threatening legal action that has no proven intent and is also violation committed by Financial Recovery Services under FDCPA 807 ( G ) ( 5 ). Any letter from a debt collector or creditor has to be clear and concise and be able to be understood by the least sophisticated consumer. The materiality element of the Least Sophisticated Debtor Standard does not hinge on what an ordinary individual might reasonably interpret from a debtors communication, but rather, a material statement is one that has a natural tendency to influence or has the capability of influencing the decision of the decisionmaking body to which it was addressed. Id. Here, the relevant decisionmaking body is the least sophisticated debtor. Id. ( citing XXXX v. XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ). 
Furthermore, Financial Recovery Services states that the " current creditor '' is XXXX XXXX. Under the FDCPA the term " creditor '' is defined as anyone who extends or offers credit. Financial Recovery Services nor XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) has ever extended or offered any credit to me.

Complaint:
I called XXXX this morning to arrange payment on my school loans that had gone to default. I dont make a lot of money, I have a lot of other bills, but I would like to be working towards some end of my debt, even if Im making small payments. The call started off relaxed as I explained I wanted to start off with small payments and increase them in the future. This is where things started to take a dark turn. I was told I needed to make a payment of over {$4000.00} up front and then go onto a payment schedule of over {$600.00} a month. I told him that was impossible. My budget allowed more towards {$100.00}. He started to become invasive in where I worked, what kind of money I make, telling me there was no way theyd allow me to make that low of a payment. I had let it slip early on in our conversation that I worked in retail and would have longer hours soon. He said I should put all of my extra money into paying my loan and that I should also use my tax return for it. I was getting beside myself and trying so hard to get him to understand I couldnt, I needed a new car ( mine is totaled ) and he took advantage that moment to accuse I was trying to put all my money towards a lengthy car payment ( not true ), to which I said, look, I have to drive to work in order to pay you, if I dont have a car to drive to work, I have nothing. I said somewhere I was borrowing my moms car and he said I should ask my parents for money to pay the loan. I said, well, my dad is dead. My mom is on a fixed income. He kept pushing that my mom should pay my loan. I said, Im supposed to just borrow my moms money and try and pay her back over 20 years? And he said like youre doing to us? I said the whole argument was ridiculous because she has no money, shes sick, and over 70 years old. He stopped pressing that point. Then he said I should get a second job. At this point I was crying. I was in therapy just to be at THIS point, I couldnt handle a second job. I was sobbing. I said I called him, I was trying to give him money for my loan. I said it was pointless to tell him, but that were at time in our country where people arent paying loans. But I called HIM. Im trying to pay and he wont let me. He finally said he would accept {$200.00} a month for 4 months and then reevaluate in XX/XX/XXXX. 

This was horrible. I was determined to start paying back what I owed and now Im fearing how Im supposed to go on without an extra XXXX dollars a month. I felt attacked personally on all sides, I felt traumas revisited, i feel less inclined to try and settle other debts, I was crying on and off through work all day. I feel abused and emotionally exploited. This is a problem because I know Im not the only one experiencing conversations like this. It is not helping and it makes me want to cancel everything and just disappear.
