Complaint:
TransUnion lowered my score when a collection account was placed on my report. After proving that the account had been paid by insurance, submitting a dispute and having the account removed. My score was lowered yet again by TransUnion for the account being removed. I was told that the collection account having been removed, lowered my credit age and therefore was calculated negatively on my score. I don't believe you should be penalized twice, especially when the account has been removed because it never should have been there in the first place.

My Home Depot card had a 0 balance. I got a letter in the mail ( XXXX. XXXX, 2020 ) stating I owed {$2900.00} and that my account had been closed. My Credit limit is only {$500.00}. I called them that day to file a dispute and fraud charges. I talked with Home Depot card and Citi Bank. First person said they thought it was strange and they would fix it. They were going to reinstate my card and send out a new one, and that it would take a month to be taken care of. I never received the new card. I started getting phone calls that I owed to the Home Depot/Citi bank card. I called again, they sent me to someone from Citi Bank. They said they would take care of it. I told them I did not want another card and to cancel it. I later found out I had another one with the amount of {$120.00}?? I called them back. They told me not to worry about that card and that I did not owe it. I kept checking my account online. They kept changing the amounts back and forth to both accounts. I called them again and they sent me back to the dispute center for Home Depot. The lady asked me what my bank account number was, I told her and she said that is not where they sent the money to. I was told that the {$2900.00} was direct deposited into my account. I told them I never received any money from them. They said it would take about a month for everything to be taken care of. Meanwhile I'm still getting phone calls and the {$2900.00} and a charge is on my credit through XXXX XXXX. To this day they have not taken care of it.

Company: Lewis, McDonnell & Associates
State: OH
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
I reviewed my credit report on XXXX at XXXX and seen I have a fraudulent collection account appearing on my credit report. This is not my account and I have submitted fraud claim to XXXX. You are to remove this fraud account immediately before i pursue legal action. Under federal regulations this does not qualify as a " valid verification of debt ". I have previously sent you a request to validate my debt under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and all I received was an itemized list of the alleged charges you claim I owe you. This does not meet the Federal Trade Commissions guidelines of what constitutes proper debt validation. In addition, in the case of Spears Vs. Brennan ( IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF INDIANA, No. 49A02-0003-CV-169 ), the court ruled that : 15 U.S.C . 1692g ( b ) ( emphasis added ). On XX/XX/XXXX nineteen  days after the date of Brennans debt collection letter, Spears counsel Shepard sent Brennan a letter declaring that Spears disputes your debt collection-related allegations, denies the same, and demands strict proof and verification thereof. Record at 21. As such, Brennan should have ceased his debt collection efforts immediately upon receiving that letter. Instead, Brennan proceeded to obtain a default judgment against Spears on the debt collection claim before he had mailed Spears the necessary verification and, thus, violated 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ). Brennan maintains, however, that there was no violation of the FDCPA because he sent adequate verification of the debt [ to Spears ] in the October 30, 1996 notice of claim. Brief of Appellee at 13. Specifically, Brennan claims that a copy of the consumer credit contract between Spears and American General attached to the notice of claim provided sufficient verification of the debt within the meaning of 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ). We can not agree. The contract in no way provides sufficient verification of the debt. A review of the document reveals that it identifies only the terms of Spears loan, including a 17.99 % annual interest rate and the original loan amount of {$2500.00}. The loan agreement contains no accounting of any payments made by Spears, the dates on which those payments were made, the interest which had accrued, or any late fees which had been assessed once Spears stopped making the required payments. Indeed, the existing unpaid contract balance at the time Brennan sent the debt collection notice was at least {$350.00} more than the original loan amount.
