Company: SUNRISE CREDIT SERVICES, INC
State: OH
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I used XXXX XXXX XXXX  for internet and cable service. I called to cancel my service and they sold me on a lower level of service at a lower cost which I agreed to. I moved to a new house about 10 months later and they charged me {$200.00} after I cancelled. I called them to dispute the charge and they told me that it was due to equipment that was not returned and I told them I had proof that I returned the requested equipment and they told me I was all settled. A few weeks later I start to get calls and letters from Sunrise Credit Services about the charge and I told them I already took care of it with XXXX XXXX XXXX, but they persisted. When I asked what the charge was for they said it was a cancellation fee for my service which XXXX XXXX XXXX never disclosed to me when I changed my service over the phone and never disclosed to me after the phone call. I never agreed to a service that included a cancellation fee. Sunrise Credit Services has also reported this to a credit reporting agency which has impacted my credit score and reflects as an unpaid debt on my report. I want these charges removed, debt cancelled, and credit reporting corrected.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
I got repeated calls saying, " A complaint is being filed against you that requires your immediate attention ... '' They left this number to call : XXXX. 

When I called they informed me that XXXX was suing me for an unpaid bill of {$1000.00}. No such bill exists. However I did have a bill with XXXX that totaled {$160.00}, a different debt collector had it and it was paid off. 

There were XXXX people that I spoke to within this offic. I informed them that I believed it to be a scam and tried to request more information and XXXX of them transferred me and XXXX of them hung up on me. I finally got someone who gave me more information and he informed me that they could have received this bill by mistake but that I should still prove that it had been paid. The offer was to prove payment, handle it outside of court by paying them 60 % upfront or all of it through payments or being taken to court where I could fight it. 

Their website does not look completely real and they use a false address, that when searched on XXXX maps give a ups location.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
Today is XX/XX/2023. I just checked my Discover XXXX XXXX account and found an unauthorized official bank check withdrawal with the amount of XXXX USD on XX/XX/2023. And XXXX days before this transaction, an email said that my XXXX passcode for the Discover XXXX XXXX has been updated. 

I actually didnt update this passcode and each time when I called them I could only change the password instead of passcode. So where the passcode comes from??? And I did not authorize any bank check withdrawals. I even have no idea how to issue a bank check from this account since its a saving account. 

So I called the Discover Bank immediately but they told me they could not stop the payment for this transaction of XXXX USD. Because I am currently in XXXX and not using the phone number on file, they said they could not verify my identity and asked me to go through a very complicated verification process which the XXXX XXXX would be involved. It might take XXXX month or more because the earliest appointment for XXXX XXXX is next month. 

Its a horrible and ridiculous experience and I am currently very worried about the safety of my money because I have not idea what is going on. I dont know why someone could easily steal my money but I need to go through such a long and complicated process to verify myself and protect my money. I still have email and address on file but they didnt really help with it. Thats really disappointed and I already lost trust on Discover Bank although Ive stayed with them for XXXX years.

Sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Complaint:
- The FTC site says that I can go to XXXX to download my credit reports from XXXX, Experian, and XXXX. I did that for all 3 agencies.

- There was incorrect information on all 3 reports. I called up each agency and they told me that they have different information and that XXXX does not have the latest credit reports. The wrong information on the reports from XXXX has been on those reports for years. 
- I do not want to have to create an account with these 3 agencies just to download my credit reports, but all 3 told me that I have to do that to get the reports with the real and accurate information. I understood that by law I should be able to download my credit reports.

- I also don't want to spend hours calling the 3 agencies to get my credit report. 
- In addition, I don't know which version of my credit reports are being communicated to those that are checking my credit. There should only be one official version of my credit report not multiple versions. How do I know that companies are getting the right version of my credit report if there are multiple versions on the agency 's sites vs. XXXX?

Complaint:
I declare under penalty of perjury ( under the laws of the United States, if executed outside of the United States ) that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Further, I certify that I am permitted by FEDERAL and STATE LAW to file this dispute. I also understand that knowing and willful misstatements or omissions of material facts constitutes a FEDERAL CRIMINAL VIOLATION punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable as perjury under 18 U.S.C. 1621. 

I sent my letter off on XX/XX/2022 & XX/XX/2022. I told the credit bureaus to investigate each of these accounts and to remove from my credit report on the accounts I have listed below. Also, I have attached the letters I sent out and here is the Tracking # XXXX # XXXX # XXXX. 

According to the FCRA the term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. 

These items found within my credit report are not related to any transactions that I have made. I am alleging that a person or company- without my authorization- used my personal identifying information to apply for goods, services, or money ; and was successful in creating this account. This debt collector is in violation for putting these unknown accounts on my credit report.This is causing me to suffer repeatedly and its defamation of my character. 

They stated my account was verified but how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law, Also every piece of information on these accounts are still not reporting XXXX XXXX accurate and according to the FCRA 15 USC 1681 everything has to be XXXX XXXX  accurate. I have the credit report showing the inaccuracies. Furthermore according to 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 these fraudulent accounts should have been blocked within 4 business days.

Complaint:
whom it may concern, I mailed several letters of dispute last one being certified on XXXX XXXX XXXX in regards how XXXX XXXX is reported on my credit report. Once again within a few days it comes back as verified. XXXX is reportinb me to be anywhere from 30 to 90 says late and being over XXXX behind. They only purchased my mortgage in XXXX from another servicer. In XXXX I obtained a government modification which at that time my acct was at a XXXX past due and my new payment became XXXX a month. It does not add up. I am given the run around when it comes to verification. According to the FCRA Rules, FCRA 623 ( b ) ( 2 ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ), it states that any information can be disputed and MUST be investigated and if you do not investigate AND respond, the CRA must delete the disputed information from its files. The fact that I received a response a week after the receipt of my certified letter, one can assume that there was no investigation into the matter. I was told they have reinvestigated the account but it seems that all they have done is parroted information given to them by other sources and shifted the burden back to me to to contact the creditor to verify the account which is clearly a violation of 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). Under section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA it states the CBA is required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.
