Company: ERC
State: IL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Hello, ERC and XXXX XXXX are illegally attempting to collect a debt that does not belong to me. 

I received a debt collection notice from ERC on XX/XX/XXXX. I was confused as to why I received this letter, but I opened it because it was addressed to me. 

I opened the letter to discover that I somehow owe a debt to XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$340.00}. I had never done business with XXXX XXXX in my life, ever! 

Confused, I decided to contact ERC, the debt collectors. They never answered their phone. After contacting them through email and explaining the mistaken collection, they told me I needed to contact XXXX 

I contacted XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX to get to the bottom of this. I was able to speak with someone, and after sharing with them the information on the notice which had the account number on it, they were able to see who the account belonged to as well as a starting date for service. 

The XXXX XXXX representative informed me that the account was made in XXXX, XXXX. They could not locate my information anywhere even after providing my social security number. The woman on the phone literally stated they have no record of me as a customer. I suspect the name on the account was from the previous owner of the home of which I became the owner of in XX/XX/XXXX. I suspect this because they had my current address on file and relayed that the account was created in XXXX of XXXX, but provided no name. I was also XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX living with my parents. 

After relaying these facts to the representative, she directed me to fill out an identity theft form provided through XXXX 's fraud portal on their website. I filled out the forms and provided the necessary documents to the best of my ability. They required Proof of residency from the past 8 years. In addition to providing my living history, I provided proof of purchase of my current home from XXXX, XXXX. 

After I submitted all the required information I received an email from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX stating I need to provide proof of residency from XX/XX/XXXX. To my knowledge, I can not provide this proof because it does not exist. I was a minor at that time and can not provide proof of residency from 20 years ago because I was a XXXX, in school, with no bills, job or identification. 

After receiving this response I decided to submit a complaint to the CFPB. 

I also notified ERC of this problem and they put the collection notice on hold until this gets sorted out. 

I'm at a loss and I don't know what else to do. Please help me. I have attached all the documents I sent to XXXX XXXX  for your review as well as their email response and the collection notice from ERC. I will be more than happy to cooperate with you in order to resolve this issue. 

Thank you

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
I have had a paypal account for multiple years, using their debit card option for the same amount of time. Using mostly for things like online shopping, convenience stores, gas, etc. I make the same type of purchases at the same places religiously. 

I've never had problems with my account, so I decided to have my financial aid for school deposited into the account. I'm just a student, I don't work, so this aid would be my means of living for the next few months. 

The financial aid was deposited on XX/XX/2023. 

I made a few of my usual transactions, nothing out of the ordinary, then after trying to make a transaction I was shocked to see it declined. 

This was not more than 2 days later, on XX/XX/2023. 

Quickly realizing my account was marked " limited '' I immediately called customer service to try and sort this out. Customer service tells me not to worry, it will get handled swiftly, and tells me she doesn't even know why it was limited but tells me it will be handled asap. 

The customer service agent then tells me I can still use my card at the store, and I confirm what I'm hearing is correct 3 times with her, and each time she insists that I can use it. 

I test her claims at the gas station just to be declined at the pump. 

I decide to give it two days, as the notice on my limitation tells me I will hear from them about this limitation on my account within 2 days. But, I did not hear back. 

XX/XX/2023 XXXX message paypal support through their message support feature. The agent tells me it is limited because of a transaction. Which transaction, she doesn't know. I tell her I can supply her with any information they could possibly need for me to confirm my identity and confirm I made any transaction. 
I offered my updated drivers license I offered proof of address I offered standing in front of my ID to confirm its me sending it. 

She says they don't need any information from me and gives me the usual script of not to worry. 

XX/XX/2023, I message again and again they tell me to " give it a couple more days it's just a matter of time ''. I am basically begging them to let me confirm my identity or if theres a transaction in question let me prove whatever it is they need to give me access to my funds. Still, the answer is no. 

It's now XX/XX/XXXX. I can't transfer my funds, I can't close my account, I can't use any of my money to buy textbooks I need for class which will result in me having to drop my classes and ruin an entire semesters worth of time. I can't buy groceries, gas, fix my car which just broke down, paying my school registration fees, virtual products I need for my classes, nothing.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction bynthe consumer. I submtted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information was affected by the 2015 OPM data breach as well as equifax 's XXXX date breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
