Product: Debt collection

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
HI ERC & XXXX XXXX ; Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.

You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Complaint:
I had money withdrawn from my account multiple times without notice or contact. The first time was at the very beginning of Covid as everything was shutting down they withdrew all of the money from checking and savings. I set up a payment agreement but was later furloughed and contacted them to ask if there was any option to renegotiate or change the payment agreement as I was out of work. I was told 3 payments would be removed from the agreement ( I asked if I would have to make them at the end or at a later date and was told no ). I made my final payment XXXX of XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX money was again withdrawn from my account and I was told I still owe the 3 payments removed from the agreement. At no point was I told I still owed money, there was never a call or mailing in an attempt to inform me that I still owed money. Over a year after I thought I had paid this off and put it behind me I was suddenly told I never had.

Company: BANCO POPULAR DE PUERTO RICO
State: WA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2019 I made a {$20.00} purchase with the credit card in issue, which I have had for the past 10 years and have always paid on time ( as shown on my credit score ).

I submitted the payment of {$20.00} to this credit card on XX/XX/2019 ( 5 Days later ) to return my balance to {$0.00}. But for some reason my payment got rejected, and the bank NEVER notified me of this incident! Not a single email or phone call or text message saying " Your payment got rejected, please verify and try again ''. 2 months passed and the bank never notified me of this incident. 

The only way I found out was when I received an email notifying me that my credit card score had been affected by XXXX points because I didn't make this payment of {$20.00} on time. 

I proceeded to call the bank and they explained that the payment got rejected because when I created the " payment information '' I used the wrong routing number. Which is unbelievable since I use the same checking account to pay the other credit cards within the same bank that issued this credit card! 

Again, I use the same checking account to make successful payments to the other credit cards within the same bank, but for this {$20.00} charge, my bank information is invalid, my payment rejected, I was not alerted of any of this, and my credit score goes down XXXX points. Unbelievable!
