Issue: Struggling to pay your bill
Sub-issue: Credit card company won't work with you while you're going through financial hardship

Complaint:
I went through a very difficult period in my life personally and professionally that caused me to get behind on a number of my payment obligations. I have contacted Discover to try and resolve the matter and was told to contact the collection agency ( XXXX  ) they had hired to handle my account. I contacted the agency and they told me they were unable to negotiate on Discover 's behalf and that I would need to talk to Discover. I again called Discover only to be told they would not help and any negotiation would have to go through the collection agency. Upon again contacting the collection agency ( XXXX ) I was told in no uncertain terms that any and all negotiations would have to be done with Discover. Discover is unwilling to discuss my situation or hear me out on any negotiation or attempts to resolve this issue. I am hoping you are able to help and my credit has been crippled and my ability to simply move forward with my life has been hindered.

Complaint:
Last year I reached out to Account Management Services regarding an alleged debt they are attempting to collect. After receiving their ill executed attempt at a debt " validation '' it did not address the bigger issue at hand, my rights as a consumer have been violated and there had been a breech of security. The violations fall under : XXXXFCRA -Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ) -HIPPA -unsecured PHR identifiable health information released -Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 ( HITECH Act ) -FACTA including FACT Act I sent the request via certified mail on XX/XX/XXXX and in their responce dated XX/XX/XXXX they included information to which they should not have access. I did not nor would I ever give such authority to anyone other than my doctors to have access to my medical files. Other than the general concern for them having such information an even bigger concern arises as to how they secure this very private and personal information. For all I know, every bit of my confidencal information could be unsecured which is alarming. 

HIPPA and other laws and regulations have been very specific as to which type of medical Information can be shared with others and what info needs to be removed from charts before sharing.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX, an individual who was previously employed by me as my right hand man, breached and stole my identity and gained unauthorized access to my credit, even resorting to accessing my mail. It is with a heavy heart that I recount the events that led to this unfortunate situation. 

XXXX XXXX was employed by me in the position of XXXX XXXX at my company from XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX XXXX. During his tenure with our organization, it became evident that XXXX XXXX had several character flaws and engaged in dishonest practices, which ultimately led to his termination. 

Dishonesty : XXXX XXXX displayed a consistent pattern of dishonesty during his time at our company. This included making false statements, manipulating financial records, and failing to adhere to company policies and ethical standards. 

Anger Issues : XXXX XXXX 's conduct also raised significant concerns regarding his emotional stability and anger management. On multiple occasions, he exhibited outbursts of anger and aggressive behavior towards colleagues, creating a hostile work environment. 

Access to Personal Information : As part of his role, XXXX XXXX had access to sensitive company information, including personal data of employees and clients. This access gave him an opportunity to gain unauthorized access to my personal information. 

It has come to my attention that XXXX XXXX, after being terminated, stole my identity and gain access to credit in my name. He went to great lengths, including accessing my mail, to achieve his fraudulent objectives. To address this breach of security, I have since recently implemented measures such as mail digests and heightened security protocols to safeguard my personal information. 

Upon uncovering these grave violations, we took immediate action to terminate XXXX XXXX 's employment and reported the identity theft attempts to the appropriate authorities. We have been fully cooperating with law enforcement agencies and have taken measures to enhance our security protocols to prevent such incidents in the future. 

I want to assure you that I deeply regret any inconvenience or harm caused as a result of XXXX XXXX 's actions. Identity theft is a serious matter, and we are committed to assisting in the ongoing investigation to bring him to justice.
