Consumer complaint received 2022-03-20
Company: BC SERVICES, INC.
State: CO
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Complaint:
I have a medical debt that originated with XXXX XXXX. I was making monthly payments for well over a year, maybe even 2 and when I was unable to continue, the debt was sold to BC Services Inc. Total currently due ( {$8100.00} + {$7700.00} ). Same incident but for some unknown reason, these were submitted on 2 accounts. 

When I missed a payment, it was reported to the credit bureau and when I called to rectify, I was told that nothing could be done except to pay the balance. They offered to reduce in half if I paid in one lump sum. I explained I didn't have {$7900.00} and they suggested I get a loan to pay it off. The interest was over 20 % so I was unable to get the loan. They threatened on several occasions to take me to court. 

I recently submitted this debt ( and the one associated with the surgeon from the same accident ) to a 'debt relief company ' and I am paying them $ XXXX. The total medical debt is $ XXXX. The surgeon office never submitted my unpaid account to collections. 

I have been trying to get approved for 'First-time home buying ' programs to help me purchase a home and this debt on my report has resulted in my requests being refused.

I can not get a car, a decent income source, credit or a home. I didnt know what to do so Ive come to taking legal action. I am needing desperately to get into a vehicle before the year is over because I live in a cold state. I want to get my baby a home of our own this upcoming year as well. 

I have been receiving calls, texts and emails in regards to these fraudulent accounts that should not be attached to my profile. This has been depressing and very life alternating. 

I have attached the tracking number for the latest dispute and personal info update submitted. I have yet to hear back about updates or investigation status.

In the results of your first investigation, you stated in writing that you verified these items as being reported correctly, yet no information has been provided to me.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Complaint:
According to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ), credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. However, XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX have failed in their responsibility to fulfill this requirement. They have furnished information that does not reflect my actual credit behavior, which is not only erroneous but also damaging to my reputation and financial opportunities. 
As a consumer, I am entitled to fair and accurate credit reporting under federal law. I have diligently followed the proper procedures to dispute the inaccuracies, but the financial institution 's refusal to correct the errors and the consumer reporting agencies ' lack of thorough investigation have caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and overall financial standing. 
The inaccuracies present in my credit reports include : Outdated information : Some of the reported information is outdated, such as closed accounts being listed as active, which further hampers my creditworthiness assessment. 
Reporting of late payments that were never made : Several accounts on my credit report show late payments, but I can confirm that these instances are incorrect. I have always made timely payments and have records to substantiate this claim. 
I have diligently tried to resolve these issues by disputing the inaccurate information through the credit reporting agencies ' dispute processes. However, their responses have been unsatisfactory and merely result in re-verifications of the disputed information without proper investigation.

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

Complaint:
This debt is illegally being reported to my XXXX and XXXX Credit File. I do NOT have any contracts between myself and _____ ( debt collector ) They have failed to provide documentation that the debt is legal. 

The company in which my original account was created SOLD the debt to this collector therefore, having sold the debt and leased the premises out after moving they are not legally allowed to collect on a unit that is now occupied. 

This debt is not valid, as I was allowed to terminate our lease due to distress created for my family by administration of this facility. 


What I want? 

I want this debt listed by __LENDMARK immediately removed from all of my credit profiles. 

They will ask have you tried to resolve this issue with the company. 

I have tried to resolve this and they are unable to verify that I have a debt / document with their company. 

That should be it. Make sure you put your social and email so they can respond and notify you of updates.
