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

Complaint:
Dear XXXX / XXXX XXXX XXXX ; Balance for {$57.00}? I was 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX reports an incorrect debt collection to the Credit Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ) with an open date of XXXX XXXX, XXXX. This is an invalid debt collection, and an invalid date, and it needs to be removed from my credit reports immediately. 

I have tried to resolve this issue with XXXX XXXX multiple times via phone calls ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ), emails ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX, XXXX ), and written letters ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ). XXXX XXXX continuing to report this inaccurate debt collection has directly led to me being denied for credit cards ( XXXX XXXX ), auto loans ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX ), and has increased car insurance quotes ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX ). 

XXXX XXXX claims that I was refunded {$350.00} on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and another {$350.00} on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I refuted this claim by sending XXXX XXXX my XXXX and XXXX bank account statements proving that 1 ) there was a {$350.00} withdraw from XXXX XXXX and 2 ) I never received the {$350.00} in return to my bank account on or around XXXX/XXXX/XXXX or XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. In addition, XXXX XXXX XXXX claims that I received receipts for two separate {$350.00} returns on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I again supplied XXXX XXXX XXXX with my XXXX bank account statement proving once again that I never received these returns on or around XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 

Lastly, XXXX XXXX XXXX also inaccurately reports the date this inaccurate collection. They claim a date of XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The last instance I was even at XXXX XXXX was XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. That is 13 months earlier than the date they are reporting to the CRAs. 

In addition, I have tried resolving this with XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion. I have sent all three CRAs my bank statements clearly proving that this XXXX XXXX debt collection is completely inaccurate and needs to be removed IMMEDIATELY from all of my credit reports. 

Attached you will find screenshots of my bank statements proving that I absolutely paid the {$350.00} and a definitely NEVER received a {$350.00}. XXXX XXXX XXXX debt collection needs to be removed from my Credit Reports immediately.

Complaint:
XXXX is an account that I acquired due to a student loan. It is currently reporting as an unknown item on my credit report. They are XXXX different accounts. I have asked that they be combined, but they have stated that they are unable to combine them into XXXX account. Therefore, for the last XXXX months I have been making payments to all three accounts. {$100.00}, {$25.00} and {$25.00}. I was only able to afford {$200.00} extra in my budget. But the payments have come consistently and they have accepted them. Not only have I paid them for the last XXXX months consistently, it has come at the same time every month. 

After the second payment, I received an alert that the account was reported as negative again. This alarmed me because I had made XXXX payments consistently. I contacted XXXX and asked why they hadnt reported making payments or paid as agreed. They informed me that the credit bureaus needed to report it that way. But after the third month, it again reported it the same way -- -- a negative status. 

Not only have I reached out to XXXX regarding this, but I have also reached out to the XXXX major credit bureaus. They only report the payment going lower and not the payment itself. 

This reporting has caused my credit report to continue to decline in numbers. I am requesting that this be resolved immediately. The payment should be as follows : XXXX. XXXX -- - XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX {$25.00} XXXX. XXXX -- - XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX {$25.00} XXXX. XXXX -- XXXX XXXX {$100.00} In addition, this is reported wrong. It should be categorized as a student loan, not other.

Issue: Received a loan you didn't apply for

Complaint:
I received a check/loan in XXXX. I deposited the check. When the first payment was due I was called and I told them I would make the payment my next pay date. That was XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I spoke with them and said I would make the payment over the phone. I was told that I could possibly " get more money '' with an application for a new loan. I told the lady twice I would make the current payment so as not to get behind. She again encouraged me to " see if I qualify for more money. '' She started the application and told me that since my credit was frozen I would need to unfreeze this then she could continue the application. I had my credit unfrozen with XXXX  the same week. I spoke with her again XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and she said they do not use XXXX and I would need to unfreeze my credit with XXXX & XXXX. I again offered to make the payment so that I would not become delinquent. She said " just see what you can do. Maybe we can get you some more money. '' I have tried to unfreeze my credit with the two other agencies unsuccessfully and have had a hard time getting in touch with the agencies due to the XXXX breach creating long hold times, and have been disconnected while waiting. I even spoke with XXXX but due to the operators thick accent I could not understand the questions he asked and I was unsuccessful. Today I again tried to get in touch with XXXX and was told after waiting 1.5 hours that I had the wrong department and was given another number. I work and take care of my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX so I could not stay on hold for several hours. This evening I received a message stating that " the application could not longer be active '' and that she needed to hear from me by XXXX XXXX or " things will get serious. '' I called and left a message to remind her that I have tried multiple times to make the payment and I asked to please let me know what she means by " things will get serious ''.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Problem when making payments

Complaint:
In XXXX we had a XXXX XXXX salesman come to our military housing and sell us a vacuum. They 'financed ' our vacuum through Merchants Acceptance for {$37.00} to be debited our account on the XXXX & XXXX every month for 19 months. My husband and I signed the finance paperwork and the receipt for our vacuum. We never received a bill, statement or any mail or email communication from either XXXX or Merchants Acceptance but they debited our account for the agreed payments. We moved, changes accounts, and my husband lost his job so we missed a few payments. Without any communication, I did n't know who to contact. They finally started calling me. I tried to have them add the overdue to the end of the loan, but the person at Merchant Acceptance said he did n't have access to my payment history, my balance, or how long we had left to make payments from our original agreement, just that I owed $ and needed to pay the total for the missed payments. I asked how I could access that information and he said they 'd have to mail me a statement. I got 1 statement that was very unclear on where we stood with the loan. I still owe them $ and would prefer it be added to the end of agreement due ti financial hardship. But that time should have passed already and they 're still debiting my account. Today they sent an employment verification to my employer. They had cut the signature line from my finance agreement ( that was not dated ) and pasted it on the employment verification. I did not authorize it or sign that form. What purpose could they have for photoshopping an employment verification? I dont know what I owe them, my payment history, or my overdue balance. I would like to resolve this but I do n't like that the do n't send statements or that they pasted my signature on an employment verification.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I was using a Target Red Card at Target to make purchases in their store. I received my statement for XX/XX/2019 showing that I had a {$10.00} balance. I paid the charge online, in full and never made another purchase with the card. I received my XXXX Statement showing the payment of {$10.00} that I made, and a {$0.00} balance. 

When I went to refinance my home recently, my broker pulled my credit report and told me I have only one minor past due report from Target for {$1.00}. Target reported this erroneously to the credit reporting agencies. I called Target on XX/XX/XXXX to get this resolved and asked them to send a letter to all 3 credit reporting agencies telling them that the past due report was their fault and to remove the bad mark on my credit report. The woman on the phone said she would send a letter to my broker telling them that I had a XXXX   balance. I told her that's not what I asked. I told the representative that I am in the middle of refinancing my house and I need for that bad mark to be removed from my credit report in the next day or two.  She told me it would take up to 30 days for a review. I told her that I didn't have 30 days, and this should be done soon, especially since it was a mistake made by Target. She told me again that it would take 30 days.

After numerous attempts to resolve this matter, I continue to be ignored!

They responded back with I didn't include verifying information, like driver 's license and proof of address. This is definitely a stall tack tick and is not acceptable.
