Hello. I tried to contact Sage stream to place a credit freeze on my account.

Company: Diversified Adjustment Service, Inc.
State: DC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
I am writing to address a critical matter concerning the alleged debt associated with my account, which is currently being handled by Diversified Adjustment. My name is XXXX XXXX, and as a federally protected consumer under various federal statutes including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am aware of my rights and protections.

I want to make it clear that I have not granted Diversified Adjustment authorization to possess my nonpublic personal information, and therefore, any alleged agreement or contract between us is null and void. Furthermore, I assert that the alleged debt is a result of a billing error, and I insist on receiving documentary evidence of the obligor 's indebtedness.

Your company 's actions have not only led to duress and coercion in attempting to collect this alleged debt but have also caused significant harm to my credit reputation. Under the provisions of the FCRA, I am legally entitled to dispute and request the removal of inaccurate or unverified information from my credit report.

I hereby demand that within 14 days from the date of this letter, you take immediate action to : 1. Cease all communication and collection activities related to this alleged debt, as I am legally refusing payment under 15 U.S. Code 1692c ( c ).

2. Provide sufficient and documented evidence of the validity of the alleged debt.

3. Remove any and all references to this alleged debt from my credit report.

Failure to comply with this demand within the stipulated timeframe will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal action to address your company 's violations of various statutes, including but not limited to TILA, FCRA, and others.

Please understand the gravity of this situation and the potential consequences of non-compliance. I expect a comprehensive response within the specified 14-day window to confirm that these actions have been taken. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: ACIMA CREDIT, LLC
State: CA
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan

Complaint:
I did the 90 day pay out option with acima credit for a outstanding balanced I owed to acima. At the time, I did the payout over there automated service. I did this early pay out on XX/XX/XXXX The automated service charged my card for whatever I owed them as a 90 day pay out which resulted to a payment of {$420.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I put a STOP on any auto payments with my bank account so i could do the 90 day pay off instead. So I got the {$420.00} loaned to me to do a 90 day early pay off with acima so my total balance on the account would not double as they told me it would if it was not paid by XX/XX/XXXX. They some how Aquired my  debit card number that i never provided, and on XX/XX/XXXX started taking money out of my account again without my knowledge. So I contacted my bank and stopped all payments from them and I immediately contacted acima VIA live customer service. The representative I spoke to said there was a pending XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX that did not clear at the time of my early payoff so there for went past the 90 day pay out option and doubled my total, which they say resulted in re-opening my account. I offered to pay the {$64.00} that supposedly never went through in hopes it would clear my balance with them but the representative said I MUST pay {$900.00} now. I dont see why there system like she says, did not recognize there was a missing payment and why there system wouldnt just add that {$64.00} to the early pay off total. That is not my fault. They instead applied the {$420.00} I paid them to installment payments instead of the " early pay off ''
