Company: MJ Altman Companies, Inc.
State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, I sent a letter to MJ Altman Companies to validate a debt they claim I owe. I have never had an account with them, so I asked for the original business transaction per section 609 ( e ) in the  Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

They decided to send me a statement that I could have written up myself on XXXX XXXX, showing what is supposed to be some type of statement. 

They did not provide me with any document which shows proof that the debt belongs to me, which is theirs to prove. 

Not only that, they are attempting to collect a debt that is outside of my statute of limitation, per Chapter 95, Section 11 ( b ) of the Florida Statute of Limitations which specifically states that there is a 5 year limitation of any legal or equitable action on a contract, obligation, or liability founded on a written instrument, except for an action to enforce a claim against a payment bond, which shall be governed by the applicable provisions of paragraph ( 5 ) ( e ), s. 255.05 ( 10 ), s. 337.18 ( 1 ), or s. 713.23. 

this company has violated their legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting act, as well as the Florida Statute of Limitation and they should be held accountable for this violation. 

I am well within my rights to pursue legal action against this company.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
I have been monitoring the Equifax information breach that occurred recently, and deemed it necessary to place a freeze on my credit. 
onXX/XX/XXXX, I placed freezes through XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. Those actions took maybe 30 mins tops for all three combined. I have been attemptingto freeze my credit through Equifax to no avail. I have tried three times via the website ( https : //www.freeze.equifax.comXXXX ) and twice via phone ( XXXX ) with no assistance being provided. This is extremely frustrating as the company is the cause of this disturbance. I am appalled as to why this process is so tedious. I believe that Equifax should freeze all accounts as this breach is on them and their failure to protect the public 's secure information.

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

Complaint:
We applied for Non Owner Occupied Loan Modification program with Bank of America in XXXX and after Trial Period of three months XXXX, XXXX and XXXX our loan modification was approved. 
Few months later we found out that Bank of America reported our payments for three months trial period as late to all credit bureaus, which as a serious delinquency caused our credit scores to go down 60 points. 
We made our payments on time before and during modification period. Please see attached history of payments. During trial period we were asked to pay different amount instead of our existing monthly home equity payment. Please see attached BofA letter from XXXX XXXX, XXXX and FAQ. 
According to BofA letter from XXXX XXXX, XXXX " During the trial period loans that were up to date at the start of the trial period will continue to be reported as up to date as long as customers make trial periods on time. " Please see attached. 
Since we were current with our payments before and during trial period BofA had no right to report us being late and ruin our credit. We ask BofA to correct their mistake.

Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
Good evening - I have contacted this company a total of four times since XX/XX/XXXX. The latest certified letter was sent to Portfolio Recovery on XX/XX/XXXX requesting validation of the alleged debt, as well as proof that this company has the legal authority to collect the allege debt on behalf of the original creditor. Twice I received a letter billing ledger as validation. This ledger does not assign the debt to me and frankly, it looks like someone in the office drafter the ledger. This company still has neglected to include proof that they have the legal authority to collect the alleged debt.

Sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

Complaint:
I signed up for Citibank Checking and Savings account promotion program. Nowhere in their promotion requirements does it say that it does not apply to Texas. You can see their promotion published here, all it said was that " To enroll in this offer you must apply directly from this page. Citi rates and promotional offers may vary by state. Looks like you're in Texas. '' I even re-selected the state to make sure it does not tell me that Texas is not eligible, but it didn't say anything. Also in their fine prints they did not list the states that were eligible so who would know if they don't qualify? This is scam by misleading people in believing they will would qualify so they will open an account with them. See the advertised deal here, you can see nothing about the states.

Complaint:
I contacted XXXX credit reporting agency today X/X/2018 to verify that there are no negative accounts reporting on my credit report. I had a few accounts that did not belong on my credit report and disputed them. XXXX did there investigation and it was confirmed to delete the negative accounts. I am very pleased that it was confirmed there are no negative accounts on my XXXX  credit report however upon checking my XXXX XXXX account there is a history code with a number 1 next to it which means there was a late payment I resolved this issue with XXXX directly months ago and it was agreed they would remove that code which they still did not do. Upon speaking with the XXXX rep I was advised that some of my accounts are not reporting a history code. I was advised to contact the creditors to ask them to please report the history code on these accounts as they are all accounts that are positive and in excellent standing which helps my credit score. I did not get anywhere so I am complaining to the cfpb in hopes of resolving this issue. The accounts that are not listing my history is " XXXX 's card '' I have 2 accounts with them. Another account is XXXX XXXX '' I also have 2 accounts with them as well. Another account is my XXXX/XXXX XXXX/XXXX  accounts that are also not reporting the history. All of these accounts on my part are showing as Paid as Agreed Never Late however on XXXX 's part this information is not showing. I was advised if my credit is pulled they will not see these comments. Which would affect me in obtaining credit. I am doing as I was advised by XXXX.
