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

Complaint:
After reviewing my credit report, I found that my account had a medical obligation from XXXX  XXXX XXXX, XXXX for {$210.00}. I am very aware of any payments that are due and make timely payments, so I was shocked to see this account. 

I do not recall any contractual relationship I had with this organization and all of my medical bills are normally paid by my insurance. 

In my attempts to find out more from this organization, I found out that this company is not bonded in the state of Texas according to Section 392.101. It prohibits a third party debt collector or credit bureau from engaging in debt collection in Texas unless the third-party debt collector or credit bureau has obtained a surety bond and filed a copy of the bond with the office of the Secretary of State. XXXX  XXXX XXXX state that they are associated with another company but no designation of this fact is shown in the State of Texas database. Also the company failed to provide information supporting their claim. 

According to the FDCPA, the organization is to validate the debt, but I have not received the documents necessary to prove that this organization is owed the alleged obligation. I 've tried to work this situation out with the third-party collector and no information was forwarded. I needed to see an Exclamation of Benefits ( EOB ) and also a signed document showing proof of services provided to me. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX failed to provide the information but it in violation by ruining my credit by putting on my credit report an unsupported tradeline. I tried to get information from this organization via the Better Business Bureau and received no information to this date. 

I request that Experian, XXXX and XXXX remove this tradeline from my credit report as the organization in question has not provided information to support their claims of indebtedness, collection, or ownership.

Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
Yes, on XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a Goodwill letter to the CEO, XXXX XXXX XXXX, I explain to him that I was in a consolidation program back on XX/XX/XXXX, and my payments were being made on time, from the time that I started the program I received notices from the XXXX XXXX that my balance was XXXX, I was told during the program that for 1 year I would not own any money for my student loan, I never heard anything from the company that I did the consolidation with so that I could renew the program after that year. I received another statement from the XXXX XXXX XXXX, and it showed that I owed around {$750.00} for a monthly payment, well I was in shock, I tried reaching out to the consolidation company, but with no luck, they had went out of business, I reach out to another company, but in the mean time I was going into default with my Student loans. I sent the CEO a good will letter, because me and my husband want to purchase our first home in XX/XX/XXXX, I poured my heart out to him regarding the situation at hand, now I know that plenty of people have sent goodwill letters regarding their student loans reporting late on their credit reports, and the late payments were removed from their reports. I really need this because, we may not have a chance of purchasing a home with this showing on my credit reports. I received a letter back from supposedly the CEO, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and they refuse to remove it, now if your going to do it for other people, why could n't I have mines remove as well, I 'm not trying to get out of paying, I have joined another consolidation company, and my loans are being paid as suppose to as of this date, I was just asking for a little help to get my credit looking better, I do have the letter that was sent to be regarding their decision to not honor my request, I guess what I 'm saying is show favoritism for others and if you wo n't help someone who took the time to send a Goodwill letter to you regarding needing help so my family and I can become home owners.
