Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: CA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I am reporting a collection agency that appears to my credit report. It is a debt collector using false, deceptive and misleading practices such as misrepresentation about a debt that does not belong to me. A debt collector is not allowed to harass me. No data is validating the alleged debt and I never had any debt from credit one that was the original creditor. The collection agency is not even licensed in the state of Michigan that is posted as the address of the debt collector. The problem is that this debt collector posted this frigolus and bogus debt to all XXXX reporting agencies. Also they are using unfair, deceptive, and abusive acts or practices against me while at the same time they are not even licensed seeking remedies in regards to a debt that does not belong to me. In XXXX and XXXX is listed with a Michigan address and according to the NMLS ID : XXXX they are not licensed to operate as a collection agency in the state if Michigan. Additionally they are pending approval as far as the state of California since in XXXX they have a CA address but they are not approved yet. I did try to communicate with them but the thing is that they are asking for ssn. That does not even make sense. I would never give my personal info to a Debt Collector. I already have Identity theft on file as well as being impacted by XXXX XXXX XXXX in 2017. Please advise as to how should I proceed with this fraudulent collector. Thank you in advance XXXX XXXX MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEM XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Phone number ( XXXX ) XXXX

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing issue
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018, I submitted a dispute letter to all 3 Credit Bureaus in desired request to remove a Bankruptcy ( Public Record ) listed on my credit reports. In the letter document, I thoroughly described the issues, point of emphasis & reasons per the laws of the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : as to why I have requested prompt removal of the Bankruptcy. Reasons being that Bankruptcy Courts do not validate or verify Public Record entries onto my Credit Reports. Considering a violation of the FCRA & the fact that it has caused major hardship on my family by derailing my ability to be able to apply or acquire credit along to possibly purchase a home for my family it needs to be deleted off my report. XXXX  has removed the Public Record off my report. XXXX is currently pending. However Experian has taken every dispute I have submitted & just ignored my request by jist constantly updating my Credit Report with a " Verified '' status. I feel they have not taken any consideration to consider the reason for my dispute in the document that I submitted to them.

Complaint:
I made a payment for XX/XX/XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. It wss 29 days late for {$480.00}. I made the payment on the site. It uses XXXX XXXX to process payments. My account information is usually pre stored. 
The month prior I made a payment over the phone with my debit card. I submitted my payment on the 6th like normal. After a few days, I noticed the money was still in my account. I them checked the emailed receipt and noticed that it had the last four digits of my debit card not checking. You can only do check payments on the site. 
I call on the XXXX to let them know the error and used my debit card to make XX/XX/XXXX payments becaue I knew it was going to get returned because the last 4 of my checking was wrong. 
I expressed to them that I can't afford a 30 day late payment and it was a glitch on there site. 
I got mixed responses from customer care as if I would. I just want to make sure I don't since it was an error on their part

Complaint:
I am writing this letter to dispute ( 2 ) TWO unauthorized charges in the amount of {$4200.00} on my account. These two charges that appear twice on my statement begin XX/XX/XXXX from a merchant by the name of XXXX Washington DC and extend to XX/XX/XXXX from the same merchant totaling {$8400.00}. I have been ill and have been negligent in checking my statements. I was unaware of my rights and have been paying on this credit card for the past year. I originally called to file a dispute on XX/XX/XXXX but was placed on an extensive hold and given a number that was disconnected. I am including documentation to supplement my claim. Because I have been ill and in and out of the hospital, I recently discovered that my line of credit on this card has severely been misused. As stated, I was not aware of what steps I could take, give the time frame but a fellow Capital One customer told me that I can write a dispute letter. 
I am requesting that the error on my account be investigated and corrected, that any finance and other charges related to the disputed amount be credited as well, and that I receive an accurate statement. 

Enclosed is a copy of the disputed charges supporting my position. Please correct the billing error as soon as possible.
