Company: Cooling & Winter LLC
State: GA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Threatened to contact someone or share information improperly
Sub-issue: Talked to a third-party about your debt

Complaint:
On or around XX/XX/XXXXI received a letter in the mail dated XX/XX/XXXX. This is the first and only communication received from Cooling and Winter. No follow up letters or phone calls. 

I made contact with XXXX in order to set up payment arrangements, before I would be sued. However, I found out during that conversation that a lawsuit had already been filed. However I proceeded to set up an arrangement in the amount of {$50.00} a month for however long it took to pay off XXXX in debt as a means to resolve the referenced account and that they would be willing to partake in a consent order as a means of negotiating. During which I was instructed to not make a payment on the account until I receive forms to sign showing a contracted agreement. 

All of which brings me back to the letter. I had not received a phone call or letter from XX/XX/XXXXto present regarding the matter. Which means I had no time to respond. 

To which the letter indicated that no attorney at the time had evaluated or revised the circumstances of my account. 

Today XX/XX/XXXX, I received a phone call from my wife who took it upon herself to call to try to negotiate with XXXX. 
No permission was given to Cooling & Winter to speak to her regarding my account. My wife indicated to me that not only did he provide information regarding this debt, but that a lawsuit was being processed, that an arrangement was set up and the amount. He also gave her information as to how much was owed. She was trying to negotiate the account without my permission in trying to help. 

During said conversation, XXXX informed her of information regarding the consent order and payment information that O myself was not aware of because he failed to contact me. 

While my wife is aware of the money that goes in and out of my account we handle things of this nature separately. And frankly I dont appreciate my information being shared without my explicit written or verbal permission. 

Mind you since XX/XX/XXXXI have called and left messages regarding ng je paperwork XXXX was fo send for signing and never received communication.

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

Complaint:
I have contacted Second Round LP in regards to an account listed on my credit reports that I do not recognize. They are reporting to the major credit bureaus on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have asked Second Round LP XXXX TIMES to verify the validity and accuracy of this alleged account and they have not sent me any proof of a contract or anything with my signature taking claim of this debt that amounts to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have never had an account with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. I have sent them Certified dispute letters stating that if they can not verify this account, they need to remove the account from my credit reports. They have responded with letter saying that they have done an investigation on the account and it was being reported as accurate. But they still have nothing binding me to a contract. No proof has been made available to me. So therefore the debt needs to be removed from my credit report ASAP and collection efforts need to stop.

Complaint:
I started receiving e-mails from XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX that changes had been made to my profile information. When I signed into my accounts the address, phone and e-mail had all been changed. I have checked all of my profiles and found that they have also done this to my XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX, Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX account. I have called all of the affected credit card companies to report the fraud and cancel the cards. I have reported the fraudulent information to XXXX and they have deleted all errors. I can not reach Equifax or XXXX by internet or phone. I have attached a list of all the accounts that were affected. I also took screen shots of the accounts that they had changed my profile in. I will attach some of those as well. 

There have been many attempts to open credit cards and loans using my identity and twice they have gone into XXXX to change my address. This address also shows under my addresses listed on Equifax and XXXX. I have attached a list of all the accounts that they tried to open. 

I believe my identity theft is due to the Equifax Breach. Although my first indication that something was wrong was on XX/XX/XXXX, the first fraudulent attempt to open an installment loan was through XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I have created an identitytheft.gov account. My FTC Report Number is XXXX. I am not attaching that report because it has personal information on it. 

I have placed a 90 day fraud alert at all Bureaus. I have placed a freeze on my account with XXXX. I can not access my XXXX account due to tampering therefore I can not freeze that Bureau. I can not access Equifax by phone or on-line to freeze that Bureau. I have called and spoken to someone at Equifax whose sole purpose is to tell you to go to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had done that when the breach was announced and then tried to enroll on the dated given to me of XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received my e-mail to access the TrustedID Premier Account, but I receive a Credit Lock Status Error. 

I have reported my identity theft to the XXXX, XXXX Police Department. The Report number is XXXX and is being handled by XXXX XXXX. His phone number is XXXX. I have reported my identity theft to the XXXX, XXXX Police Department. The Report number is XXXX and is being handled by XXXX XXXX. His phone number is XXXX ext # XXXX.

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

Complaint:
In preparing to apply for a mortgage, I discovered a notice of collections on my XXXX  credit report for {$770.00}. The collections agency was XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Washington. 

I attempted to contact the company via their online contact form on XX/XX/XXXX and received no response as ofXX/XX/XXXX. I have also contacted the collections agency via telephone today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and  they couldn't find any debt in my name or with my date of birth. They also confirmed that it was my social security number on the account and nothing else. 

I discovered via XXXX that the collections was for debt owed to XXXX XXXX. I have never done business with this company and do not owe them money. Upon contacting XXXX, they confirmed that they had no record of me as a customer. There was an account opened using my SSN, but not my name, date of birth, or address. I do not now, nor have I ever lived in the state they service. 

It seems highly irresponsible to report a debt on my credit report that does not match my name, date of birth, state of residence or any other information other than SSN.
