Company: HCFS Healthcare Financial Services of TeamHealth
State: MA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.

You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Company: Happy Money, Inc.
State: UT
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Personal line of credit
Issue: Getting a line of credit

Complaint:
Payoff.com has adversely impacted my personal credit through predatory credit lending practices. I applied for a credit card consolidation loan and was given a rate of 9.99 % APR. A few days later, I was told that my application was completed and that I just needed to accept the loan. There was no mention of my rate increasing in their communications with me however when I looked at the fine print, my APR had increased to 11.99 %. When I brought this to the attention of their customer support, I was told that is a normal occurrence and credit rates are complex calculations. I did not accept the loan for a week to reevaluate my options given the change in rate. When I went back to their website, my APR had increased another 2 % to 13.99 %. Both of these increases had occurred in less than 2 weeks. I asked customer support why my rate increased and was told a very similar answer. I authorized Payoff.com to perform a hard inquiry because of false information that they provided me with. This has lowered my credit score and made it more expensive to attain the loan I am seeking. They claim to help people get out of debt but I am now in a worse situation because of false information that they provided.
