Complaint:
I had a collection report of {$68.00} dollars on all my credit reports for XXXX XXXX being reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX un 2018. It is the only derogatory collection on my report thus far. I paid off the bill but I was requesting for a pay to delete for it to come off my credit but they are saying they can not delete it off my report even with the paid item. It is showing also that I had disputed this item still though I had gotten a letter stating that they were reporting the debt correctly. I was writing a request for both the bill and the dispute remark both to get deleted off my credit because paid in full and the remark will not help my credit scores. I appreciate your consideration on this. This was a medical bill for my daughter that I overlooked with the company long ago. I didn't see that bill.

Sub-product: Payday loan debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I received an alert from all three credit reporting agencies that an item was placed on my credit. Upon investigation, it was evidenced that Midwest Recovery Systems of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX, reporting a collection matter of $XXXX to the various credit reporting agencies on XX/XX/XXXX. The original creditor's name on the collection matter is XXXX XXXX.On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Midwest Recovery Systems and spoke with Mr. XXXX XXXX to obtain clarification of the item placed on my credit, as I received no prior calls or letters from Midwest Recovery about this debt, giving me the right to dispute or understand the claim. I was told by Mr. XXXX XXXX that they spoke with me in XX/XX/XXXX, for which I have no knowledge of, and I made him aware that I had no memory or recollection of any discussion with Midwest Recovery about this debt. I have received strange threatening voicemails with disguised voices, which I have ignored and for which I cannot say the origin of these calls, but I have not spoken to Midwest about this debt.Mr. XXXX XXXX informed me that this matter is about a payday online loan obtained from XXXX XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX and became delinquent in XX/XX/XXXX. While I do recall using XXXX many years ago, I have not heard from XXXX or any other collectors about a balance owed, and a request at this time is extremely strange. XXXX  debits and take monies out of your account to settle your obligation to them. Also, I believed this debt was settled.I asked Mr. XXXX XXXX to provide proof of an outstanding balance and how this was determined, as I have no records dating back to XX/XX/XXXX. He made me aware that he has no obligation to provide such information and that I should contact my bank to provide me with statements. My account has since been closed. Even banks statements by themselves would not tell but would only show that XXXX debited my account excessively with high interest amounts. A statement of account showing original loan, terms and repayments, plus any add on fees equaling the balance would help.I was recently informed that such loans are not legal in Virginia and the loan is void. I believe XXXX and Midwest Recovery Systems is fully aware of this situation. XXXX and or Midwest Recovery Systems should provide proof that this loan isn't void, and until documentary proof of a debt and that the loan isn't void, I don't think they should be putting this on anyone's credit report.

Complaint:
The week of XXXX/XXXX/2017, I received a phone call from XXXX XXXX at Alltran telling me that I owed XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) {$2700.00}. Alltran 's case number is XXXX. Her phone number was XXXX, fax number was XXXX, email address was collections@alltran.com.

I am deeply concerned about the tactics used by XXXX and Alltran to try to collect debts that I do not owe. I have perfect payment history on all my loans. I have never had any delinquencies or collections. I have asked for proof of my debt, and provided XXXX  proof of my payments to XXXX. But XXXX has failed to respond to my request of proof of debt.
The lack of proof from XXXX and Alltran makes this attempted collection really suspicious. Please help me resolve this matter.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
In CFPB Filing # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX stated that they CAN summarily make changes to a Mortgage without the PRIMARY signatories signature, by virtue of a Divorce Decree. In the Divorce Decree between myself and XXXX XXXX XXXX is a SPECIAL WARRANTY DEED, which is NOT THE same as a Quit Claim Deed. I have checked this with several Lawyers and even with the FBI. So, instead of fixing the problem, XXXX decides to CLOSE the offending case file, then open a NEW ONE, again without my signature. So, since XXXX XXXX XXXX can not pay on time, it shows up on my credit report. This is getting very tiresome, and this is exactly what XXXX XXXX was fined millions of dollars for, opening accounts without permission from those people. I want this stopped immediately. 

This is their response for Complaint # XXXX : We 've been unable to establish contact with you regarding you concerns about the credit reporting of your account. A Divorce Decree and/or Special Warranty Deed may transfer title to the property, but it does n't affect the original terms of the Note. Since you 're a customer under the Note, we 'll continue to report this account under your name to the consumer reporting agencies. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, we mailed you a notice that we were making a change to our servicing system. We did not open a new account for your loan, we simply moved your existing account to another servicing system within XXXX XXXX. Effective XXXX XXXX, XXXX, your loan number changed from XXXX to XXXX. The account is currently due for the XXXX XXXX, XXXX payment. 

I have never been contacted with any of this information. Ever. I am willing to submit my home phone number logs ( XXXX XXXX XXXX or my cell phone logs ( XXXX XXXX XXXX as evidence in Federal Court to prove that they never bothered to attempt contact. As I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, they have committed a Felony under XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX continually commits the exact same type of Fraud that they were convicted of in Federal Court. Also, they FAIL TO MENTION that they CHANGED the note WITHOUT my signature or consent, their OWN paperwork shows where my SIGNATURE is REQUIRED, yet they changed the NOTE at that point. 

The CFPB seriously needs to investigate this. I have contacted the FBI and HSI concerning this matter. They have BOTH said what XXXX is doing is ILLEGAL yet it does not meet their threshold for prosecutions. The CFPB needs to investigate and prosecute XXXX. XXXX can not have it both ways they can not deem my rights as primary signor null and void, materially modify the terms of the mortgage, and then set up a new mortgage account all the while telling me that I am still responsible for the note that is not the original note that I signed.
