Company: WAKEFIELD & ASSOCIATES, INC.
State: MI
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying

Complaint:
Wakefield and Associates continue to call my phone 2 to 3 times a day I've asked them to verify this debit with a signature that I sign to authorize medical consent and financial responsibility. I know I never sign anything in 2018 to present with any emergency department regarding this bill they say I owe nor have they honor my request for a sign documentation in my handwriting. I've dispute this debit with all 3 credit report agencies and the say it's valid. As far as I'm concerned it's not a valid debit with out a valid signature from me I do not owe the debit.

Company: FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
This is my fifith complaint. 
I do not consider the matter closed. 
As I have stated my account was closed as part of a Covid 19 payment program to bring my outstanding balance back into good standing. 
In good faith, I have now brought my account into good standing for some months now and you refuse to reopen my account. This shows bad faith. 
I was never informed that once closed that my account could not be reopened. I do not see that detail in any of the small print associated with the opening of the account. 
I have had other credit card companies close my account for the same reasoning but they have allowed me to reopen the account once in good standing. 
Why are you different. 
I was a good customer for many years with an excellent payment history. 
The pandemic has caused economic hardhsips for many Americans of which I am one. 
How can you expect me to just accept this and continue to make payments without the proper use of my card? 
You offer me no alternatives so I am going to seek legal aid for your usury practices and possible claims filing. 
In the meanwhile I am not going to be making any more payments until this matter is resolved. Please do the right thing!

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

Complaint:
I do not have a contract with MDS. I am not liable for the collection of this debt nor am I responsible. I have never done business with this company. In fact, I have never heard of this company until receiving a copy of my credit report. MDS has failed to provide me with legal supporting documents. I requested the signed contract between me and this company and they neglected to provide it. Instead they sent me " ER  Admission papers ''. I requested an original itemized bill and they neglected to provide it. Instead they sent me a statement with a balance for " ER services ''. I requested a HIPAA release form signed by me allowing MDS to access my medical files they have neglected to provide that form all together. Not only are my HIPAA rights being violated by this company but so are my consumer rights. I attempted to disput this invalid debt via the bbb but to no avail. They continue to ignore my requests. It is my contention that MDS KNOWS they can not tie me to this account otherwise they would have done so when I made my initial request. MDS is BLANTLY disregarding the law.

They proceeded to report the account on all  3  of my credit bureau reports. I do not owe this compan y ( Southwest Credit Systems ).  I have not signed anything with them.

State: LA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX have continually violated the FCRA and my rights from providing my credit report to unauthorized agents, to providing negative remarks on my credit report that are not factual, to stating that all accounts are paid timely one month to having 3 accounts with negative payment histories the next month with NOTHING CHANGING.

When your credit circumstances change, your credit report must be updated. If its not, thats a violation. How could some violations occur?

Reporting a debt as charged off, when it was settled or paid off.

Reporting late payments when your payments were timely.

Reporting old debts as new ones.

Reporting that an account was active after it was voluntarily closed by a consumer.

Failure to report that a debt was discharged in bankruptcy.

Reporting information that is more than seven years old ( when XXXX XXXX bankruptcy notices should lapse ) or 10 years old ( XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy ). 
Inaccurate statement of balance due. 
Failing to have a reasonable procedure for you to report identity theft ( or supplying credit information on an account where identity theft was previously reported ). 

Mixing Files Mixing files with someone else who has similar background information ( sometimes as careless as failing to distinguish the XXXX and XXXX in similar surnames ). I have repeatedly sent my information regarding my correct name, address, and spelling on my name to no avail. 

Debt Dispute Procedures for Credit Bureaus When submitting a written dispute about the accuracy of your credit report, the credit bureaus must follow proper procedures, such as conducting an investigation, correcting inaccuracies or removing a disputed debt. Sometimes, agencies fall short in these areas. 

Debt Dispute Violations for Creditors Creditors are obligated to note every disputed debt and submit corrected information, stop submitting incorrect information when it has been reported, conduct an internal investigation of disputes within 30 days and provide a reasonable procedure to submit a written dispute or report of identity theft, which THEY DID NOT!!! 

Privacy Violations Your credit report can be disclosed only to entities with a valid need, such as creditors, landlords, insurance providers, utility companies and employers ( with your consent ). Its also a violation to pull a credit report for an impermissible purpose, without permission or a creditor on a discharged debt in bankruptcy using the report to check on your current financial.
