Consumer complaint received 2023-11-08
Company: First Credit Services Inc.
State: NJ
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Complaint:
In XXXX of XXXX, I received the first phone call from FirstCredit Services, a debt collection agency based out of XXXX NJ. They informed me that my previous XXXX, XXXX XXXX in XXXX NJ, had sent my account to them for an unpaid balance. I asked if they could send me the documentation, as I had left the gym 4 months prior and had settled the account when I did. 

They never sent me any documentation, but continued calling me. I have received calls as early as XXXXXXXX XXXX EST, to as late as XXXXXXXX XXXX EST. I received, on average, 18 calls a week from FirstCredit Services.

I told them multiple times to stop calling me so early and so late, but they did not stop. They kept saying they would send me the documentation from XXXX XXXX, but they did not. I then sent them a formal letter asking for documentation in XXXX of XXXX. They did not respond for 2.5 months. Of course, if they dont respond within 30 days my understanding was that they would have to remove the collections. But they did not. 

When I told them I wanted them to fully stop contacting me in XXXX of XXXX, they finally sent me a letter. While the letter was addressed to me, it was a debt collection for someone named XXXX XXXX in XXXX NJ. The enclosed documents explained how she moved to XXXX from XXXX, and thats why she was trying to cancel her gym membership and declined to pay. 

To this day, I have never received any information from FirstCredit Services regarding their alleged debt to XXXX XXXX. In the most recent phone call on XX/XX/XXXX, they informed me if I did not pay the debt they threatened to submit a request to decrease your credit score. I am not sure if that possible, but I once again told them to stop calling me.

A common theme with FirstCredit Services I have seen is that they are violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by : ( 1 ) calling before XXXX and after XXXX ( 2 ) sending me other peoples private debt collections ( 3 ) calling me 18 times a week ( 4 ) not sending me documentation after being formally requested to do so ( 5 ) not removing the collections within 30 days of not sending me the requested documentation ( 6 ) continuing to contact me after being requested not to I ask that the debt be removed from my account. Please let me know if there is another way in which I can report this agency for their behavior.

Complaint:
This is XXXX XXXX XXXX submitting this CFPB complaint requesting the removal of the disputed account and information from my Credit File. It appears that my Credit File has been compromised. I was going through my records & noticed many files which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA, the Credit Reporting Agencies are required by law to remove any account which was found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute accounts do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for the Credit Bureaus and the bank 's records. Please remove these files. If the Credit Bureaus feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation which bears my signature. If the Credit Bureaus do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. So please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly. Please remove the disputed accounts as they were opened without my consent or knowledge, pursuant to Section 605B of Fair Credit Reporting Act : XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: NORTHWEST BANCSHARES INC
State: OH
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Late or other fees

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023 I asked the chat rep thru the account portal how to avoid the {$5.00} monthly fees and was told the balance needed to be above {$300.00}. I transferred {$200.00} to make the balance XXXX from XXXX through the end of the month. On XX/XX/2023 I was charged {$5.00} again. 

I noticed it today on XX/XX/2023 and contacted chat support again. This time I was told it's an average balance. With today being the 9th, the average will be below {$300.00} at the end of this month, thereby guaranteeing I'm billed another {$5.00} fee. 

I feel they should have stated that it's based on an average so that I would have moved more over. Instead they leave you just enough information to keep you in this endless loop of fees. 

Up until XX/XX/2023 my average balance of all accounts with this bank was {$70000.00}, yet they still saw it fit to charge me fees on the smallest one. 

I closed the small account today.

Actually the company didn't do anything wrong. There weren't appropriate prompts to select from. 

I received a letter in the mail from Capital One stating my linked external checking account information recently changed... I called them because I did not recall having a connected account to them. They said it was a XXXX XXXX account ending in XXXX. I do not have a XXXX account ending in that. I called XXXX. They confirmed I don't have an account ending in that. Called Capital One back and they said someone closed a connecting account, meaning they probably have my SSN and can do all sorts of connecting financial things. 

Please advise.
