Complaint:
Hello, this company placed a debt collection on my credit file without notifying me first. As a result my credit has been impacted negatively. They finally sent me written communication stating that if I paid a settlement amount that this debt would be removed from my credit report by XX/XX/2021. I have paid the settlement amount in full and I have verification of that payment along with verification of the letter that they sent me. This collection still remains on my credit and it is after XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint:
Midland is reporting in my credit file however it is inaccurate because it was said to be late yet all the payments are OK. I do not think that this is mine. I did my research on what to do because it is affecting my scores to badly, I asked for documents, disclosure and where did the account came from but they failed to provide me so I came online and researched. The plaintiff is asking the same thing that I wanted and at the end of it all the plaintiff won this case. I am talking about the Texas VS Midland Funding Case. I have learned that Midland claims to have a disclosure and an agreement that there is a Consumer Agreement for all who they are collecting from. I guarantee you that there is no such thing that I have agreed upon to.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Seized or attempted to seize your property

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX, I signed a lease with The Social XXXX Student Spaces in XXXX, FL. within the three business days of consequence-free lease termination, I reached out to the property and notified them that due to an unexpected death in my family that I would not be able to move into the apartment. I asked if I need to fax them anything such as a death certificate, an obituary, or a lease termination form. I was informed that none of that was needed and that I could take my time to grieve without the stress of having to find a subleaser. Ironically, I was told prior to singing my lease in case I did not like it to not pay the entire move-in fee. How can a lease be canceled if it was it was never effective due to the move-in fee never being paid? 
XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to the property to confirm that I was not moving in. However, the person whom I spoke with was no longer employed at the property. I explained the entire situation and was basically told that I have to pay the monthly rent until I find someone to sublease the apartment. 
XX/XX/XXXX, I get a notification that my credit score dropped due to an unpaid collection. I reached out the collection agency, IQ Data International. I asked for a detailed debt validation such as an itemized list of fees owed, a copy of the lease with my signature on it, any documentation that I would have sent the property such as a copy of my driver 's license and social security card. However, as of XX/XX/XXXX I have not received anything from IQ Data International in the mail regarding the debt or anything that I asked for. 

IQ Data International has threatened to send me jail.

IQ Data International has threatened to do an asset investigation to seize any asset that I could own.

IQ Data International has harrassed me to the point that I felt forced to change my number.

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX I received a bill for {$190.00} for ER services. Since I had not too long moved to XXXX NC I assumed it was my local and nearest hospital and they had sent the bill in error. I then went to the billing department at the hospital and they told me they did not have me as receiving services on that date. In addition, that I was not even registered as a patient in their system. A few months later, I received a letter from SCA collection agency in XXXX NC, stating that I owe the same amount {$190.00}. I discussed it with the rep and told them that I did not owe that money and that I do n't know who could be charging me that being that the hospital does not have me in their system as receiving services. That is because I never went to the hospital on the date they 're claiming that I received services XX/XX/XXXXorXX/XX/XXXX ( bill not clear ). Early this year while checking my credit report I realized that SCA was negatively reporting on my credit and is the only negative mark on my credit report. Little did I know, they had already been reporting for some time. Which brought my credit score down. Sometime in XX/XX/XXXX or early XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX, I called SCA. I spoke to a Rep and shared my findings, in regards to the hospital not having me as receiving services in the ER or anywhere else on XX/XX/XXXXorXX/XX/XXXX ( bill not clear ). I then went ahead and filled out a dispute form on SCA 's website. In general, I stated that this was not my bill, to validate or immediately remove from my credit report. I received no response. To be 100 % sure that this bill did not miraculously pop up in the hospital computer system, I went back and spoke to billing XX/XX/XXXX. A woman in the billing dept said the hospital which is XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), does not use SCA for their collection services. Further more, she reiterated that they did not have me in the system as receiving services on that day XX/XX/XXXXorXX/XX/XXXX ( bill not clear ). She also said it could have been an ER Dr billing me, but since there 's no evidence of me receiving ER services on XX/XX/XXXXorXX/XX/XXXX ( bill not clear ), it could not be possible. The collection agency Rep was not helpful at all and they are still reporting. To make it clear, I know that I did not go to the hospital or ER for any services on XX/XX/XXXXorXX/XX/XXXX ( bill not clear ). The hospital does not have any record of me receiving services on XX/XX/XXXXorXX/XX/XXXX( bill not clear ). However, there is a bill in collections stating that I owe XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for services received on XX/XX/XXXXorXX/XX/XXXX ( bill not clear ). and I have not received any services from anyone that deals with SCA. SCA is reporting fraudulently on my credit and refuses to validate or remove. Please help.

Complaint:
After reviewing my credit report from XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX I noticed that the report has credit inquiries that I did not authorize.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, 2017 I sent a certified letter to XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax on behalf of myself and my husband regarding a Bankruptcy listed on our accounts. Per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) requesting validation with the original creditor. I have contacted the Bankruptcy courts and requested policy information regarding the validation of the Bankruptcy court records, as the information appearing on our files is inaccurate and inconsistent. Per the Bankruptcy court they have not only not received any requests to validate this information, they do not validate this information and they only provide the case number and name on a bankruptcy. As such there is another couple within the same county we live with the same names as my husband and I and our information is frequently confused when we have gone to assess our personal property and have received mail for the other couple from the Tax assessors office in the past. I have requested copies of the documentation used to validate this information and it has been returned to me again as verified without providing documentation. Per the FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ) I am now turning to you for assistance in this matter. And request that unless physical verification can be provided to me all information obtained in these listings which is inaccurate, inconsistent and erroneous be removed from our credit files. Instead, I am in receipt of letters stating that unless I provide new information to support my claim they will not be re investigating this matter again. The investigation never took place to begin with.

Complaint:
I have 9 Federal student loans with XXXX that were once serviced by the department of education. These loans were sold, without my consent to XXXX who now claims that because they are no longer affiliated with the Dept. of Edu my loans no longer fall under the current student loan repayment moratorium that was put in place because of the pandemic. As a result I now have 9, 90+ day late payments reporting to my credit report. I wasn't paying them because I was under the impression that because they are federal student loans originated by the Dept. of Edu that they would fall under the payment freeze. The 9, 90+ day late payment reports are unjustly harmful to my credit. I shouldn't be punished because the identity of my loans were changed without my consent, or my knowledge.

They pushed me into Forbearance and also their Income Driven program is a sham. They tried to state that all calculations called for $ 600+ dollars a month. This was out of control.
