Complaint:
I have been trying for months to get this company to close accounts they have with my name that is not mine. When I think these accounts have been closed a few months i get collection notice. This has been very very frustrating and time consuming. I received a notice today, 1 ) I called the collection agency on the notice XXXX, I spoke with XXXX XXXX that said they had XXXX accounts in their system, XXXX for {$73.00} that have been CLOSED, XXXX for {$220.00} ( amount on the notice ) still opened. 
2 ) Then I called First Financial Investment fund ( the company that placed the account with XXXX ), spoke with XXXX XXXX ext XXXX. She claimed there were XXXX accounts in my name but she shows XXXX opened ; XXXX for {$530.00} and XXXX {$220.00}. I told her that these accounts should have been closed. she insisted they are still owed to XXXX XXXX. I asked her for XXXX XXXX number and she said that she does not have a number. She then gave me a number, when I asked her for the extension she said that she googled it and did not have an extension or contact person. This was the same number I called a few months ago which said that I did not owe them. I called the number after being transferred about 5x, being on the phone about 1 1/2 hours I hang up and called First Financial again. This time XXXX XXXX then claimed I had another account for {$1800.00}. When i told her this had been resolved and I had a letter from THEIR account showing this has been closed, she then transferred me to a XXXX XXXX ext XXXX. XXXX XXXX, then claimed I had XXXX accounts still OPENED, XXXX for {$1800.00} ( which I had the letter showing this has been closed ) XXXX for {$530.00}, XXXX for {$220.00} & XXXX for XXXX. I told her that all these were closed and I need a letter to get these resolved. she claimed she did not have the letter from the attorney. I told her that I needed this resolved to please hold the line 2 mins let me send her a fax so that I ensure they receive the fax, she said that she do not want to hold that i should call back to see if they receive the fax. I attached this letter to this complaint. This has been going on for over 7 years, everytime i think these are resolved years/months after I get collection notices. This is very BAD practice trying to collect debts that is not owed. They are very unprofessional and do not try to understand or hear what one is saying. See above how many times the stories changed, they are trying to collect money that is not owed and this is very BAD. This is taking alot of my time. This will also be reported to Georgia State Attorney & Federal trade commission. This is the 3rd complaints that I have filed for this same situation with this company First Financial Investmern fund IV. The previous Case number : XXXX & XXXX. I demand that your company permanently and forever closed this matter and confirm in writing that the above matter has been immediately terminated.
