Consumer complaint received 2017-05-26
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying

Complaint:
Since XX/XX/2016, I have been trying to work with American Express on a credit card debt of approximately {$11000.00}. Prior to this time, I had a high-paying job, which I lost, and I am also going through a divorce. I had a number of other big-name creditors ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ), all of whom I contacted at the time of the job loss and with whom I worked out a payment plant. I have been paying all of these other debts on time and have never received a single collection call from the other creditors. I attempted to work out a payment plan with American Express similarly but on four separate occasions, the caller threatened to damage my credit if I did not pay a certain amount at that time. <P/>They refused to work out a payment plan with me ( not a settlement, I fully intend to pay off all of the debts in full ) until I paid the set amount they demanded on the phone call. Often, I did not have enough to cover the amount, but I paid it anyway because I was worried about ruining my credit. I also began working with a credit consolidation agency recommended to me by XXXX called XXXX XXXX XXXX. I wanted the AmEx debt to go onto this consolidated payment plan, but AmEx apparently refused according to XXXX. Until XX/XX/2016, I had never missed a bill or had a late payment in my life. My credit score was in the high 700s. Now it is in the low 500s, because AmEx is claiming I am not paying, when I have made every attempt to come to an agreement with them. They are making daily calls to my cell phone. I have asked them to stop and said I have repeatedly made attempts to come up with a payment arrangement. They continue to refuse to make a payment arrangement with me unless I pay the collector on the spot right at the time of the call. I believe that this collector is actually affiliated with AmEx and not from an outside agency. They even called my parents in Ohio, saying they were " trying to get ahold of me, '' which upset my parents a great deal. <P/>I simply do not understand what I did wrong here. Every other creditor, including some health care creditors and other big banks, have worked with me exceptionally well and I have paid off my negotiated plan without any issues. This single creditor I believe is using harassing phone calls and deceptive tactics ( telling me they will work out a payment plan with me after I pay, and then doing the same thing the next month ). I am very upset, but am lucky to have some good resources at my disposal -- I worry that this company is taking advantage of others who do not. I want the calls to stop, I want the creditor to make some reasonable accommodation for me to pay the debt and I want them to treat myself and their other customers with honesty and fairness.

Company: Accelerated Receivables Solutions
State: WY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Complaint:
Accelerated Receivable Solutions had me served on XX/XX/2020 for debt that had been paid in full on XX/XX/2020. When I called concerning the summons they assured me without proof that they had corrected the issue and that I would be receiving notification that the court summons had been reversed. I have never received that correction and I am still on the Docket with the XXXX County Court for debt already paid in full. Today when I called the agency, contrary to collection laws, they failed to identify themselves on the phone, failed to identify who they were, asked questions concerning the issue prior to announcing that they would be recording the phone call or that it was an attempt to collect a debt. Then after assuring me over the last several phone calls that all debt had been satisfied, suddenly had hold debt that I had never been notified about in writing in their office and demanded payment. They have to be prompted numerous times to send receipts for proof of payment, and they refuse to send proof of debt when it is requested. Collection laws clearly state they must identify themselves at the beginning of the phone call with first and last name and what the organization is, that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that they are recording you, and this can not wait until after they have talked and badgered you for 10 minutes. Additionally ARS is charging a 30 % processing fee ( XXXX  dollars to even take payment on a debt they never notified me in writing upon receipt in their office ). And they stated on the phone that they had the debt in their office for a couple weeks, which meant they were sitting on the debt contrary to collection laws to accrue additional interest before notification. However I have never received notification from this company for any debt, instead I find it on my credit report and have to investigate and locate them. This is also a violation of the credit collection laws in that they are making no attempt to notify the person responsible for the debt that they have acquired it. XXXX  XXXX  XXXX, and XXXX XXXX have stated through their financial officer that they immediate send the debt to the credit company on the day that they bill the consumer, and in many instances its a fight to get one or the other company to recognize that bills have been paid.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
This XXXX XXXX loan for {$500.00} fell behind after job loss. This company used the XXXX XXXX app, and requires a subscription service to access these {$500.00} loans that can be repaid and taken out repeatedly. The service advertises that the membership can essentially pay for itself by having you deposit money into an investment account. 

Due to job loss, I was no longer able to pay for their membership and unable to access the details of my account. After some time, the company sent me a notification around XXXX of XXXX that funds from my investment account were used as a payment for the loan. From then on to XX/XX/XXXX, I had received no correspondence by email or physical mail to my address regarding this account. 

As such, I filed a dispute with XXXX, XXXX, and Experian with regards to this account because it had not reported any payment history since XXXX of XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX in response to my dispute, XXXX reported 13 consecutive missed payments to my report, all but 3 reported as 120 days late. Some payments are egregiously reported as 120 days late such as XXXX and XXXX of XXXX, even though 120 days has yet to pass from those time periods. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX was paid {$230.00}, the remaining balance on the loan upon discovering the payment history update to my reports. I explained to a representative the situation that I received no notifications or notices regarding the status of this account until this very dispute and I was directed to a form for them to perform an investigation. I had asked for adjustment to the report due to the unfair and egregious reporting. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX team responded back via email with an aggressively worded response, stating that no adjustments will be made and that they " will not respond to further request that is substantially the same as the previous request ( s ) submitted by you or on your behalf ''. 

I fully acknowledge that my financial situation at the time did not allow me to make payments as agreed. However, once my account had fallen behind, the company made no attempt contact with me for over a year to address my account after my investment account had paid for it. To report no information on my reports in that entire time frame until a dispute was filed feels incredibly aggressive and egregious considering the circumstances.
