Complaint sub-issue: Contacted you after you asked them to stop

I am the XXXX  of a XXXX that is in dispute of charges from a repair company. I was contacted by RAB ( Regional Adjustment Bureau ) and informed that they would be collecting the debt. I informed them that I was in dispute of the amount of the debt, but I agreed to pay part of the debt as full payment because I felt it was appropriate compensation for their efforts to repair our issues. I was then sent a letter stating that the debt was to be paid THAT DAY by ACH transfer OR Credit card. Fearing that the company may in some way be deceptive ( Based on internet information available to me ), I stated that any payments would be made by XXXX   check. They then made harassing telephone calls to me at my office ( on a recorded line ), then two calls to me harassing me on my cell phone. Then I received a text message stating " Should I call XXXX, XXXX or XXXX to get them to pay your debt ''. Those are my wife and children, not associated in any way with my business. 

I proceeded at that point to send an email with the following language : Harassing me in my office by telephone and harassing me on my cell phone are one thing, but sending me a text message threatening to harass my wife and children is unacceptable. I refuse to be on a phone call in which I am being yelled at and berated, hence the reason for my exiting the phone call ( all recorded ), but you have stepped way over the line. I will conclude any business with XXXX directly, ANY business between you and I is concluded. Pursuant to my rights under federal debt collection laws, I am requesting that you cease and desist communication with me, as well as my family and friends, in relation to this and all other alleged debts you claim I owe. You are hereby notified that if you do not comply with this request, I will immediately file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and the New York State Attorney Generals office. Civil and criminal claims will be pursued. 

I was contacted twice more that same day by this individual. I feel that this matter will not be resolved and this particular individual will stop at nothing to continue the harassment.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt was paid

Original case : XXXX at CFPB Sirs US Bank. 

I am immensely surprised at the treatment you provide to your ex-customers. 

Regarding the claim that I made through the CFPB against US Bank, I comment the following : On XX/XX/XXXX, in a simple, concrete and kind letter, issued by ( document attach # 1 ) : XXXX XXXX XXXX U.S. Bank Reatail Payment Solutions He let me know that the claim was solved. 

I received this letter on XX/XX/XXXX ; but since XX/XX/XXXX I could see in XXXX and XXXX   the rectifications requested in my original claim. Attached photo of the information presented ( document attach # 2 ) I thought that everything was solved, to continue with my personal plans : Apply as soon as possible for a mortgage loan. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I observe my credit report in XXXX, and I see that the data that had been disputed in my original claim ( they were already solved ) returned to be reported. Attached photo with the report of XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ( document attach # 3 ). 

Continuously to this, I review my case at the CFPB page and I find a very professional letter, educated, but with more problems than solutions, issued on XX/XX/XXXX by ( document attach # 4 ) : XXXX XXXX Customer Care Specialist Honestly, I do not understand what happens or where we want to go with this case. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I made several calls to the number XXXX ( as you suggest in your letters ),  but only answers a machine, which indicates to leave my information, and somebody call me back in 24 hours. I am waiting the call today ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 

I have been respectful of their times and procedures, I have done everything to find a friendly and immediate solution, but that has not been enough. I can not continue postponing my plans, due to the actions ( good or bad ) that the representatives of US Bank carry out. I need a solution no later than 24 hours after you receive this communication through CFPB. 

Once again I request that the data of my account appear in the credit bureaus as an settlement should be reported : Condition : Paid-Close Current Balance : {$0.00} Status : Charge Off. Settled - less than full balance Nowhere should there appear something like derogatory or balance > XXXX ( XXXX ). these terms do not apply in a settlement. 


Regards, XXXX XXXX

You say that your company has reinvestigated these accounts and verified them as being accurate but it is obvious that you have verified nothing. All you have done is parroted information given to you by other sources and shifted the burden back to me to prove that the reported items on the accounts listed below are not valid which is clearly in violation of 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ).

Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verfied. The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law.
