Person called about debt, asked about payment plan said they needed my employer first and a down payment. 
Threatened to take me to court in voicemail but when I called I was told it was already at the sheriffs office and been filed and nothing I could do but wait for a court date. This was the second voicemail. The letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX I called debt collector on XX/XX/XXXX and debt collector told me it was filed on XX/XX/XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Procollect hhas been placing, removing, and returning debts to credit report, doing damage to my credit. Company has been complained about by myself in the past ( Complaint XXXX ) but has done nothing but even use the CFPB complaint to try to collect the debt and did nothing to address my initial complaint. Company has failed to comply with FDCPA regulations relating to debt collection, including failing to provide proper validation as required under the FDCPA and XXXX XXXX of the Texas Finance Code, merely sending a copy of a statement instead of full information that authorizes them to collect the debt. 

Recent issue involves the reporting of debts. Procollect removed their debt from my XXXX report on or before XX/XX/XXXX, when such change was detected. Procollect returned the debt to my report on XX/XX/XXXX.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt resulted from identity theft

I was a fraud victim from someone who opened up a XXXX account with my name and social. I filed a police report and was advised at that time not to send any more personal information to them. The cop went to comcast in person and told them I had submitted proof to him that it was not me. They refuse to take the charge off my account. I contacted them later and they said they could n't do it bc I needed to file a report on the FTC website. So I did. They still wo n't take it off. Now I can not get anyone on the phone with XXXX. They keep giving me the run around and have told me TWICE that the fraud dept. will contact me in 72 hours and they have not. I am not 100 % sure of my rights, but if a cop says that I have already proven my innocence, can they still demand more paperwork? Since when should I obey a XXXX rep over the POLICE? I am to the point of backing down to get it over with. I have my proof of residency ready to email, but I ca n't get anyone to give me an email to send it to. XXXX when I tried to call, they just transferred me to the FTC and hung up. We were both confused as to why we were even on the phone with each other. I do not have a problem with the collection agency because they have removed it twice already with no hesitation. However, XXXX every so often sends it back to the collection agency all over again. I really need help getting XXXX to clear my name. Thank You!
Complaint sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Since  XXXX   XXXX ,   XXXX   I have been struggling to remedy the effects of identity theft. Most of the fraudulent accounts I have been able to block successfully, however  one debt collection agency refuses to block the fraudulent accounts I have specified. Through certified mail, I sent them documents three separate ti mes supporting my position. I sent a letter identifying myself as a victim of identity theft and specified the fraudulent accounts, a  XXXX   XXXX  County police report, an FTC Identity Theft Affidavit signed by an officer, a copy of the credit report with the accounts indicated, a copy of my California 's Driver License, and a copy of an insurance statement as proof of my address. I have called  three times but I keep getting the run around, or have debt collectors s creaming in my ear until I have no choice but to hang up. They conducted an investigation, and failed to notify me of the results. They decided after reviewing the information on the reports, that the debt was in fact mine. But several of the accounts were opened while I was incarcerated in state prison, so they are wrong. I do n't know how to deal with this company and I need help enforcing the law, otherwise these fraudulent accounts will remain on my credit report.
Complaint sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

Equifax is reporting 10 months of no information on my account with  XXXX   XXXX  vehicle loan. Equifax intentionally removed the  ten  months of payment history in an attempt to lower my credit score. Equifax previously did the same thing in    2016  and was only corrected after I filed a complaint with CFPB case number  XXXX . I contacted  XXXX   XXXX  to advise them of this problem and they advised that they would reach out to Equifax. Please see attached email chain. I am having the same problem with Equifax with another vehicle loan I have that is with  XXXX   XXXX . There is  twelve  months of payment history missing from that account. Once again this is a deliberate act to ensure that my score stays low. I work hard to pay my bills and should not be intentionally harassed by Equifax who is suppose to be an independent reporting agency.   XXXX   and  XXXX  have both accounts reporting correctly.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt was paid

I owned a vehicle financed by Veros CrediXXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX, Ca. The vehicle was XXXX to their possession but they recorded this erroneously as a XXXX as opposed to a voluntary XXXX. Furthermore, the vehicle was auctioned for an amount up to the value of the remaining loan balance and Veros Credit ceased reporting this to the credit bureaus as such. Instead, they are reporting that I owe the an approximate amount of {$4600.00}. They have done this for over 60 days. Additionally, when I spoke with a representative prior to the auction, I was advised that any monies obtained from the auctioning of the vehicle would be applied to the account and would therefore reduce my liability by that same dollar amount. Veros Credit has been made ware that they have been reporting incorrectly. I would also like to note that I am not interested in direct contact with the company. They may only reach me through the means of the CFPB. The mailing address, nor any other applicable personal information provided is not to be reported to any consumer reporting agency, nor to be used in any attempt to collect any debts, especially due to the fact that it is a disputed issue. Give our relationship in which they engendered mistrust, Veros Credit does not have my permission to utilize any personal information in any manner, not even for their purposes. The keys to the vehicle were provided willingly to an agent appointment by Veros Credit, which is therefore an implied surrender of the vehicle. In short, that is not the only aspect of the account/reporting that is being disputed as untrue/problematic, but also the collection amount.

Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

According to www.equifaxsecurity2017.com, Equifax compromised my private information during the " hacking incident '' as of XXXX. They waited until XXXX to make the public aware. According to XXXX, Equifax 's Chief Officer of Security obtained her degrees in XXXX XXXX. I believe this was negligence on the part of Equifax to treat network security so haphazardly, given the amount of information on the amount of people they currently have the information of. More than one hundred million Americans are impacted by this incident. Equifax can not directly be reached by phone or email at this time. 

This incident will impact the rest of my life, and possibly even beyond that, as the information that has been misused includes my birth date, full legal name, SSN, all applicable prior addresses and legal relationships. It will cost me thousands of dollars to keep my compromised information from being used against me over the coarse of my life time, including fees for freezing and unfreezing my credit, expenses for credit security, and so forth. 

I never consented to doing business with Equifax, but it is known that they have information of everyone who has ever had any kind of loan, debt, bank account, etc.

Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

I've sent multiple letters to Equifax asking for an investigation and a copy of my updated credit report. The attached letter dated XX/XX/2020 was sent multiple times because I didn't send certified and could not track it. I didn't receive a response to this letter. I sent the exact same letter again and this one was delivered on XX/XX/2020. I was able to track it since I sent it certified. I have yet to receive an updated credit report or proper investigation. It has been way more than 30 days. I even gave them extra time due to COVID-19.
Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

BAsically I applied to Equifax for enrollment and monitoring about a week after the announcement because I was one of the breach victims. They said they would get back to me. I tried again on their website and found, rather unbelievably, one had to have a mobile phone to complete the application or one could n't finish it. I gave up my phone because I do n't use it much. So this preclude many people like myself from application. I wrote complaining and received a form reply telling me they would contact me. So I am effectively at risk a month after trying to rectify my situation. There was no option on the site to enter any other data for qualification than the mobile phone number. Equifax does n't really give a XXXX. 

PS The site mentioned in the attached reply is the one I mentioned.

I checked my credit report through XXXX XXXX software in the beginning of XXXX XXXX And noticed inconsistencies with the reporting of my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The problem was that all three credit bureau's were reporting different late payments. 
So I sent out the 1st letter on XXXX XXXX by certified mail. 
Certified mail receipt XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Equifax
Demanding that all three credit bureau's remove the late payment due to all three credit bureau's being in violation for not displaying 100% accurate information on my report. I then also included a copy showing the account 
( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  displaying that in fact all three credit bureau's are displaying inaccurate information.
I received my credit report from all there credit bureau's 30 days later informing me that they verified the information and that it was accurate.
I then conducted some more research through the credit consumer laws and was able to gather some violations that the credit bureau's are committing against me at this time such as (Pursuant 15 USC 1681a 2(A)(i) & FCRA 15USC 1681a 2Ai )
I then sent out a second letter on XXXX XXXX XXXX by certified mail
