Complaint sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

1. ProCollect Inc refused to reveal the contact details of the creditors thereby shielding me from challenging the improper business process of forwarding a debt to a debt collector without giving me the opportunity to know about the debt and to address it.

2. ProCollect Inc in enforcing a debt notice to a debtor without prior information to the debtor by a creditor is in violation of Texas Deceptive Trade Practices/Consumer Protection Act and Texas Debt Collection Act.

3. ProCollect Inc persistently contemptuously ignores the ruling of Justice XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2017 which shows that the creditor vacated the debt in the creditors appeal to the court, and hence, the court ruling nullifying the debt.

4. ProCollect Inc refused to remove the debt from the credit records and rental history of XXXX, XXXX  and XXXX, XXXX thereby denying our family the ability to rent a new accommodation.

5. ProCollect Inc continues to cause psychological harm and damage to the growth of our child because we do not have a proper accommodation for her upbringing.

6. ProCollect Inc continues to cause damage to the reputation of XXXX, XXXX  and XXXX, XXXX  by refusing to remove the debt from our credit histories.

Complaint sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

I have a citibank checking account that has been blocked for nearly three weeks. I am currently paying fees to keep the account open, late fees for my credit card because without access to the account I can't pay my bills. I have contacted the bank four times, and was told that my account is under investigation and then they hung up on me. I have done nothing illegal, owe no money, and have at no point received any information as to why I am being targeted by Citibank. 

For months before, I had been locked out of the account because of their incompetent internet banking that would change my password. But at this point they won't even give me information and just hang up when I call. 

This is causing me severe hardships as I am abroad and need access to these funds in order to eat, pay rent, pay bills, etc. 

It is XX/XX/XXXX, and I have not had access to the account since XXXX. 

In addition, I have been paying a monthly fee of XXXX USD for a service of citibank priority that I am unable to use, given they have never sent me a card to activate and use.
Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

To whom it may concern I have been having grief with the same companies over and over. I have disputed these debts on numerous occasions and yes they are removed but they are later reinserted, sold to another debt collection agency, with no update on my credit report or proof that I am the owner of these debts from IC Systems. I have made several calls to the original collector XXXX and XXXX XXXX collections and Fraud and no one is able to help me or tell me what this is about. Today they advised this may be fraud and that I should dispute this account. The only account number I have from collections company is XXXX. They are damaging my credit and reputation substantially without any proof of original contract or signatures from me. The disputes are not even showing on my credit reports and I am aware that my reports should reflect that information. Nor have I received updates from my disputes or original time frame or contract from debt instead after the disputes these accounts are re-aging and that is completely illegal. Also following disputes it seems to me that they are reselling the accounts to someone else after showing removed and then opening again. In addition each time these inquiries are placed back on my credit report I have never received a 5 day reinsertion letter and if there is proof of such letter, please also send to my address. IF not this is yet another violation of the FCRA section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ), which states you are required to notify me in writing. I am asking for the last time for this agency furnish original contracts and proof and initial contract dates for all collection accounts they are claiming belongs to me. I will take further legal actions if these accounts are not removed. I have exhausted all my efforts with this company and the games they are playing or illegal. Please review all 3 credit reports to see the removals, re-insertions, and re-aging that is continually happening. I am really doing all I can to get my credit at a good standing but this is really impacting my credit. I was at XXXX and have. The account that is showing on my Credit Report is XXXX and thats also a violation because account number should be dislosed. 

Please resolve this. 


Thank you

Reached out to original creditor regarding item found on my credit report. Creditor disclosed that she could not talk to me regarding anything because the account was not in their office. Contacted ProCollect collection agency. Asked agency for validation of debt due to it not being my debt. Agency declined to send me written debt validation letter. Agency then told me to contact original creditor for validation of debt. Once I disclosed that I had already contacted original creditor and that they would not talk with me, ProCollect then agreed that it was only to be handled by their office ( ProCollect ). I proceeded to ask for validation of debt and the agent told me that it had already been sent out and proceeded to end the call interaction. I have not received any communication from then and I have been disputing this account for years now.

I decided to pull my credit because every single time I would apply for a credit card I would get denied. To the best of my knowledge I have always paid my bills on time. So, I know for a fact that these things showing on my report do not belong to me. These accounts were fraudulently made without my consent. Please remove these accounts from my report as soon as possible.

Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

I signed up for an checking account with Bank of the West  XXXX XXXX due to a promotional offer of {$250.00} if I performed DD for three months totalling at least {$1000.00} per month. I opened the account on XX/XX/XXXX. 

After the three months had passed ( end of XX/XX/XXXX ) I received no bonus. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted the bank and asked them when they would pay out. They said to wait till end of XXXX. End of XXXX came and went and still no bonus. Again I asked them when I would get the offer. This time they said I did not meet the requirements since my account balance was {$0.00} on a specific day XX/XX/XXXX. Note this isn't in the promotional three month period and when I asked if I had met all qualifications no indications were given by any customer service rep that I had to have a nonzero balance on a specific day after the promotional period ended. 

The bank has acted in bad faith and has unfairly taking advantage.
Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Equifax, and historically and well-known Credit Reporting Agency, should have used better precautions to secure personal information for my credit. This incident can possibly have a life time effect on me as a consumer. Now, I am not sure who has my information are what they have or what they could release. I surely do n't want to see something released on the news that could be related to anything regarding my credit. Having a truly free credit report for one year does n't fix this problem. And I am open to negotiations as to how we can best fix this quickly.. for example, how do you plan to compensate me for such a totally irresponsible Act?

Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

On or about XX/XX/XXXX I purchased a vehicle from XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$10000.00}, financed through Ally Financial. The car was repossessed on or about XX/XX/XXXX. 

I mailed a letter to XXXX and XXXX XXXX disputing the full amount of the vehicle XXXX is requesting me to pay, since the vehicle has been sold. After the vehicle was reposed, I did not receive any notices. 

1 ) Which states that the they have the car in their possession and that the car will be sold to recover the amount owed. This is called the Notice of Sale, which I did not receive, which should have been done within ten days of their possession of the vehicle. Since they did not provide me with this information they can be barred from collecting on a deficiency judgment.

2 ) After the vehicle is sold the lender then is required to send me a second notice, stating the amount that they credited me from the resale, as well as a cancellation notice of the original sales contract. 

Since there were a GAP Insurance and service contract on the vehicle into the original purchase, these amounts should have been deducted from the amount that the XXXX states I own.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Equifax and XXXX are reporting incorrectly that I am 120 days past due on the XXXX and XXXX accounts. Please see the attached spreadsheet of reporting bureaus and account numbers. Also, please reference pages 2, 7, 8, and 9 of the attached credit report. This account reports a {$0.00} balance and {$0.00} past due. However, they are coded as if I am currently past due in present day. I am not disputing any prior late payments, but rather the coding error. This account is currently being coded as an I5. Please change the coding to I1. This incorrect reporting is harming my credit scores. Please keep in mind that it is impossible to be late on accounts where nothing is owed and nothing is past due.

Complaint sub-issue: Fraudulent loan

I XXXX XXXX a consumer entered into a consumer credit transaction with Carvana on XX/XX/2022. A consumer credit transaction is a transaction in which a finance charge is involved. Pursuant to 15 usc 1605 a finance charge is the sum of all charges in a consumer credit transaction. My property was supposed to be delivered to me on XX/XX/2022 but later found out that Carvana refuse to release my property because I didn't verify my income for a down payment. Pursuant to 15 usc1662 I know that I'm the Original creditor and just extended my credit to Carvana so they should not have been asking or promoting that a specified down payment is required in connection with any extension of consumer credit unless I asked for it. I was so upset I've been having headaches and I will not stop sweating. Upon speaking to a live representative on XX/XX/2022 named XXXX from the Arizona location she too continued to tell me I had to make a down payment to receive my property. I proceeded to her I couldn't and that would be Illegal, and I would not make the payment. XXXX told me contact their office to fix my problem. Later on, the same day I called Carvana and was connected with XXXX in the department of verification at the Arizona location he was rude, and I told him that this was a consumer credit transaction and that I had purchased the car and put security interest in my property with my credit card pursuant to 15 usc 1602 with my open-ended credit plan, so it was no need for down payment because that would be Illegal. he told me I didn't pay for it with my credit card and that federal law meant nothing. I told him the contract was under federal law he did not care. At this point I had to take a break and hang up because I felt a XXXX XXXX coming on. I decided to call one more time later on the same day and was connected to a supervisor who yelled at me and basically and told me I had to make a down payment, or I wouldn't get my car. I told her that was illegal, and I asked for the audit trail of the alleged loan since she said I got a loan from Carvana, and she refused. She then referred me to XXXX XXXX from the Department of verification which I once again told her this was a consumer credit transaction, and that the car is paid for with my credit card and she told me I had to make the down payment as well or would not receive the car. I asked her for the audit trail to the alleged loan and she refused and pursuant to 15usc 1691 I have the right not to be discriminated against and a free copy of any appraisals and valuations developed in connection with the applicant 's application for a loan that is secured. I can't believe that Carvana is really furnishing certain deceptive forms pursuant to 15 usc 1692j and also not giving me the right to recission pursuant to 15 usc 1635. Carvana also committed identity theft pursuant to 15 usc 1602 ( p ) because they ran my credit card, and I received no benefits.

I have been requesting for this company to send me validation of debt to clarify everything about this alleged debt but not only they have failed to send me information, but they are also reporting false information to the credit bureau which is damaging my character. My information may have gotten to the hands of the wrong people and this may be the result of such an incident.
