Company: Allied Collection Services, Inc. (Nevada) (MA)

I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the America Bar Association and Professional Liability Fund for code of ethics violations.

The dispute page still does not work after numerous complaints. 

Please go to the following address with Equifax click the " Submit a Dispute '' button. https : //www.equifax.com/personal/credit-report-services/credit-dispute/ It will immediately respond with an error message. I believe they are doing this intentionally because they are attempting to sell credit monitoring services. 

Their site also states that you can obtain WEEKLY credit reports from the annual credit report site.

To whom it may concern, I noticed a few errors on my credit report on XX/XX/2021 and wanted to fix this up as I am trying to get my credit to be accurate. I have a closed account with XXXX XXXX XXXX I recently paid them {$200.00} to settle which is what the customer service rep told me would be removed. I called them on XX/XX/2021 to ask why it is still hasn't been removed and they were asking me for more money. I feel misled by there company and that I no longer owe them due to agreement made they made. I also have a closed account with XXXX  department store card which to my knowledge was settled a long time ago so unsure why that is still on there. Lastly XXXX  XXXX is coming after me with harassing phone calls. I have no knowledge of what they they are talking about or authorized anything by them. I am looking for all 3 of this inaccurate information to removed from my credit profile.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MI)

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX credited my credit card account with the amount {$660.00}. This was a random erroneous credit that I did not initiate in any way. 

This temporary credit then negated my autopay scheduled for late XX/XX/XXXX. This then caused me to miss my XXXX monthly bill. XXXX XXXX did not email or text me about any of this ( despite my election to paperless notifications ) and only sent me a physical letter months after the fact, which received XX/XX/XXXX. 

This late payment then caused XXXX XXXX to freeze all my rewards points, fine me, and report to the credit agencies a missed payment as being my fault. This then lowered my credit score over 100 points. 

And after hours on the phone with XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, they promised to fix it and follow up, but still nothing has been addressed about this erroneous late payment report on my credit statement for two weeks. When I talked with XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, they didn't seem to believe any further action on their part was necessary, so I had to initiate the process of requesting they fix my erroneous credit report all over again.

Company: U.S. BANCORP (GA)

Visa XXXX XXXX was purchased for the amount of {$100.00} from our local XXXX grocery store. The back of the card states it is issued by U.S. Bank National Association from VISA XXXX XXXX. The original gift card was registered online per the back of the card instructions. I was unable to use the card ANYWHERE. Not in store ( tried multiple ), not online. Used as debit and credit, nothing worked. Multiple calls to the number provided on the card for customer service/activation XXXX. The CSR 's offer XXXX help or info, regardless of my requests. Most of them hang up on you. Finally I got one CSR to send me a new card. Of course, this card does not work either. The new card sent to me will not activate online at their website or by phone. I put in the card number on the front, then it asks for the 3 digit code on back, which I enter. It then tells me there is no account associated with these numbers. I call CSR again. The agent tells me it is not a scam, but he will resend me a new card. I tell him that has been done already. He then hangs up. This is absolutely unacceptable. I have never had an issue with a gift card like this ever. The replacement card sent to me even has my name on the front, and still, will not work. I requested every agent I spoke with to be refunded and all told me it was not an option. I would just like my {$100.00} back. This was a gift for my child for his birthday. Very upsetting.

I was first contacted by XXXX XXXX who called me from several different phone numbers, that were disconnected upon callback. I told XXXX that the debt they were attempting to collect was incorrect. He proceeded to tell me that he didnt care if I thought the amount was wrong, and if I didnt pay in full they would hurt my credit. I attempted to write this creditor and contact several times. After multiple failed attempts to receive documentation from the collector, they placed the item on my credit causing a triple digit decrease in credit score.
