Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: WAKEFIELD & ASSOCIATES, INC. (AZ)

I used Wakefield & Associates ' online contact form to request my account number so that I could pay my debt, but I have not received any communication from the company since. Look, I fully understand that I could call the number listed on the website, but we live in the 21st century. Written electronic communication should be available for everyone, and although I am not hearing-impaired, there are many individuals who rely on written communication and could not reasonably be expected to only communicate over the phone. 

I am sure that Wakefield & Associates has at some point mailed me a letter containing my account information, but due to a break-in I had to quickly move and change my address. Again, we live in the modern internet era ; everyone should want to communicate over email, as everything is recorded, timestamped, and signed. If there is some sort of data security issue involving sending this information over email, I would expect at least a " We're sorry, we can't email you this information '' autoreply. 

I used the online contact form located at https : XXXX on approximately XX/XX/2022 regarding an account balance of {$310.00}. 

I just want to know my account number so that I may make an online payment. This is ignoring the incredibly confusing payment portal on your website, which contains three separate buttons for different payment portals. Is this complexity truly necessary?

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (MA)

Below this summary of issue is my most recent communication with Citizens Bank Re Account XXXX I proactively applied for mortgage assistance - initiated in late XX/XX/2022. 
Prior to any collections proceedings from Citizens Bank. 

The program sent a request for information to Citizens. 

Specifically, requesting the " V-File. '' To date, Citizens Bank has not complied. 
However, they started collections via of payment offers that I did not request. 

Now I am being bombarded with Citizens XXXX Application for XXXX XXXX  XXXX. 

I did not request their help, though appreciated. 

As a result, Citizens seem to deliberately ignore the mortgage program 's request for documentation ( V-File ), which jeopardizes my account and adds a great deal of stress and pressure on me. 

Any assistance or guidance from your office would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX ___________________________________________________________________ sent via email according to name and contact information on Citizens correspondence. 

XXXX, ( Telephone XXXX ) Re Loan # XXXX I am bombarded with Citizens Bank documents requesting completed XXXX XXXX  XXXX documents for processing. 

I am unsure where the disconnect is between Citizens Bank and the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am already using for assistance. 

However, I can say it appears Citizens Bank is ignoring their request for the V-file and trying to force me to use your services, which I do not intend to do. 

Therefore you are intentionally making a manageable situation worse which threatens my stability and continues to cause a great deal of stress and pressure to and on me. 

The account was transferred to XXXX XXXX, Va AFTER I initiated my application with an independent mortgage assistance program. 

I do not intend to use Citizens. Please comply with the mortgage program 's request for the V-file. 

Otherwise, I will have to retain a lawyer to address your refusal to cooperate, which seems to intentionally deny my right to financial support from an agency of my choosing. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX email : XXXX XXXX
