Consumer complaint received 2019-05-15
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Communication tactics — You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying
Company: Diversified Consultants, Inc. (MA)

I hope this complaint finds you well. I also hope that my complaint will serve as a warning to other individuals who hopefully read this complaint and how to avoid Diversified Consultants. 

First and foremost, after receiving a letter in the mail after noticing that Diversified Consultants has placed a Derogatory Remark on my Credit Report, thereby severely ruining it I was deeply concerned. I had filed a complaint with XXXX as well due to their communications tactics, and their complete disregard to providing me with all of the information necessary to validate the debt in a timely fashion. 

They have refused to provide me with the following information, as per the Debt Validation requirements : Agreement with your client that grants you the authority to collect on this alleged debt. 
Agreement that bears the signature of the alleged debtor wherein he/she agreed to pay the creditor. 
Any insurance claims been made by any creditor regarding this account. 
Any Judgments obtained by any creditor regarding this account. 
Name and address of alleged creditor. 
Name on file of alleged debtor. 
Alleged account number. 
Date this alleged debt became payable. 
Date of original charge off or delinquency. 
Verification that this debt was assigned or sold to collector. 
Complete accounting of alleged debt. 
Commission for debt collector if collection efforts are successful. 

Not only that, but the only letter I received from them was the same letter that I have received previously, and this is deeply concerning to me. As the original balance has been successfully paid off in the past, and they are trying to still collect said debt more than 5 years later! 

Lastly, when I filed the XXXX  Credit Dispute I then noticed in the fine print that they operate as a different entity in my state ( Massachusetts )! This could also cause an error with my dispute as well and I believe this is a under-handed tactic by them! 

They claim to be named Diversified Consultants, Inc., which can be found on the top right of the letter attached to this complaint. However in the fine print they state that they operate as Florida Diversified Consultants in the state of Massachusetts. 

Lastly, they claim that I must inform their office that I am disputing the validity of this debt, instead of having to go through the credit bureaus. 

Please help me resolve this issue, as this is severely affecting my future prospects in multiple areas.

Student loans are considered " education records '' under FERPA. This means that they are protected by the privacy provisions of FERPA.

FERPA generally prohibits the release of education records without the student 's written consent.

The federal government guarantees most student loans. This means that the government will repay the loans if the student defaults. Therefore, there is no need for private credit reporting agencies to have this information on their credit reports. 

Reporting student loans on credit reports can have a negative impact on students ' credit scores. This can make it more difficult for students to qualify for loans and other forms of credit.

*Upgrade INC XXXX XXXX I have now pointed out the mistakes so this account needs to be deleted immediately not updated, by updating the terms is an admission of guilt and direct violation of my rights of a fair investigation.I am not sure how you can state it was verified.How is it possible that Transunion, XXXX, XXXX all verified the accounts above as accurate, but they all have inconsistencies in the reporting? In fact, there is no possible way a full investigation could have been done in accordance to section 611 due to the inconsistencies coming after my original request of investigation. 

At this point. I demand you delete these accounts immediately. Please forward me an updated credit report to my address after you have completed your deletion.

On XX/XX/2019 I received my first bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX Hospital for {$2200.00}. I have made payments on their online system of {$300.00} every month since receiving the original bill. 

XX/XX/2019 {$300.00} XX/XX/2019 {$300.00} XX/XX/2019 {$300.00} XX/XX/2019 {$300.00} I received a statement in the mail dated XX/XX/2019 stating that I had overdue balance of {$1000.00} and the balanced needs to be payed on or before XX/XX/2019. 

I went to pay balance online on XX/XX/2019 and the outstanding balance listed is {$0.00}. A highlighted portion of the page indicates " You currently have accounts in bad debt collections. Please contact customer service to make payment arrangements on those balances. '' I contacted customer service on XX/XX/2019 to try to understand what is happening. The rep indicated that my balance had already been sent to a collection agency and that there was nothing they could do even though I have been paying monthly installments of {$300.00}. The rep indicated because I did not schedule those payment amounts with XXXX XXXX that the balance has gone into arrears. The rep said I should have received a letter from the collection agency as it was sent to them on XX/XX/2019. The rep gave me the telephone number of the collection agency as I could not pay off my balance through XXXX XXXX. Keep in mind that the statement indicates I have until XX/XX/2019 to pay off balance and not have it reported to the credit bureau. 

I contacted the collection agency on XX/XX/2019 who said I should have gotten or would be getting a letter to pay the arrears amount. I indicate I had not received any communication from them. I used my credit card to pay the balance plus a {$5.00} fee for using the credit card to XXXX Hollis Cobb on XX/XX/2019 in the total of {$1000.00}. 

I should not have my credit score effected when the statement indicates that I have until XX/XX/2019 to pay the balance.
