Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Mid-South Adjustment Co., Inc. (IN)

I owe the VA money for my medications. The amount is incorrect. They usually take it out of my tax check. This is the first time this has happened. I'd like to know why I wasn't given a chance to pay this before it went to collections..? It has been a bad couple of months so I can't pay this amount right now. I guess it will just have to come out of my income tax return.I 'm behind on all my bills..I 'd like some time to pay this off if possible..ty

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (PA)

I contact XXXX, XXXX, and Experian about hard inquiries on my report. I got the most push back from XXXX and Experian but all 3 told me that they do not dispute the hard inquiries since they are factual data. I proceeded to tell them that I am requestion that they look into these hard inquiries or remove them if they will not. they kept telling me that will not, and they do not look into them. I proceeded to ask for a supervisor and got the same thing. I was told that I needed a police report or to file a complaint with you guys if I didn't like this. I then asked for the legal department because they have to legally look into them because I am requesting a dispute and for them to verify the accounts. They told me I am not allowed to speak to them and if I wanted to, I have to send a letter. They never started a dispute or noted that they would be looked into. I know this because I called back a day later to check if they were being disputed and was told they were not and there is no record of the dispute. This was done the week of XXXX. I told them I would be following up with the CFPB and they told me go ahead, they do not have to look into factual data.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (CA)

I applied & was approved for XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX in XX/XX/2022. I started employment XX/XX/2022. 
I realize the program was a XXXX time program, due to my circumstances I recently started employment. 
Seeing as I was approved for XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX & received {$32000.00} toward my mortgage, not the maximum amount Why wouldn't I be able to receive additional mortgage assistance, an extension towards the prior XXXX before I started working... 
XXXX thru XX/XX/2022, an additional XXXX XXXX since I didn't receive the maximum amount available? 
Its pretty much impossible for me to make up the difference as I've been without income for over a XXXX. Plus my XXXX XXXX  was the lowest amount awarded even though I had wages to factor in, which was never recalculated towards my claim. I've been struggling XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, contemplating XXXX fighting to succeed to get to this point of loosing my house because the eligibility for XXXX XXXX  XXXX program is a 'XXXX XXXX  XXXX ' which makes no sense especially in my personal unique situation. 
I would GREATLY appreciate the additional money from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX fund to make my mortgage current.

I called and explained that it was late because my daughter had XXXX, and was told the late fee ( also XXXX ) would be refunded.

But my next bill, for XXXX, read : XX/XX/XXXX Payment - {$9.00} XX/XX/XXXX Refund of Late Fees - {$9.00} XX/XX/XXXX Amazon XXXX - {$9.00} XXXX LATE FEE {$19.00} New Statement Balance : {$29.00} When I called, I was told that the refund only applied to my total owed and not my monthly amount due, and so I was technically late because I had not paid the first late fee before XXXX, and that I had erred by making two payments in XXXX, which the system could not handle. After being on hold for a long time, I was then told I would have to pay the XXXX late fee, even though I owed nothing at the point it was assessed!

My credit report has items that have resulted from fraud which I never benefitted from. 
This is a defamation of my character and is incredibly insulting, my rights are being violated which is absolutely distressing. This is already reported to the Federal Trade Commission but it still appears on my report, what a disappointment, the very thing that exists to protect people like me yet nothing is resolved.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Financial Recovery Services, Inc. (OR)

I have no idea who this caller is but I've blocked MULTIPLE numbers from " XXXX XXXX '' all of the employees use alliterations and fake names so another I spoke to was XXXX XXXX  for example. 

They've called from XXXX starting XX/XX/XXXX Then from XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX Then it was XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX Now its XXXX which called today Didn't know who it was other than a " recorded line '' and they refused to say who they were with other than XXXX. I called XXXX times and finally after breaking down and getting upset about the situation did the fourth time they finally say " financial recovery services ''. 

XXXX of them VERY aggressively said " sir, we are a COMPANY '' which doesn't mean anything. I could find no details on the numbers that were calling other than when calling the other phone numbers, the voice clearly being " XXXX XXXX '' on all of the other examples online of calls recorded from those previous numbers. 

Have no idea who these people are, they refuse to tell me and only after I tell them how badly they've stalked me for months do they tell me. I look it up and find that failure to disclose your company is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act listed on their website. 

https : XXXX Specifically ; Section XXXX of the Fdcpa under False or Misleading Representations : " use any other name than the true name of the debt XXXX business, company, or organization '' Bluntly, when I said I didn't know who XXXX was and I needed more clarification, that failed to disclose the true name of their business multiple times on a " recorded line ''. This lead to me feeling harassed and threatened for months as I had unknown calls swarming me. This is illegal given they claim to adhere to the FDCPA but do not disclose the true name of the business which a deceptive practice. 

Lastly, all numbers I've given are not found on " Financial Recovery Services '' website, so ultimately, I still don't know who is calling. If it is XXXX XXXX XXXX, they are violating the law under FDCPA.

Subject : Request to Cease Contact Regarding Alleged Debt Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address an ongoing issue that I have been experiencing concerning the receipt of letters from your office regarding an alleged debt. I would like to inform you that I have never entered into any contractual agreement with your company, and therefore, I do not owe you any debt. Also listed on my credit report twice. 

As a third-party debt collector, it is essential that you understand that I have thoroughly reviewed my financial records and have found no evidence of any outstanding debt owed to your company. I kindly request that you stop calling and mailing me regarding this matter immediately. 

I have taken the time to educate myself about consumer laws and my rights in such situations. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), in order for any alleged debt to be considered valid, there must be a valid signed contract between the debtor and the collector. As I have not signed any contract with your company, it is crystal clear that I do not owe you any debt. 

I kindly request that you respect my rights as a consumer and cease all communication with me in relation to this alleged debt. Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could remove any negative information related to this debt from my credit report, as it is incorrect and misleading. 

Please understand that any further attempts to contact me or any failure to comply with my request will be considered a violation of the FDCPA, and I will not hesitate to take appropriate legal action to protect my rights. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I expect to receive written confirmation from your office within 30 days acknowledging that my request has been honored and that all contact regarding this alleged debt will cease. 

Yours sincerely,
