Company: Conn's, Inc. (TX)

In XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Conn’s customer service to inquire what my payoff amount would be. I was told that my balance was XXXX. I asked if that was the amount I needdd to pay to close my account, and I was told that was correct. I paid the amount within a week.  6 months later in XX/XX/XXXX, I receive a promotional flier from Conn’s that also had in the upper corner a note that said Current Balance : XXXX(this amount may be off by a few dollars).  I contacted Conn’s and asked why the flyer showed I had a balance. I was told that I did not pay my balance before the promotional period was up. I explained that amount I paid was given to me by their customer service rep and that was the amount I paid. They put in a ticket and the manager asked that I call back in one week. I called back about two weeks later spoke to the manager and she told me that the balance was being written off and not to worry.  In XX/XX/XXXX, I start to receive text message and emails stating that I missed a payment. I have not charged anything new so I contact Conn’s to see what is going on. I spoke to customer service and they say they see where the balance was requested to be written off and will put in a ticket.  I have called every week since, and today I am told that they are not going to write it off or do anything about it. The representative is now stating that they have no records of any of the conversations not even the conversations with the manager.

I have made several attempts to get this matter resloved with Transunion. I have supplied ample proof of my Information being compromised via the XXXX hack ( XXXX ), Government hack ( XXXX photo provide in CFPB complaint number XXXX ). You added a fraud Alert but are refusing to vaildate the XXXX account. Im sure you know, under FDCPA Section 809 ( b ), you are not allowed to pursue collection activity until the debt is validated. You should be made aware that in XXXX XXXX, Plaintiff, vs. DIEM CORPORATION, No. XXXX XXXX UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA, XXXX, the courts ruled that reporting a collection account indeed is considered collection activity. Your fraud alerts do not work at all. I attempted to place a Credit Freeze on my account and was unble to. You are paid everytime someone runs someones credit so your only intrest is your bottom line. You have had 180 days to investigate this and still cant come up with the correct solution. Transunion cant vaildate this debut because the company is unable to validate this debut. This accoun should be remove within 3 business days. This violates the Texas Fair Debut collection practices act, established for this reason.Im sure your legal staff will agree that non-compliance with this request could put your company in serious legal trouble with the FTC and other state or federal agencies. Under the FCRA and the FDCPA, each violation is subject to a {$1000.00} fine, payable to me.

Company: Google Compare Credit Cards Inc. (NY)

Fake lawyer instructed me to purchase {$2000.00} ( 4x {$500.00} ) cards on XX/XX/18 to send him codes which he will then convert to cash to use for bail money : my grandson being XXXX. Once I determined scam and refused to send I was left with uncashed/unredeemed cards- Unable to use. Google refuses to redeem or cash, restricted use to only digital games/movies and can not be used for Google hardware. As an XXXX year old Senior can not use {$2000.00} for digital games The Google play cards thus became a vehicle to laundering money by fraudsters and render Google an ac cessory to scam by refusing to cash or buy back from owner.

Have contacted Google Play CS onXX/XX/XXXX- thjey are totally inflexible about buying back cards or exchanging for something of value.

This complaint is for XXXX XXXX being a slum lord, which has cost me nearly a million dollars on their behalf, to do repairs to a house they claim to own ( although I learned they actually illegally foreclosed on it. ) They have repeatedly tried to illegally evict me from this house, and for 4 years have ignored their management responsibilities as a landlord, have not honored my lease ( contract ), and have forced me a tenant to foot their nearly 7 figure repair bill.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I lost {$60.00} to an online scammer who was supposed to provide a product. I did not feel safe using XXXX or XXXX to buy it, & the XXXX he created wouldnt allow me to send money that way, so I thought a bank transfer would be safe, legit & protected. The only way to easily transfer money through your bank is to do it through XXXX. So I transferred the money that way, & as I feared, was never given the product, never got a response back, & his account shut down. So I go back to XXXX to get my money back & explain what happened. Come to find out you cant cancel XXXX payments if the receipient already has an account. But that is the ultimate scammers dream platform! Victims feel safe to transfer the money because its through their trusted bank, but then XXXX offers no protection so the frauds & scammers win each and every time. Millions are lost to frauds & scammers everyday & this company is aiding the criminals by giving them the trusted platform to make it happen. XXXX is truly taking advantage of the trust weve all established for our banks. This is preposterous that theyre even partnered with all the most reputable banks. When will good stop being victimized by not only individual scammers, but big, corrupt companies who have no moral ethics?
