These were the original terms : '' Earn an extra 10 % Cashback Bonus on up to {$10000.00} of in-store purchases when you use your Discover card with XXXX now through XXXX XXXX, 2015. Rewards earned are in addition to your standard rewards and are added to your Cashback Bonus account within XXXX billing periods.

Product: Debt collection — Medical
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: United Collection Bureau, Inc. (MD)

I received a debt settlement letter from a collection agency for a medical bill. The last day to pay the settlement amount is on XXXX/XXXX/2016 ; today is XXXX/XXXX/2016. I called today to pay the debt in full, but was told that the bill was sent to their attorney 's office and the collection agency could not talk to me or receive a payment from me. I was told that if the collection agency spoke with me, that it would be against the law. The letter mailed did not mention anything about the account being sent to an attorney 's office, if contact was not made. I tried to inform the collection agency about the settlement letter received, but again I was told that they could not talk to me. I then spoke to someone in their attorney 's office and was told that the settlement offer ( which expires tomorrow ) will not be honored because the bill was now in the attorney 's office. I was told to call back on XXXX/XXXX/2016 at noon and the supervisor ( who was not in at the time of my call ) will make a decision whether to honor the settlement price, which was unlikely. I even faxed a copy of the settlement letter as proof, because the attorney 's office did not have it.

Company: BB&T CORPORATION (NC)

I was charged a overdraft fee of {$36.00} by BBT Bank when my available balance was more that the amounted debited from my account. My posted balance was not so that is why the overdraft fee was charged according to BBT. However had I used my debit card for the same amount it would have been covered and NO overdraft fee. This is just a way for BBT to make extra money off consumers. What is really crazy is I made my deposit in cash at their ATM at XXXX and that was to late for them to post CASH to my account but it was showing in my available balance. Every other bank if you make a cash deposit anytime it is posted and available to use. This is totally just away for big bank to make extra money of the consumer.

I supposedly signed up for a credit card in XXXX  called XXXX. I NEVER DID. I have been trying to get this wiped from my credit report for years now and each time the case gets closed with the card company in favor. The fact of the matter is this .... I spoke to XXXX " Fraud Investigation '' and they confirmed that this card was NEVER received NOR was it EVER used. The balance they are trying to collect from me is completely unethical and is supposedly XXXX XXXX fees!!! If I never received the card, HOW AM I LIABLE?! Not to mention that I never signed up for it to begin with. I can't get TransUnion to resolve this for me as the card company keeps saying I owe and that XXXX XXXX XXXX  is now the collector for this account which makes no sense at all seeing as though THIS IS COMPLETELY FRAUDULENT IN EVERY WAY. Beware of XXXX. They will ruin your credit report and you'll never get a resolution.

I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted account, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that these accounts are late though your company claims to have verified these Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Experian ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question.
