Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: TransferWise Ltd (CA)

Hello, On XX/XX/2023, we transferred {$1800.00} USD to XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX using Wise ( https : //wise.com/us/ ). We paid in USD and Wise converted the amount to XXXX ( {$1500.00} XXXX XXXX since XXXX XXXX is located in the XXXX XXXX. 

We followed up with XXXXXXXX XXXX  immediately after sending the payment via Wise and for several weeks afterwards. She did not receive our payment. She contacted Wise several times and Wise stated she they were unable to talk to her or assist her since she is not the sender. XXXX also worked with her bank and they confirmed our payment was not received. She has bank statements to show the payment was never received. 

XXXX was advised by her bank that we ( the sender ) needed to recall our funds to ensure we did not lose the money. We recalled the funds and received the money back in our bank. However, Wise is now saying we recalled the money from them and we owe the amount back to them. 

I do not believe we owe this money to Wise because the service they provide was not fulfilled. I do know where they transferred our payment to but it was not the intended recipient. We have been working with Wise customer support since early XXXX and they took weeks to investigate and trace this issue with the recipient 's bank. Wise has completed the trace and said : Regarding your recent error request and claim, we appreciate your patience. 
Weve finished investigating to determine whether the funds were completed by Wise and sent to the recipient 's bank account. What weve found from the trace is that the funds were completed and sent to them in XXXX, but the recipient 's bank converted them to USD. You have the right to request any documents weve relied on in our investigation to come to this conclusion. We have requested documents from the investigation and have received nothing. We simply do not agree with the conclusion to their investigation because the recipient never received our payment and has the bank statement to provide it. 

Wise has threatened collection and legal action to us several times. We dont know what else to do and any help you can provide would be much appreciated. This is a lot of money and we do not believe we should have to pay Wise since our payment never reached the recipient. Please let me know if you need any additional documentation. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (VA)

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), the major credit bureaus are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on my credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. I demanded to see by Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) from XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX what they have in their possesion on file of the derogatory accounts listed on my credit report as well as the unauthorized inquiries with no success. All three credit bureaus failed to positively verify by physical verification as requested by me on several EVERY SINGLE MONTH for these accounts that has hurt my ability to obtain credit. I repetitiously dispute Under the FCRA that unverified accounts must be removed if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof. My requests have gone ignored and per FCRA you must remove any and all of the accounts that can not be physically verified. Equifax, XXXX, nor XXXX  have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA They are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. I informed all three major credit bureaus that The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me for negligent noncompliance ( Section 617 ) if the credit reporting agencies fail to comply. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA. In the results of their first investigation and subsequently in their re-investigation, they stated in writing that the accounts were verified that these items are being reported correctly. When I asked Who verified these accounts and for physical proof? XXXX, Equifax, or XXXX have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore they have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA All major credit bureaus are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

No contract Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) allows CRAs to furnish consumer reports in accord with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. Late payment reported Negatively impacted Issue not resolved after multi attempts Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting The Congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. ( 2 ) An elaborate mechanism has been developed for investigating and evaluating the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and general reputation of consumers. ( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers. ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. Gap a ) Abusive practices There is abundant evidence of the use of abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices by many debt collectors. Abusive debt collection practices contribute to the number of personal bankruptcies, to marital instability, to the loss of jobs, and to invasions of individual privacy. ( b ) Inadequacy of laws Existing laws and procedures for redressing these injuries are inadequate to protect consumers. ( c ) Available non-abusive collection methods Means other than misrepresentation or other abusive debt collection practices are available for the effective collection of debts. ( d ) Interstate commerce Abusive debt collection practices are carried on to a substantial extent in interstate commerce and through means and instrumentalities of such commerce. Even where abusive debt collection practices are purely intrastate in character, they nevertheless directly affect interstate commerce. ( e ) Purposes It is the purpose of this subchapter to eliminate abusive debt collection practices by debt collectors, to insure that those debt collectors who refrain from using abusive debt collection practices are not competitively disadvantaged, and to promote consistent State action to protect consumers against debt collection abuses. Please review I have not supplied proof under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, Engelhardt v. Gravens ( m 281 SW 715,719, I presume that no proof of the alleged! debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact therefor exists.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: ECMC GROUP, INC. (GA)

Thank you for FINALLY answering " yes '' and confirming that you did in fact contact people, including my family and friends while I and ECMC were in communication with each other about my loan account. These straightforward answers were not in the initial complaint responses. 

In speaking with a specialist at CFPB yesterday who assisted with this case, can you tell me what the purpose was for ECMC to contact other people while they were directly speaking to me. Federal law does not force you to call other people if I am in direct contact with you. Federal law allows you to contact other people if you can not get into contact with me ; which as we have proven you were in direct contact with me all along. You stated that " ECMC did pursue leads including attempting phone contact using phone numbers learned during skip-tracing and believed to be associated with you... [ but that ] ECMC did not discuss your defaulted student loan debt with any person other than you. '' If you were directly in contact with me when you called these other people, and your call was not to discuss my loan with anyone else as you stated, then why did you make these calls in the first place? Please give a specific answer and not the " required by federal law '' answer as that idea has proven false.

Company: Diversified Consultants, Inc. (CO)

Back in XXXX of 2017 I noticed something on my credit report from Diversified Consults in the amount of XXXX . I reached out to them by letter and they replied that the debt was for a XXXX account I supposedly had. I requested the debt be verified with a signed contract, a receipt, anything besides this company claiming I owe it. They replied with the same letter showing my name, an amount and XXXX name. I have subsequently requested this debt be verified in XX/XX/XXXX and again in XX/XX/XXXX. They have not verified the debt and continue to re-report onto my credit report every month, gaming my credit score. Not only is this an unverified debt, it is predatory collection as they know its not a valid debt and continue to report false and misleading information on my credit report.

XXXX sent me numerous written warnings about an amount they claimed I owed that was not owed. I attempted to rectify this with them on multiple ocassions, and they remained unhelpful. This has now been sent to collections, and my credit has already been dinged. This sounds like a common illegal practice by this company, as there are class-action lawsuits in multiple states against them. I have joined the class-action suit in my state of Colorado.
