On XX/XX/XXXX, I checked my bank account as I prepared to pay my daughter 's college fees. I saw that the amount of {$6900.00} had been withdrawn from my bank account without my authorization. The transaction description said XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I called the number. It was a Wells Fargo number that would only be answered on weekdays. When I tried to report the fraudulent transaction to the bank, they did not create a claim. The fraud department put me through to the claims department. The claims department informed to that I needed to call the number because they could not create a claim without a merchant being listed. I explained to them that if there was no merchant listed that the bank needed to return the funds to my account since I did not authorize the transaction. I was told to call the XXXX XXXX XXXX number to receive further assistance. In addition, there is no option for me to dispute this transaction in my online banking account. When I tried to create a dispute this transaction was not listed. 
I am very disappointed in Wells Fargo and now understand how the victims of their fraudulent scandals in the past felt when bullied by this institution.

Company: Consumer Collection Management. Inc (MO)

This company ( Consumer Collection MN ) ( Account # XXXX ) which I hold No Contract with nor have received services from is a 3rd party agency who has no right to collect anything from the alleged debtor since there is no way they can prove they were on any original contract. 73 Amjur, 2nd, Section 90. You have no right to  subrogate ( substitute ) yourself into a contract. Whether it be by purchase, assignment, transfer, or trade. If you bought the debt you did it on your own behalf. Not at the request of any alleged debtor, and therefore are a stranger to the transaction ( voluntary payee ). Reporting of this debt is a violation of the FCRA and the FDCPA.

Ive conducted some research on this company and in the state of Missouri this company is not Licensed, Bonded, and does not have a Certificate of Authority to collect in the state of Missouri. This is against the state and federal laws. According to the FDCPA : Under the Act, a debt collector communicating with persons other than the consumer for the purpose of acquiring location information about the consumer shall not : use any language or symbol on any envelope or in the contents of any communication effected by the mails or telegram that indicates that the debt collector is in the debt collection business or that the communication relates to the collection of a debt ; 28. The Missouri Division of Finance is statutorily charged with the licensing, supervision and regulation of state-chartered financial institutions and enterprises.

Rescission of Contract. Refused for a cause without dishonur. I hereby rescind my signature and do not consent to this contract with your corporate office. 
Required Proof of Claim I would be happy to settle any financial obligation I might lawfully have to you, as soon as I have received proof by way of the following Documentation : against me, a Flesh and Blood Woman with my God Given name ( XXXX XXXX : House of XXXX XXXX. 
1. Validation of the debt ( i.e. the actual accounting showing <house of XXXX : XXXX> real losses, if any ) ; 2.

A copy of the original contract signed by both parties and therefore binding both parties to the agreement. 

They are in Breach of Contract by violating the Arbitration Clause. Once a company charges off the account and sends it to a collection company they are in breach of their own contract. This is against the FCRA.

The consumer reporting agencies ( CRA ) continued to report inaccurate and inconsistent information on my credit report. I have disputed these accounts for the past 60 days with the original creditors and have received few followups with the creditors but CRA 'S are inconsistent in verifying this information. All these agencies should be reporting same information and investigate disputes that the consumer requested, instead they continue to resolve disputes without providing me with the methods use to verify the information. I have send letters with all documentation needed but they keep saying investigation still in progress. I have several accounts that says resolved but the status was never updated and unknown addresses and variations of my name continue to be added on my report, after I disputed that information and sent a valid identification, SSN and utility bill to verify my identity. As a victim of identity theft, I request you do a thorough investigation and provide with information requested.
