Issue: Problem with a purchase or transfer — Card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase or transfer
Company: Blackhawk Network Holdings Inc. (TN)

I purchased a pre-paid debit card from giftcards.com ( part of the Blackhawk Network ) on XXXX  loaded with {$500.00}. On X/X/2017, I took the card to XXXX and used it to pay a bill. The bill was for {$5000.00}, so I had to split the payment. The bill pay did n't go through due to a technical issue, and the full amount was refunded to the pre-paid debit. I tried to use the card several days later after the amount showed up on the card ( per giftcards.com 's online balance checker ), but it was declined. I called customer service on X/X/2017 to see why this happened, and they told me that they would look into the incident ( ticket number XXXX ) and get back to me in one to two business days. I called giftcards.com again on X/XX/2017 to inquire about the status, and was told that they had stopped working on the ticket, but did n't tell me. I spoke to several people including the supervisor, and they repeatedly told me to resolve it with XXXX, even while admitting that they were holding my money - XXXX does not have it.

Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (AZ)

Here is the letter I sent the collections agency. It describes the situation well. 
XX/XX/XXXX REGISTERED MAIL Transworld Sys XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX Dear Sir or Madam, Today I was reviewing my credit report and I learned your agency filed XXXX collections on my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX. At no time did I receive anything from your company stating that a collection action had been filed nor have I been given an opportunity to determine if these debts were legitimate before you placed them on my credit report. 

In researching these bills I have discovered that these collections were sent to you by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX a billing company for XXXX XXXX XXXX, an in-network XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite a date of service XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to bill my insurance until after this account was assigned to your agency despite being given the correct billing information many months earlier. 

It appears that shortly after this account was sent to your company XXXX XXXX finally billed my insurer and was sent payment. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, my health insurance company sent XXXX XXXX full payment for all services rendered under all three bills. Under the contract XXXX has with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX he has agreed to accept a discounted amount from members of the network, he was paid that rate in compliance with the contract however your company is attempting to collect the difference between the contracted amount and the amount billed. Your company clearly is aware of these payments because you reflect the updated balance on my credit report, this demonstrates your companies complicity in attempting to collect a debt you are not entitled to. 

XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX have been paid all amounts legally due them under the in-network contract he signed, neither your company nor any other party is entitled to collect any further amount. There is no basis for this collection action whatsoever. I demand you cease all efforts to collect and remove all derogatory information from my credit report immediately. Failing to do so will result in a complaint being filed with the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau. 

I have enclosed the explanation of benefits forms providing evidence that these bills have in fact been paid, had XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX properly billed the insurer they would have been paid within 30 days of the services being rendered like every other party that provided service during this admission. 

Any correspondence regarding this matter must be done in writing. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Transworld is a record keeper for XXXX loans but I asked on XXXX/XXXX/16 and XXXX/XXXX/16 for proof of debt but I never received it and now Transworld will send this debt to a law firm. It is illegal to do this because I have asked several times for proof of debt, the only item I ever received was a promissary note with XXXX XXXX XXXX on it. No mention of XXXX or Transworld, I want all of the XXXX loans forgiven due to the company violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I need this company investigated because XXXX will keep trying to sue on this debt even though they do not have proof that they own the debt, they offered to settle the debt for XXXX % which is not something I will do.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

What Happened : I have repeatedly sent payments to Discover for my account ending in XXXX via registered mail with XXXX, and XXXX has confirmed delivery to the address provided by XXXX. Despite this, XXXX continues to report my payments as late, which is inaccurate and in violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I have contacted Discovers customer service multiple times, where I was given different addresses for payment submission, yet XXXX either claims they have not received the payments or does not acknowledge receipt. 

In addition to these issues, I am opting out of having my credit card utilization reported to the credit bureaus. Despite my right to opt out, as provided under relevant privacy laws, XXXX has continued to report this information without my consent. Furthermore, I do not receive a monthly privacy statement from XXXX, which is required to inform me of my rights and options regarding the reporting of my personal information. 

Applicable Laws : Discovers actions violate several federal laws and regulations : 15 U.S.C. 1681s2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : This statute mandates that furnishers of information must report accurate information to credit reporting agencies. Discovers continued reporting of my payments as late, despite confirmation of payment receipt, is a clear violation.

15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) : This requires credit reporting agencies to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in the information reported. Discovers failure to update the payment status accurately reflects non-compliance with this requirement.

12 CFR 1022.42 : This regulation demands accuracy in the information provided to consumer reporting agencies. Discovers inaccurate reporting of my payment status violates this regulation.

12 CFR Part 1016 ( Regulation P ) : This regulation governs the treatment of nonpublic personal information by financial institutions, requiring them to provide a privacy notice. XXXX has failed to provide me with a monthly privacy statement, which is required to allow me to opt out of certain types of information reporting. 
15 U.S.C. 6802 ( Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ) : This law requires financial institutions to provide customers with a privacy notice that explains their information-sharing practices and allows customers to opt out of certain types of information sharing. XXXX has not provided me with the required privacy notices, nor have they honored my right to opt out of reporting my credit card utilization.

15 U.S.C. 1681n ( a ) : Under this statute, any entity that willfully fails to comply with the FCRA is liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per violation. Discovers continuous misreporting of late payments, despite evidence of timely payment, and their failure to provide a privacy statement, constitute willful non-compliance.

Issue: Communication tactics — Called after sent written cease of comm
Company: Convergent Resources, Inc. (FL)

Convergent Outsourcing XXXX continues ( for nearly five months ) to use an automated dialer to call my office telephone number. What 's more, when I have called their number to ask them to cease the phone calls, they have told me that they are not even trying to reach me. I can not imagine what harassment I would endure if they actually thought that I owed them money. 
I have called them on numerous occasions, requesting that they stop calling me with their response being that my number is on their blocked list. I have registered my phone number on their " Do Not Call List '' on two occasions with no results whatsoever. Convergent 's website states that calls should cease within 48 hours, but almost two weeks after my first request, I still receive several calls a week from them. 
It is utterly ridiculous that a company can interrupt my work day approximately 50 times, with phone calls and messages not meant for me, and smugly claim that there is nothing more they can do about it.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

My account with TransUnion was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

TransUnion Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

On XX/XX/year>, I fully paid off a debt that had been transferred to a collection agency by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. It is important to note that the debt was sold to the collection agency without my consent, which I believe is a violation of my rights as a consumer. After paying off the debt in full, the collection agency assured me that the charge-off status would be removed from my credit report with all three major credit bureaus ( XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX ) XXXX 

However, despite their promise, the charge-off remains on my credit reports, negatively affecting my credit score. I have contacted the collection agency and the credit bureaus multiple times since then to have the charge-off removed, but no action has been taken to correct this inaccurate information. 

The original creditor was XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, but they transferred the debt to a collection agency without notifying or obtaining my consent. I have attached proof of payment and correspondence with the collection agency confirming the debt was paid in full. Despite the debt being settled, the charge-off remains on my credit report, and I am requesting that it be removed immediately as it is causing unnecessary harm to my credit profile. 

*Dates Involved : * - Date of full payment : XX/XX/year> - Date when the charge-off was supposed to be removed : immediately paid *Actions Taken by Companies : * - The collection agency promised to remove the charge-off but failed to do so. 
- I have contacted XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX regarding this issue, but they have not removed the incorrect information from my credit report. 

*Relevant Consumer Protection Law : * Under the *Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) *, consumers are protected from unfair debt collection practices, including the unauthorized sale of debt. The sale of my debt to a collection agency without my consent could be a violation of this federal law, particularly if I was not properly notified. I request that the charge-off be removed from my credit reports with XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX as soon as possible, and that my rights as a consumer be fully respected.
