XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Re : XXXX XXXX XXXX partial account # XXXX  ; XXXX partial account # XXXX Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX This letter is in response to the account being reported currently on my credit report concerning the collection of the above reference dating back to XX/XX/XXXX.

I do not believe I owe what you say I owe therefore I dispute this debt. I am well aware of my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act ( FDCPA ) and my state laws so I hope to save both of us a great deal of time by letting you know that not only do I dispute the validity of this debt, I have also checked with my State Attorney General and verified that the Statue of Limitation for enforcing this type of debt through the courts in XXXX XXXX  has expired. I have attached a copy of my statue limitation that confirms the limitation in XXXX XXXX   is three years. Based on the information reported to all three credit bureaus this account was open on XX/XX/XXXX which will result in this account not only being unverified but also passed the timeframe of statute being open for a total of three years and five months. Therefore, should you decide to pursue this matter in court I intend to inform the court of my dispute of this debt and that the statute of limitations has expired. Documented status reported directly to the credit bureaus states that this account is scheduled to continue on my report until XX/XX/XXXX further more confirming the statute of limitation in XXXX XXXX of three years. A copy of credit report is attached.

This letter is a formal notification that I consider this matter closed and demand that you or anyone affiliated with your company, as well as any collection agency attached to this un-validate account be removed from all credit bureaus. I look forward to you contacting me in writing to advise me that your debt collection efforts are being terminated or that you or the creditor are taking specific actions allowed by the FDCPA or my state laws.

Be advised that I consider any contact not in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act a serious violation to my State Attorney General, to The Federal Trade Commission and, if necessary, take whatever legal action is necessary to protect myself.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (OR)

XXXX 's store credit card by XXXX XXXX. I paid my bill online on XX/XX/XXXX before XXXX. I have an email received at XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. It was due XX/XX/XXXX. They didn't post it until XX/XX/XXXX and then charged me a late fee. Because I paid the full balance as shown on my account as due, I didn't look for any further emails ( in my junk mail for instance ) and so didn't get the late fee bills. I looked at all my credit accounts this week and discovered they have charged me {$92.00} in late fees and interest because of this. I paid the bill and called them to close the account. They offered to reverse only one fee only if I kept my account open. I do not work with fraudulent lenders. They followed up my complaint by stating I still owed {$92.00} and they are contacting the credit reporting agency. 
" Per your request, we have already closed your account on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Your current balance is {$92.00} and this information will be provided to the national credit reporting agencies. We will continue to send monthly billing statements on any remaining balance until it is paid in full. ''

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Paramount Recovery Systems, L.P. (TX)

On XX/XX/XXXX, as I checked my XXXX XXXX account, I noticed that a 'derogatory remark ' was added to my credit reports from XXXX and XXXX . The collection agency that placed the 'derogatory remark ' on my credit reports is Paramount Recovery, which is located at XXXX XXXX XXXX. , XXXX XXXX, XXXX , TX XXXX. I immediately sent a debt validation letter ( certified mail with return receipt ) to Paramount Recovery requesting validation of the debt as well as HIPPA authorization due to this being an alleged medical debt. Paramount Recovery acknowledged receipt of my debt validation letter by signing the certified mail return receipt ( green card ) and dating it for XX/XX/XXXX. The representative from Paramount Recovery who signed the certified mail return receipt was " XXXX XXXX. '' From XX/XX/XXXX until present, I haven't received any communication from Paramount Recovery regarding my debt validation letter or have received any of the requested information stated in my debt validation letter. Paramount Recovery did temporarily delete the 'derogatory remark ' from both credit reports ( XXXX and XXXX ), but reinserted the 'derogatory remark ' a few days later. I have NEVER received any proper/prior written notification from Paramount Recovery regarding this account. They just one day decided to insert this 'derogatory remark. ' Also, they have placed this 'derogatory remark ' on my credit reports without any account number from the original creditor.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: Servis One, Inc., Titusville, PA Branch (FL)

OUr company borrowed a loan from the hardmoney lender XXXX XXXX for {$150000.00}. The loan rate was 12 %. The loan was foreclosed on because they did not continue the direct charge to the account provided. Upon realizing that the payments were delinquent, we asked them to allow us to catch up. They declined and foreclosed on us. We sold the house. Upon closing they charged us an additional 15 %. They instructed our buyer not to pay any additional funds. They would not close unless we pay the additional 15 %. 
According to florida statute 687 the limit total rate is 18 %. We were already paying 12 % and then we had to add another 15 %. Also the law states that 5 % is the maximum late fee so the 15 % additional charge is unfair. 
We had to agree to the rate because we would have lost the seller. They also would not close unless we signed documents agreeing to these terms. The closing statement sent to us before closing did not include these fees. The final closing statement adjusted the amounts. We were unaware of the hike in fees until then. There was so much deceit.

Company: Overland Bond & Investment Corporation (IL)

I opened a car loan with Overland Bond in XX/XX/2016. I have never been 30 days late with this company and they are violating my rights as a consumer according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I temporarily lost my income which caused me to make my car payment 2 weeks late, however I called in and made an arrangement with the Overland Bond and paid them {$200.00} towards the balance. This payment arrangement was supposed to keep my account current and stop any further collection activity or negative reporting towards my credit. After making my arrangement and paying {$200.00} Overland Bond repossessed my car! I repeat I was never even 30 days late!! Once I made my full payment my car was still not returned and " reactivated '' so that I could drive it. I've read customer reviews on this company and see that I'm not the only customer experiencing this. This company is repossessing vehicles and ruining their customers credit for being 2 weeks late on their payments. This company has reported a repossession and 30 day on my credit and has totally destroyed my credit score causing me to lose -166 pts to my score. I filed a complaint about the reporting and the credit bureaus deleted the reporting only to have Overland Bond illegally add this inaccurate reporting back to my credit without notice. According to FCRA I am supposed to be notified within 5 days of a company adding any negative information that was previously deleted back to my profile, this company has failed to do so! My rights are being completely violated and I am extremely upset! This company has illegal practices and are taking advantage of their consumers. Please help me to have this inaccurate information deleted from my credit profile and corrected with this company. I hope that my experience will help other consumers of Overland Bond from experiencing what I've been through.

I asked how I am turned to collection, when I never received a mailed bill, e mailed bill or call from XXXX. The agent from XXXX XXXX noted, for some reason, there was a block on my account, which may explain lack of billing I am very conscious of my credit rating, and am never late with a payment. This has trashed my credit from XXXX down to XXXX. I was looking to apply for a mortgage, and now can not, due to this. I have e mailed XXXX but gotten no reply. I can not call, because when i do, it goes direct to " contact XXXX XXXX regarding your account '' I feel sending me to collection, over a bill I did not get, is a violation.
