Product: Debt collection — Payday loan
Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Global Recovery Group (NH)

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received back to back calls from ( XXXX ) XXXX & one call to my home. Voicemail was left by XXXX, stating that needed to verify address & employer so they could process their claim against me. Threatened to contact my references. Was told I could call ( XXXX ) XXXX, no other information was given. I could on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX & was told that they, Global Recovery Group, were trying collect on a Payday loan that I " applied '' for online & " received '' from XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$450.00} back on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I informed that that I never took out such a loan & never heard of this company. Insisted that because they have my email address that I did do it & just do n't remember the name because the online site was just how I applied. They also know my bank account number which has me nervous. Was given a website, openconsumer.info that allowed me to access my account with them using my claim # XXXX. It shows my SS # and address, but no date of birth or employer. it has a tab to view documents but no documents are there. I faxed bank statement with just deposits visible to prove no deposits were made in that amount at the time they say I took out such loan. I asked for verbal & written confirmation that the matter was resolved & was told that they could not do that. When I explained that all debts paid get proof, I was told I was being too technical. The website now shows inactive with a balance of {$620.00}. This has all the signs of a scam/fraud. The XXXX XXXX is warning consumers to be aware of scam debt collectors operating into south Louisiana. 

The XXXX has recently received several calls from concerned residents concerning at least XXXX variations of this type of scam over the last two weeks. 

The first scam involves scammers calling consumers and informing them they would be arrested by local law enforcement in the immediate future if they did not immediately remit payment for a payday loan they took out months or even years prior. 

In most cases, residents have never even taken out these loans, but the XXXX has received reports of people paying XXXX to avoid the possibility of arrest. 

These callers are also persistent and violate state and federal phone collection laws by calling at all hours of the day and night to home, cell and work numbers. 

Scammers do this in order to either annoy residents at home or embarrass innocent employees at their work place in order to pressure them into paying in order to stop the harassment and threat of possible job loss.

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

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  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 in 60 days 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. 


XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  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 XXXX

Issue: Can't stop charges to bank account — 
Company: ONEMAIN FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, LLC. (PA)

I obtained a loan from Springleaf Financial 's ( now OneMain ) branch in XXXX, Pennsylvania. At the time the loan was made, I provided the lender with a routing number and checking account number from which to withdraw the monthly payment. 

I recently changed banks. Well before XX/XX/XXXX 's scheduled withdrawal, I logged into OneMain 's website and submitted a new routine number and account number corresponding to the new checking account. I have since logged back into the website to verify that the new account information ( XXXX ) is displayed as the payment account. 

Nevertheless, OneMain has made 2 attempts in XXXX to withdraw the payments from the old account at XXXX. XXXX refused to honor both drafts, and charged me {$35.00} for each dishonored draft. 

Calls to both the OneMain branch and web support center did not provide an explanation for the unauthorized drafts against the old account.

Be advised this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( 8 ), stating your claim is disputed, and debt validation is requested.

This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above-named Title and Section. I respectfully request your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. 
At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the XXXX major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, or XXXX ), this action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client for the following : Violation of the FCRA Violation of the FDCPA Defamation of Character If your offices are able to provide the proper documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information, during which time all collection activity must cease and desist.

( OPTIONAL CEASE & DESIST ) I would also like to request, in writing, that your offices make no further telephone contact to my home or place of employment.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: Commonwealth Financial Systems, Inc. (CA)

I submitted a previous case XXXX for reference. CommonWealth Financial Systems report XXXX derogatory comments on my consumer credit profile with XXXX and XXXX. I initiated a complaint as I have never received any written or prior notification from them. CFS then responded to my complaint stating they needed an account number. As I never received a notice from them, I did not know what account number to reference. I finally received a notice dated XX/XX/XXXX, received XX/XX/XXXX stating that I owed for a medical debt in the amount of {$270.00} to the original creditor of XXXX. Since CFS refused to verify the debt, I contacted XXXX by phone and spoke to representative XXXX today, XX/XX/2017. She could not verify the account numbers provided from CFS 's notice, nor look up any outstanding debt based on my name or Social Security number. 

Commonwealth Financial Systems has failed to abide by law with mandatory notices and placing the derogatory remarks on my credit profile. This complaint is to be served to them as my official request in writing to provide written verification of the debt, which includes the original creditor 's name, address, and phone number and services provided so that I might verify their claim. As I was unable to verify it over the phone provided by the actual original creditor, I am interested to see what documentation will be provided. 

If supporting documentation is not sent rectifying the discrepancy above, I will add fraud to my claim when I file my lawsuit.
