Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (TN)

XX/XX/XXXX : I wrote a letter requesting validation for the debt in the amount of {$3900.00} Midland Credit Management claims I owe them along with the contract bearing my signature showing that I had ( or ever have had ) a contractual agreement to pay them. I, also, informed them that if they were unable to provide validation, they were in violation of FCRA & FDCPA and therefore must request all credit reporting agencies delete their entry from my credit report. I informed them that failure to respond in 30 days of receipt of this letter could result in small claims legal action at my local venue. 

Midland Credit Management did not respond to this letter. Instead, they sent another bill attempting to collect the debt from me the following month. 

XX/XX/XXXX : As a courtesy, I sent a follow up letter reminding them that by not responding in a timely manner, they had violated federal law and failed to provide any viable evidence bearing my signature to show the debt was reporting accurately. I informed them that since they had violated federal law by not properly investigating in a timely manner, they must now remove the debt from my credit report. 

XXXX XXXX : I received a response from Midland Credit Management stating that they had conducted an investigation and their records were accurate, but they didn't provide any documentation that proves they did a complete investigation or contracts with my signature that proves I owe them. 

Furthermore, Midland Credit Management is reporting the open date as XX/XX/XXXX but they didn't show up on my credit report until months later so they are indeed reporting inaccurate information along with being unable to provide contracts between them and me with my signature. 

I have asked Midland Credit Management twice to remove the debt from my credit report if they are unable to validate the debt or are reporting inaccurately and they have not.

Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP INC (CA)

I applied for a new account with Flagstar Bank on XX/XX/2024 to take advantage of their advertised 5.55 % apy promotional rate. When I reviewed my first statement, I realized that I was only getting 2 % apy. I tried using their online chat several times during normal business hours, but replies that it was unavailable. I sent a secure email on XX/XX/XXXX inquiring about the issue. Since then, my husband and I have both called multiple times to request that the 5.55 % apy be applied and backdated to the account opening date. The bank has been unable to resolve this and keeps telling us that they're backed up and to call back later, or promised to call us back and never does. Now I'm trying to transfer my money back out and am unable to do so. Setting up an external transfer through Flagstar 's website fails, with an error message that the text validation code for my external account is incorrect. When trying to set it up for my external account to pull the money from Flagstar, that also fails, saying that the Flagstar account type doesn't allow it. Today, XX/XX/2024, I was escalated to XXXX XXXX in the president 's office to explain why Flagstar is unwilling or unable to do an ACH or wire transfer of my balance to an external bank. She said she would call me back, after she is able to find out about Flagstar 's transfer procedures, but that it might take several days and I should be patient.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

My account with 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 XXXX to XX/XX/year> 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 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!
