Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: National Credit Systems,Inc. (TN)

I received approval for Arkansas rental assistance on this full balance of {$2800.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. This check was mailed directly to a landlord ( XXXX ) who quit shortly after/left this company on bad terms!! 

On XX/XX/XXXX The next landlord accused me of stealing an oven ( which was a false accusation ) and then magically my rental account all of a sudden ended up in collections THE SAME MONTH after arguing with the second property XXXX about property she falsely accused me of stealing! 

WHY did XXXX  months pass before I was sent to collections?? IF this was a proper collection-the landland originally handling my eviction process would have turned me in. 

This is company retaliation and illegal to open a collection account against me when I have confirmation that this company did in fact receive a check for the full amount owed! I have attached PROOF with my relief confirmation letter! 

I also attached the proof of this landlord falsely accusing me of theft of property via email and threatening to have me arrested!! She obviously opened a collection account the same month as our negative email exchange!

Issue: Getting a credit card — Problem getting a working replacement card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA)

I had applied for a XXXX credit card with capital one in XXXX, and got approved. They said the card would be sent in around XXXX business days and it was never sent. Few weeks had passed after their promised date and I found time to contact them only around XX/XX/XXXX, since they never contacted me. They said I could try changing the address since the delivery failed and seeing if that would work. I did that and waited another XXXX business days and I contacted them multiple times when again I hadn't received it. And on XXXX XXXX, they tell me the package is lost and they will issue it again. They keep doing this and don't even reach out to check if any delivery has been made, and it's now been over XXXX months since I've ordered the card and not received anything. This affects how I can utlizie my credit and constitutes fraudulent incompetence from Capital One, by not sending the promised credit card.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (VA)

On Monday, XX/XX/XXXX a member of the global fraud services department at American Expressed called me in regards to recent charges that I disputed as fraud. I strongly believe these charges to be fraud as the amount spent was well above anything I have ever spent before. During my phone call the American Express employee called me and said that wether or not these charges were fraud it doesnt matter and he was going to get the FBI involved if I continued to say these charges were fraud. I explained to the employee that I would never spend this money. He stated it doesnt matter, I explained that he was scaring me. He said the only way I wouldnt get in trouble was if I called the XXXX number on the back of my card and said these charges werent fraud. Me being scared and fearing for my life, I immediately called and said I did not make these charges however I am so scared. American Express threatened my freedom as a way to get me to admit to something I did not do. Do not get an American Express card. They are dangerous and scary. They will not stand by you. The anxiety that I have been left with is awful.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score. 

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

My account with EQUIFAX 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 ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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.

EQUIFAX 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

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Agency of Credit Control (CO)

I went to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to get veneers put on my four front teeth. They prepped my teeth and fitted me with temporary veneers ( that are meant to last 2-3 weeks MAX ). I made an appointment for two weeks out and pre-paid for the rest of my procedure. I had previously already paid for the temporary veneers and prep-work. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ended up cancelling my appointment due to COVID. I attempted to reschedule over the next 2-3 weeks and they did not answer their phone regardless of what time/day I called. I went to another dentist who told me if I did not get permanent veneers soon, the prepped teeth will begin to rot and I could lose those teeth completely. I went to a third dentist for a 3rd opinion and he agreed. 

I ended up getting the work done at another dentist ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CO XXXX ) and they completed the work. I paid them {$4500.00} for the work. I attempted to call XXXX XXXX several times to cancel as they were not able to do the work within a reasonable time-frame after payment. They never returned my calls so I had my bank cancel the check I had written to them. 

They never performed the service they are attempting to collect for and delaying treatment ended up costing me more money ( I had to pay more for another dentist to fix their work than I initially would have in the first place ). 

I've attached a credit card statement showing that I paid a different dentist completely ( XXXXXXXX XXXX  ) for this service and that I ended up paying close to {$2000.00} more than I would have had XXXX XXXX honored their side of our agreement to do my dental work. 

This collection company also served me a notice that appeared to be a lawsuit in the state of CO. However, after calling the court system on the notice I was " served '' I learned that no lawsuit has been filed. This is incredibly predatory to have fake lawsuit documentation and brought to my house.
