Product: Debt collection — Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: PMT Solutions, LLC. (TX)

PMT Solutions is an unethical, very unprofessional organization. I called to find out why they were sending me bills that were grossly inflated -with predatory feeds attached. Also, they said lost my letter to them asking them to send me a fair bill -minus the predatory fees. Further, I sent a {$15.00} money order and said apply this to any basic fees or charges that I may owe-but, again, my having been in the hospital with an overnight stay due to a XXXX-I was concerned with this bill and called to understand and resolve it as soon as I got out of the hospital and recovered. I asked why I had these excessive charges ; and, why am I still getting charges-even after I called to pay and resolve it and asked for line by line -item by item research. 

Worse, PMT lost the {$15.00} money order that I sent in good faith with the letter requesting the exorbatant fees be removed! They actually lost the money order -did not offer to research and follow-up and hung up on me 3 times when I attempted to call back to ask for a manager to assist with resolutions. I was sent back and forth between XXXX companies and finally I became aware that PMT solutions has the ability to remove the excessive and predatory fees so that I can pay the base charges-fair and square. They simply refuse to be fair or ethical. For example on a charge that is {$21.00} a {$35.00} fee was added. This was done repeatedly even for charges under $ 7- a {$35.00} fee was added. This is by far predatory and unethical. They are unprofessional, rude and it is impossible to get fair resolve. I am certain that other consumers are being treated the same or worse. Please firmly address and stop them/this.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

I called both agencies and didn't get any resolution. The bank the funds were transferred to said somebody called saying they were me and to transfer the money from my account at the other bank.

In a three-way call, I was told by the receiving bank that they would look into it but they don't seem too interested in doing anything about it. What can I do to get this resolved?

Company: Velocity Portfolio Group (IL)

I would like to file complaint against XXXX and XXXX XXXX. This is a third party debit collector. I have a very old debit from 2009. I have proof and documents that I had a payoff and settle agreement with another collector. XXXX and XXXX decided to garnish my wages on the same account. When I recieved notice of the garnishment I submitted proof from the other collector the settlement prior to the court date. XXXX and XXXX advised that they will not except the documents I sent and that if I paid over {$13000.00} to them they will close the account. I told them I dont have {$13000.00} and they told me they were going to go ahead and garnish and there was nothing I could do. Of course I do not know my legal rights and thought that because this stamped paper I had no defense. I then proceed to get multiple calls from other collectors for the same account. One collector advised that they would garnish my wages and I had to send proof. This got me thinking how and why. I called the origional collector and they advised on two seperate occasions that my information can be put back into the system. I called XXXX and XXXX and I guess they have held on to this account for a long time letting it build interest. When I asked why they didnt contact me they said they sent a letter over a year prior which I never recieved. When I asked why they didnt except my proof they acted like they had no idea what I was talking about. When I asked who is collecting the interested they could not give me a answer, when I mentioned I was going to record our call they hung up on me. When I asked for verification they sent me a court paper with some other collector on it, nothing said XXXX and XXXX only the envelope it came in. I found out I can contact court documents and get the same thing, I can also print off a wage garnishment form online as well. I contacted the origional collector Velocity Investments. I was able tosubmit the proof to them. I got a call the day after I submitted the proof and they advised that this account should be closed. I had a hard time but was able to get to the collector I had the settlement with for a payoff. I submitted this to Velocity and they still havent closed the account. I have now been garnished over {$8000.00} on a settlement of {$2800.00} I also had to pay over {$200.00} in fees. This is extorshion.

I recently found multiple inquiries on my credit report that I never authorized. I wasnt even aware of these companies before they appeared on my report. To be sure, I did some research and reached out to them directly. As expected, I never applied for anything with them, never signed anything, never gave them any ID, NOTHING AT ALL! These unauthorized inquiries are dragging down my credit, and no one is taking responsibility for the mess. Whats even more frustrating is that Im already battling XXXX, and this added stress is only making things worse. I shouldnt have to fight for my health and my financial stability at the same time, especially over something I had no control over.Im doing everything I can to resolve this. I need these inquiries removed so I can focus on my treatment and start restoring my credit without this extra burden hanging over me.
