Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Debt Recovery Solutions, LLC (DE)

XXXX XXXX says I owe them over XXXX for their truck driving CDL program but I worked for that company for months and they had me sitting around unpaid several times waiting for a trainer, waiting for a co-driver and just waiting for loads. I was underpaid and then I left 3 weeks before my contract was up because they kept leaving me stranded places while I was being unpaid and many miles away from home. They were sued in a class action lawsuit for this and for charging people for the school while under paying them. I believe I meet the requirements of the debt settlement and they were supposed to wipe away the debt of the many drivers they did this to. I complained to XXXX XXXX many times years ago when they first try to charge me with this debt and they ignored me. This debt is also over XXXX XXXX XXXX and they sold it to a debt collection agency and are now reporting it on my credit and its a debt thats over XXXX XXXX XXXX. I also think its an illegal debt. They were literally sued for this in 2020 and was ordered to pay debt XXXX XXXX for students that met them criteria. Which I should be included because I was a driver during those years, I drive through California multiple times and I was left sitting multiple times without getting paid and being forced to pay an unfair tuition that they well got their monies worth. The collection agency they sold this debt to was Debt Recovery Solutions. As a collection agency shouldnt they know about XXXX XXXX 's illegal attempts to profit off its student drivers and ruining their credit. They had a class action lawsuit, they should not be able to collect any student debt for the years listed in the class action. They were sued for it

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Arcadia Holdings, LLC (CT)

Thank you first and foremost for representing people like myself whom feel absolutely violated by these criminals. 

I received medical services last year, and received a bill from XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) indicating that I owed more money than my explanation of benefits letter indicated I should pay. XXXX indicated I owed over them over {$400.00}, whereas my EOB indicated I owed ~ {$160.00}. This claim was ultimately handed from XXXX to Arcadia collection agency as there was still a discrepancy in the amount to be paid, with me refusing to pay more than my EOB. At this time I contacted XXXX, my claim representative, and they had a cease a desist letter filed to Arcadia to halt any further harassment to myself. 

XXXX also advised me to pay the EOB amount only ( ~ {$160.00} ) to Acadia to prevent all further interactions with them and also advised to hand write a letter to Arcadia indicating they were no longer to harass me, which I did. 

Unfortunately, despite the hand written letter and the cease and desist letter filed, these thieves have attempted yet again to send me a physical letter demanding me to pay the remains amount of the {$400.00}, Without any proof of indicated payment due and even going so far as to suggest I outright pay them and then ask the insurance company to pay me back ... .... I am outraged. 

They may retort that the case is closed and that I have a XXXX balance. This however, is not at all what concerns me. It is their violation of the FDCPA that they need be held accountable.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

Recently, I did an investigation on my credit report which caused financial hardships & stress on me because, I feel like some of my personal information may have fallen into the wrong hands based on the Equifax data breach I found unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable items that XXXX, Equifax, XXXX didnt make sure it was reporting 100 % correct. 

I reached out to them, and nothing was done. In accordance with Fair Credit Reporting Act, everything must be 100 % accurate on my credit report and Under 15 U.S Code 1681e ( b ) 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) these accounts are in violation of not reporting 100 % accurate. 

This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices of the FDCPA which prohibits. They furnished these accounts that we didn't agree upon, and I didn't sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties, and I did not participate in any of it. More so they didn't follow the proper 5 step validation procedure which made this unfair practice. According to the FDCPA I'm entitled to XXXX dollars per violation and clearly, they violated my rights.

I have previously disputed this item with you and in response you verified the item as accurate stating you verified with the court, I contacted the court and their response is enclosed. It is clear they do not report to you or any credit bureaus for that matter therefore your original response verifying was either in error or a LIE either way the reporting requirements do not comply with the FCRA section 611 15 USC section 1681 and the information must be deleted immediately.

I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with the continued presence of fraudulent items on my credit report, despite a second attempt to rectify the situation. The handling of this matter has been deeply unsatisfactory, and I feel compelled to bring this issue to your attention formally. 

I initiated the process to dispute and remove unauthorized and fraudulent items from my credit report. Despite a previous attempt, these items persist on my report, causing significant distress and concern about the accuracy of my credit history. 

I understand the importance of promptly addressing fraudulent activities and maintaining the integrity of credit reports. I expected that the second attempt to rectify this matter would yield positive results, but unfortunately, that has not been the case. 

I insist on an immediate and thorough investigation into the reasons for the persistent presence of fraudulent items on my credit report, despite a second attempt to remove them. I request a detailed explanation of the steps being taken to expedite the resolution of this matter and prevent similar lapses in the future. 

Furthermore, I demand that you provide a formal, written confirmation of the successful removal of the fraudulent items from my credit report within the exact time frame of receiving this letter. Failure to address this concern promptly will compel me to escalate this matter to relevant regulatory authorities and consumer protection agencies. I am asking for your assistance to remove the fraud items in my crewdit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

In light of recent developments, it has been brought to my attention that the creditor failed to furnish the required 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have allowed sufficient time for payment processing and thus, prevented any late payments from occurring on these accounts. This oversight has led to a misrepresentation of the payment status, suggesting a billing error on the part of the creditor.

In response to this discrepancy, I kindly request tangible evidence from the creditor 's bank account, demonstrating any instances of non-payment that purportedly resulted in the reported late status. This evidence is essential for clarifying the circumstances surrounding the alleged late payments and verifying the accuracy of the reported information.

On XX/XX/2023, I received a phone call from Barclays stating that my account is past due XXXX days. This account was past due XXXX days due to an annual fee that posted to my account. 

I received no notification whatsoever regarding late payment.

Barclays ended up closing my account without me knowing.

I paid all fees, penalties, and remaining balance. I requested paper statements and attempted to find out if my credit score was affected and whether my card could be reinstated. Representatives were unable to answer.
