Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: National Credit Systems,Inc. (GA)

I am deeply frustrated and concerned about the ongoing issues I'm facing with National Credit System. Despite my repeated efforts, including sending multiple letters and a validation letter, they have continuously failed to respond. Yet, they persist in reporting to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, which I believe is a clear violation of my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically Section 809 regarding the Validation of Debts.

Furthermore, the amount they are attempting to collect is higher than what is allegedly owed, adding to the gravity of the situation. In a recorded phone conversation with National Credit System, they claimed to have been hired by the original creditor. However, when I requested information about this creditor, which they are legally obligated to provide, they stated they didn't have it. This lack of transparency is not only deceptive but also unfair, falling squarely under the Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts and Practices ( UDAAP ). 

Their statement that even if the original creditor accepts payment and I settle the debt with them, they would not remove the entry from my credit report is another point of contention. This stance is not just unfair and deceptive ; it's outright abusive and goes against the principles of honesty and transparency that should govern their operations. The entire situation is causing me significant distress and is a major concern that needs to be addressed immediately.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION (GA)

We were having problems making payments and given a 6 month forbearance for Covid 19. My wife spoke to Truist and we were given another 6 month forbearance for Covid 19 and at end of forbearance period Truist refused to take our agreed to monthly payment. They asked for a lump sum to make up for past payments under forbearance. We never had a problem with Sun Trust but Truist employees screwed up numerous times and they could see it in their records. The employees reviewed notes in their records which showed their mistakes but never corrected. Truist sent us a form to fill out on how to handle past amount due and we requested to put at end of mortgage. At first Truist said they never received and then said they had received late. The interesting part was one employee said one thing and the other something different. Now Truist had sold mortgage to XXXX XXXX XXXX and won't give me copies of what was agreed to. I think the federal government needs to step in and straighten this company out. Next step should be a class action lawsuit for illegal loan practices between Truist Bank and now XXXX XXXX XXXX as they can't get their dates straight.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (KY)

I am disputing the " key factors '' on all of my credit reports. I requested a copy of my credit report after I got denied for credit. My actual credit report is fine, all the companies/agencies have reported my information correctly. My problem is with the actual credit bureaus themselves. They have what they call key factors and these key factors are wrong. For instance one of the key factors state " the date that you opened your oldest account is too recent ''. I do not know what they consider recent, but I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and I bought my first house when I was XXXX. So to me XXXX years is not recent. Or another key factor states " your largest credit limit on open bankcard or revolving accounts is too low ''. I dont even know what that means. I called Equifax today and spoke with XXXX and he could not even explain what that means to me. I dont understand these XXXX factors. I have an XXXX credit score, but I have XXXX negative key factors that are coming from the credit reporting agencies themselves, not any creditor. I want these key factors removed from my credit reports. I was denied credit because of the key factors and I have worked too hard for too many years to get perfect credit for the actual credit bureaus to ruin the work I have done. Thank you XXXX XXXX
